India aims to end a 47-year wait for their first ICC Women's World Cup title with a strong squad led by Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana, holding a 31-3 ODI series lead over Sri Lanka.

  • On September 30, India begin their ICC Women's World Cup 2025 campaign against Sri Lanka at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, with the toss at 2:30 PM IST and match at 3 PM IST, led by Harmanpreet Kaur.
  • Aiming to end a 47-year wait, India enter the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 running from September 30 to November 2 with eight teams in a round-robin format and top four to semifinals.
  • India's selected squad features Harmanpreet Kaur as captain and Smriti Mandhana, vice-captain averaging 66.28 this year with four ODI centuries, plus Renuka Singh and Jemimah Rodrigues.
  • India's head-to-head dominance means their 31-3 lead over Sri Lanka and five home league games across Guwahati, Indore, Visakhapatnam, and Navi Mumbai could boost their top-four bid.
