ICC announces schedule for Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2025 in Pakistan
KARACHI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Friday, unveiled the highly-anticipated schedule of the Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2025, slated to be played in Pakistan from April 9 to 19.
The sixth edition of the tournament, comprised of four full members – Pakistan, Bangladesh, West Indies and Ireland – and associate members Scotland and Thailand will be played across two venues in Lahore – Gaddafi Stadium and Lahore Cricket Club Association (LCCA) Ground.
The Qualifier, comprised of 15 matches, will kick off with the curtain-raiser between hosts Pakistan and Ireland on April 9, while West Indies will take on Scotland at the LCCA on the same day.
The top two teams by the end of the league-stage matches will qualify for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup and will join Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka and hosts India, who qualified for the World Cup by finishing in the top six of the 10-team ICC Women’s Championship (2022-25).
“We are pleased to announce the match schedule for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2025,” said ICC CEO Geoff Allardice in a statement.
“The six competing teams are just one step away from the Women’s Cricket World Cup and I am sure they will all be eagerly looking forward to the competition.
“On behalf of the ICC, I would like to wish the teams all the best for the tournament in Lahore as part of the build-up to the Cricket World Cup later this year.”
