The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium at Mullanpur will stage the final of the Women's ODI World Cup later this year. The 50-over extravaganza will be staged from September 29 to October 26

The Women's 50-over World Cup will be held in India between September 29 and October 26. The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium in Mullanpur will host the final. Vishakhapatnam, Thiruvananthapuram, Raipur, and Indore are the other host cities.

Interestingly, Mullanpur has never hosted a women's international match. Indore, Raipur, Vishakhapatnam, and Thiruvananthapuram are the other host cities for the tournament.

All the other hosting cities, with the exception of Visakhapatnam, have not had a women's international match. Indore had hosted two Women's World Cup games played at the Nehru Stadium, which has not witnessed international cricket matches after the completion of the Holkar Stadium in the late 2000s.

The ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vishakhapatnam had hosted an international women's cricket match as recently as 2014. Six T20Is and five women's ODIs were hosted there.

Seven times world champions Australia, four times champions England, 2024 T20 World Cup winners New Zealand and South Africa, and reigning Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka, hosts India included, have already joined the tournament. The last two berths will be determined in the qualifiers for the Women's World Cup, which start on April 9 in Lahore.

If Pakistan qualify for the 2025 World Cup, the Women's Green games will be hosted in either Sri Lanka or the United Arab Emirates.

India is hosting the Women's World Cup for the first time since 2013, when they were eliminated in the group stage. India previously hosted the Women's T20 World Cup in 2016. The format for the 2025 edition is the same as the 2022 edition: eight teams will play a total of 31 matches.

India has never won the tournament. The closest they came to winning the title was in 2017, when they finished second to England. This is India's first ODI World Cup since the retirement of Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami.
