India’s Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai will host the ultimate of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 on November 2 after Pakistan lost to South Africa by
South Africa, together with England and Australia, have already qualified for the semi-finals, which might be played in Navi Mumbai (October 30) and one other venue yet to be announced.
Hosts India are yet to verify their place with Recent Zealand and Sri Lanka also in with a likelihood for the ultimate spot within the last 4.
Can India Qualify For Semis?
With Australia, South Africa, and England already confirmed for the semifinals, the ultimate spot in the highest 4 now lies between India and Recent Zealand. The 2 teams will face off in a high-stakes, must-win match that can likely determine who advances.
A win against the White Ferns on Thursday will secure India’s place within the semifinals. Nevertheless, in the event that they lose, India will find themselves in a precarious position, having to depend on other results. Should India lose to Sophie Devine’s team, they need to then defeat Bangladesh of their final group game on Sunday and hope Recent Zealand loses to England.
In such a scenario, each India and Recent Zealand would finish with six points each, and qualification would hinge on the Net Run Rate (NRR). Currently, each teams have 4 points, with India ahead as a result of a superior NRR.
If Thursday’s match is washed out, it could actually profit India, but only under certain conditions. They’d still need England to beat Recent Zealand, and Sri Lanka and Pakistan must not reach six points.
Each of India’s remaining matches — against Recent Zealand and Bangladesh — might be played on the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. If rain washes out each games, India will still reach the semifinals with six points, provided England doesn’t lose to Recent Zealand. In that case, even when Sri Lanka or Pakistan also finish with six points, India’s higher NRR should secure their semifinal spot.

Why Final Of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 Was Undecided?
After the controversy surrounding India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy earlier this 12 months, it was decided that future ICC event matches between the 2 nations, when hosted by either country, would happen at neutral venues. The Indian men’s team played their Champions Trophy games in Dubai, while the Pakistan women’s team played their matches in Colombo.
If Pakistan had progressed to the semifinal and final stages, these matches would even have been held at the identical venue. As Pakistan haven’t qualified for the semis and might’t play the ultimate, the match might be played in India.
