NEW DELHI: The Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 qualifiers are set to take place from April 9-19 in Lahore, Pakistan. The round-robin tournament will feature 15 games, with the Gaddafi Stadium and Lahore City Cricket Association (LCCA) Stadium serving as the two venues.
The qualifiers will involve six teams vying for the two remaining spots in the upcoming Women’s Cricket World Cup in India, scheduled for October and November 2025.
The participating teams include four full members — Pakistan, West Indies, Bangladesh, and Ireland — who finished between seventh and tenth place in the ICC Women’s Championship standings.
Scotland and Thailand, the next two best-ranked sides in the Women’s ODI Team Rankings as of October 28, 2024, complete the lineup.
Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and hosts India have already secured their places in the World Cup by virtue of finishing in the top six of the 10-team ICC Women’s Championship (2023-25).
The tournament will commence with a double-header on April 9, featuring Pakistan taking on Ireland at Gaddafi Stadium, while West Indies face Scotland at LCCA. The following day, Bangladesh and Thailand will clash at LCCA.
Notable matches to look forward to include the Pakistan-West Indies clash on April 14, the European encounter between Ireland and Scotland on April 18, and the Pakistan-Bangladesh match-up on April 19.
