Anjana Kaluarachchi, at CEYLON TODAY, 22 August 2025 where the title reads “Revised Schedule: Colombo to Host 11 Matches of ICC Women’s World Cup”
The ICC has released a revised schedule for the upcoming ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka from 30 September to 2 November. Due to the unavailability of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Navi Mumbai will replace Bengaluru as one of the five host venues. The DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai is now set to stage five key fixtures, including three league matches, a semi-final, and potentially the final on 2 November.
ICC Chairman Jay Shah praised Navi Mumbai’s growing reputation in women’s cricket, stating: “Navi Mumbai has emerged as a genuine home for women’s cricket. The energy and support it brings will elevate the World Cup experience for players and fans alike.”
He added that while the venue change was unforeseen, the revised line-up of five world-class stadiums will showcase the best of the women’s game and inspire a new generation of fans.
The first semi-final is scheduled for 29 October in Guwahati or Colombo, while the second semi-final will take place in Navi Mumbai on 30 October. The final will be held in either Colombo or Navi Mumbai on 2 November.
