ICC Replaces ‘Banned’ M Chinnaswamy Stadium With DY Patil in Women’s World Cup Schedule
DY Patil Stadium replaces M Chinnaswamy as ICC updates venues for Women's World Cup 2025 matches.
The ICC has made a big change to the Women’s World Cup schedule. Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium will no longer host matches, with DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai stepping in as the new venue.
Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium is now set to host up to five matches, including three league games, one semifinal, and potentially the final if Pakistan Women do not make it through.
The rest of the tournament schedule and venues remain unchanged, with the competition running from September 30 to November 2.
The knockout fixtures will also see some reshuffling. Navi Mumbai will host the second semifinal, while Guwahati’s ACA Stadium will host the first.
However, if Pakistan reaches the semifinals, the first knockout will take place in Colombo on October 29. Similarly, if India and Pakistan meet in the final, Colombo will host the championship match.
Other confirmed venues for the Women’s World Cup include ACA Stadium (Guwahati), Holkar Stadium (Indore), ACA-VDCA Stadium (Visakhapatnam), and R. Premadasa Stadium (Colombo, Sri Lanka).
The tournament will open with an exciting clash between India and Sri Lanka in Guwahati on September 30, kicking off the competition with a high-voltage match for fans to enjoy.
