The International Cricket Council (ICC) has released the schedule for the Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2025. The tournament will take place in Lahore, Pakistan, from April 9 to 19.
Six teams will battle for the final two spots in the Women’s World Cup, which India will host later this year. Pakistan, Bangladesh, West Indies, and Ireland failed to secure direct qualification through the Women’s Championship (2023–25) and will now battle in the qualifiers. Scotland and Thailand, the next two highest-ranked teams in the ICC ODI rankings, complete the lineup.
The tournament will take place at two venues: the renovated Gaddafi Stadium and the Lahore City Cricket Association (LCCA) Stadium. The tournament will follow a round-robin format, with the top two teams earning a place in the World Cup. Day matches will start at 9:30 AM local time, while evening matches will begin at 2:00 PM.
The tournament opener on April 9 will feature hosts Pakistan taking on Ireland at Gaddafi Stadium, while the West Indies will face Scotland at LCCA Stadium. All six teams will be eager to deliver their best performances, with a World Cup spot on the line.
