New Venues for Women’s Cricket
Mullanpur, Raipur, and Thiruvananthapuram have never hosted a women’s international match before. However, Indore’s Nehru Stadium has hosted two Women’s World Cup games in the past. But, no international cricket has been played there since the Holkar Stadium was built.
Visakhapatnam’s ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium has hosted five women’s ODIs and six women’s T20Is.
India to Host Women’s ODI World Cup Again
India will be hosting the Women’s ODI World Cup for the fourth time. The last ICC women’s event hosted in India was the T20 World Cup in 2016. India Women exited in the group stage of that tournament.
This will be the first Women’s ODI World Cup after the retirements of Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami. Both were legends of Indian women’s cricket.
Tournament Format and Teams
The tournament will follow the same format as the 2022 edition. A total of eight teams will play 31 matches. The teams that have already qualified:
