The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will start on September 30, with India as the host country. The opening match will be played in Bengaluru between India and Sri Lanka. However, due to political tensions, Pakistan’s women’s team will not play in India.
Instead, all of Pakistan’s matches will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. This decision ensures their safe participation in the tournament. The big India vs. Pakistan match will be played on October 5 in Colombo, adding to the excitement.
Pakistan’s other matches include games against Australia on October 8, Bangladesh on October 2, and England on October 15. They will also face New Zealand on October 18, South Africa on October 21, and Sri Lanka on October 24. All matches are scheduled at the neutral venue.
The semi-finals will take place in either Guwahati, Bengaluru, or Colombo. The final will be held on November 2. The exact location will depend on team standings closer to the date.
Despite political challenges, the ICC has ensured full participation from all teams. This move also highlights the importance of keeping sports separate from politics. Fans can now look forward to exciting matches and strong competition.–
