US EditionICC Women’s WC: Navi Mumbai Replaces Bengaluru as Host; Tournament Opener in Guwahati - The Statesman
- The ICC announced on August 22, 2025, that Navi Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium will replace Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium as a venue in the Women's ODI World Cup starting September 30, 2025.
- This adjustment was made after the June 4 incident at Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s IPL celebrations, compounded by the local cricket body's failure to obtain the required permissions for hosting matches.
- Navi Mumbai will host up to five matches including three league games, the second semifinal on October 30, and potentially the final on November 2 if Pakistan does not reach it.
- ICC Chairman Jay Shah expressed optimism that the tournament, returning to India after 12 years, will engage audiences deeply and motivate emerging cricket enthusiasts.
- The venue switch ensures the tournament proceeds at five world-class locations, improving safety and logistics, while Colombo remains a potential final venue if Pakistan qualifies.
