The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced revised venue changes for the upcoming Women’s ODI World Cup 2025, which is scheduled to take place on September 30, 2025. Navi Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium will host five matches, replacing M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This has excited cricket fans from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).

Why Matches Shifted to Navi Mumbai From Bengaluru?

However, other venues for the Women's Cricket World Cup remain unchanged. If Pakistan qualifies for the knockout stages, they will play their semi-final match in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
