The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 is set to be held in India and Sri Lanka from September 30 to November 2. It is going to be one of the most accessible international sporting events, with ticket prices capped at an unprecedented low of Rs 100 ($1.14). The ICC released the tickets on Thursday in an exclusive four-day pre-sale window, making this the most affordable ICC global event in history.
Fans are allowed to buy tickets for all the matches happening in India and Sri Lanka through the pre-sale window, open via Google Pay at Tickets.cricketworldcup.com until September 8. General sales of tickets will begin on September 9 at 8 PM IST. The announcement came in the backdrop of the ICC’s women-only global partnership with Google, aimed at boosting fan engagement in women’s cricket.
The move marked a significant shift in approach by the ICC, with the cricket council looking to see record crowds filling the arenas and women’s cricket becoming accessible to all.
In the previous edition of the tournament held in New Zealand, tickets were priced at NZD 7 for children (Rs 350) and NZD 17 for adults (Rs 850), nearly eight times higher than the current pricing.
Meanwhile, India’s leading playback singer Shreya Ghoshal will be the star attraction at the opening ceremony in Guwahati on September 30. Ghoshal will also perform the yet-to-be-released tournament anthem “Bring it Home.” The spectacle will precede the high-voltage opener between co-hosts India and Sri Lanka.
A total of eight teams will compete at the event, including India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh, England, and South Africa. The 13th edition of the Women’s World Cup will mark the return of the tournament to India after 12 years.
The ICC announced a prize pool of $13.88 million for the tournament – almost four times the 2022 edition.
