22 August 2025: The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, to be played in India and Sri Lanka from 30 September to 2 November, has received a revised schedule after the unavailability of Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai will now serve as one of the five official venues for the tournament.
Navi Mumbai will host up to five key fixtures, including three league-stage matches, a semi-final, and potentially the final on 2 November. The other confirmed venues remain unchanged—ACA Stadium (Guwahati), Holkar Stadium (Indore), ACA-VDCA Stadium (Visakhapatnam), and R. Premadasa Stadium (Colombo, Sri Lanka).
ICC Chairman Jay Shah welcomed the move, noting Navi Mumbai’s growing importance in women’s cricket. He highlighted the strong fan support during recent international matches and the Women’s Premier League, calling it the perfect stage to showcase world-class women’s cricket.
The semi-finals are scheduled for 29 October (Guwahati or Colombo) and 30 October (Navi Mumbai), with the final set for 2 November in either Colombo or Navi Mumbai. With world-class venues and high expectations, the 13th edition of the Women’s World Cup promises to inspire a new generation of cricket fans globally.
