Perspective
It was originally announced that the tournament would take place in five different venues across India; Indore, Thiruvananthapuram, Nava Raipur, Mullanpur and Vishakhapatnam,[5] with Mullanpur scheduled to host the final.[6] With the Women's World Cup coinciding with the men's domestic fixtures, the BCCI had selected five venues for the tournament, prioritising favourable weather conditions and efficient logistical arrangements.[7]
Moreover, after Pakistan's qualification for the World Cup, their matches will be played outside India at a neutral venue.[8]
In June 2025, ICC announced the final venues in India and Sri Lanka, for the World Cup.[3] The tournament will be played in hybrid model. The venues are Bengaluru, Guwahati, Indore and Visakhapatnam in India, and Colombo in Sri Lanka.[9] In August 2025, ICC announced that the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai replaced Bengaluru for the tournament.[10]
