Women's ODI World Cup 2025 Dates, Venue: The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday announced that the 13th edition of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup will be held in India and Sri Lanka from September 30 to November 2 with Colombo coming into the picture as an additional venue.

The eight-team tournament will be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium (Bengaluru), ACA Stadium (Guwahati), Holkar Stadium (Indore), ACA-VDCA Stadium (Visakhapatnam), and R. Premdasa Stadium (Colombo).

Colombo is a late addition to the list as a neutral venue considering Pakistan's stand not to travel to India for the ICC event, following the hybrid model accepted earlier this year for the Champions Trophy.
