Harmanpreet Kaur-led India will open their Women's World Cup 2025 campaign against Sri Lanka on Tuesday, September 30, in Guwahati. The contest against Chamari Athapaththu's side presents India with an opportunity to hit the ground running and start the competition on a positive note. India are the standout favourites for the contest against the Islanders. Ahead of the game, India played two warm-up matches against England and New Zealand, winning one and losing one.
India also recently played a three-match ODI series against Australia, led by Alyssa Healy. The hosts might have lost the series, but they gave Australia a real run for their money with Smriti Mandhana emerging as the standout performer with the bat.
India are yet to win the World Cup and the 2025 edition is the best chance for the side to end their trophy drought and mark a watershed moment for women's sport in the country.
