Mullanpur to host the final of Women's ODI World Cup 2025

Women's ODI World Cup 2025 will be played during a window from September 26 to November 2*, with the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium in Mullanpur penciled in to host the final. Vishakhapatnam, Thiruvananthapuram, Raipur and Indore are the other venues.

Barring the Visakhapatnam stadium, none of the other venues have hosted a women's international yet. The ACA-VDCA Stadium in Vishakhapatnam last hosted a women's international in 2014. In all, the venue has hosted six women's T20Is and five women's ODIs.

Indore, as a city, has previously hosted two Women's World Cup games at the Nehru Stadium, which stopped hosting international cricket after the Holkar Stadium was built in the late 2000s.

Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa and Sri Lanka, apart from hosts India, have already qualified for the competition. The last two spots will be decided through the Women's World Cup Qualifiers that will be played in Lahore from April 9.

If Pakistan qualify, they will play their matches either in UAE or Sri Lanka as part of a reciprocal arrangement between the BCCI and PCB before men's Champions Trophy 2025.

India are hosting the Women's World Cup for the first time since 2013, where they exited at the group stage. They also hosted the Women's T20 World Cup in 2016. The format for the 2025 edition will be the same as in 2022, with eight teams playing a total of 31 matches.

India are yet to win the tournament. The closest they came to being crowned champions was in 2017, when they were runners-up to England. This will be the first ODI World Cup for India after the retirements of Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami.
