The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 sees the best players on the planet come together to compete for the top prize. This 50-over ODI tournament is taking place across India and Sri Lanka, as teams look to take the crown from Australia.

As the holders, the Aussies are well backed to win once again. They showed during their Ashes demolition of England just how good they can be, winning all three ODI matches in the multi-format series. India, on home soil, will likely be the key challengers and will have huge backing from the crowd. The England team has gone through significant upheaval after some turbulent recent times. Former captain Charlotte Edwards now coaches the side, having replaced Jon Lewis in April.

There are some hugely exciting players to look out for across many of the teams. Aussie Beth Mooney goes into the tournament as the number-one-ranked batter, followed by Hayley Matthews of the West Indies and India’s Smriti Mandhana. England boast the best bowler in the world - skilful spinner Sophie Ecclestone.

Read on, and we will show you how to watch the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup wherever you are.
