Ind-Pak women’s world cup match to be played on October 5 in Colombo.
India’s match against Bangladesh is scheduled for October 26 in Bengaluru, while their high-profile encounter against Pakistan is scheduled for October 5 at the neutral R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
On October 1, Australia, the reigning champions, will play New Zealand at Indore’s Holkar Stadium to begin their campaign. On October 22, in Indore, the main event—a rematch of the previous edition’s final—will take place versus England. On October 12, India will play the holders at Visakhapatnam.
According to the hybrid agreement reached between the BCCI and the PCB, Pakistan will play all of its matches in Colombo. In addition, they will play Bangladesh on October 2, Australia on October 8, England on October 15, New Zealand on October 18, South Africa on October 21, and Sri Lanka on October 24.
In the league stage, England’s other important games are against South Africa in Bengaluru on October 3, India in Indore on October 19, and New Zealand in Guwahati on October 26.
In addition to their campaign opener against Pakistan, Bangladesh will play three further games at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam and another encounter against Sri Lanka in Colombo on October 20. In the meanwhile, South Africa will play Australia (October 25) and New Zealand (October 6) in Indore.
Because of the tense relations between India and Pakistan and the fact that India will be playing their 2025 Champions Trophy matches in Dubai rather than in Pakistan, the host nation, it became necessary for Pakistan’s World Cup matches to be held at a neutral location. The PCB, in turn, said Pakistan would not travel to India for tournaments in the foreseeable future.
