The 13th edition of the Women’s ODI World Cup will kick off on September 30 with eight teams playing matches across venues in India and Sri Lanka for a month-long tournament.
The previous edition was held in 2022 and hosted by New Zealand — it was the third time that the Kiwis were the hosts; the other times being the 1982 and 2000 editions.
What happened in the 2022 Women’s World Cup?
Australia won its record-extending seventh world title after a 71-run win over defending champion in the final at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
Earlier, the English made it to the semifinals with four wins out of seven games, while serial winner Australia and South Africa eased into the last four as first and second respectively at the end of the round robin stage. West Indies pipped India by a point to clinch the fourth spot for the semis.
In the first semifinal, the Aussies breezed past West Indies with a 157-run win after Australia’s 306-run target — thanks to Alyssa Healy’s century — was too commanding for the Windies.

In the second semifinal, England kept its title defence alive by beating South Africa by 137 runs. Danni Wyatt-Hodge struck a ton before Sophie Ecclestone stifled the Proteas batters with a six-wicket haul.
In the summit clash, Australia, once again, rode on Healy’s 170 and posted 356/5 on the board. England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt was left waging a lone battle with an unbeaten knock of 148 as the English were bundled out in 43.4 overs.
