Pakistan qualify for ICC Women's World Cup 2025

The Pakistan Women’s Cricket Team has officially qualified for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, which will be held later this year in India. The team secured its spot by finishing in the top two of the qualifying tournament held in Lahore, remaining unbeaten throughout the campaign.

Despite the tournament taking place in India, it has been confirmed that Pakistan’s matches will not be held in the host country. Instead, all of Pakistan’s World Cup fixtures will be played at a neutral venue outside India.

This will be the 13th edition of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, and the fourth time India will serve as host, following previous editions in 1978, 1997, and 2013. The tournament will be held from 29 September to 26 October and will be the last time the competition features just eight teams.

A total of 31 matches will be played, with defending champions Australia aiming for their eighth title after winning in 2022.

Pakistan defeated the West Indies by 65 runs in their final match, having earlier beaten Ireland by 38 runs and Scotland by six wickets. With three wins in three matches, Pakistan finished second on the points table with six points.

Bangladesh also qualified for the World Cup, topping the table with six points and a better net run rate than Pakistan. Both teams now look forward to competing on the world stage in one of the most anticipated women’s cricket tournaments.
