The ICC World Cup 2025 starts on 30 September with India opposite Sri Lanka in the opening match in the Baraspar Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, will start at home strongly and set the tone for the tournament. They had mixed results in the warm-up games, with a heavy 153-run defeat to England before they bounced back with a four-wicket victory against New Zealand. The team will hope that the victory gives Hen Momentum on the way to the opener.
Sri Lanka, captain by Chamari Athapaththu, had a less than ideal structure. Their warm-up collision against Pakistan was washed away, while they were closely lost to Bangladesh. They will strive to place those setbacks behind them and start again against the hosts.

Ind-W vs SL-W Pitch Report for the 1st game of Women’s World Cup, 2025 in Baraspara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is known for its artificial -friendly nature, with good bouncing and wearing with which batters can play freely, especially early. Fast bowlers can get some help with the new ball, but as the game goes ahead, the field slows a touch to bring spinners into the game. Yet it remains a surface where runs are never too far away.
