When following ICC Women's World Cup, the premier international tournament for women's One Day International cricket, run by the International Cricket Council. Also called Women’s ODI World Cup, it showcases the best national squads every four years.
The women's cricket, the sport played by female athletes under the same rules as men's cricket has grown into a global stage thanks to the International Cricket Council, the governing body that sets the rules and oversees international competitions. The tournament encompasses a round‑robin league followed by knockout matches, meaning every team must balance aggressive batting with disciplined bowling. Requires national teams to qualify through regional events, the format pushes emerging cricket nations to raise their standards. Performance in the World Cup influences ICC rankings, which in turn affect future tournament seedings.
Among the contenders, the White Ferns, New Zealand’s women’s national cricket team have been in fine form. Their 100‑run victory over Bangladesh in Guwahati highlighted power‑hitting from Sophie Devine and a disciplined bowling attack. Bangladesh’s side, while on the back foot, showed resilience with a steady top order, proving the gap between established and rising teams is narrowing. Other powerhouses like Australia, India and England are also in the mix, each bringing a blend of veteran experience and youthful flair.
