India Women (IND-W) are set to face Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) in the opening match of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday, September 30, at 3:00 PM IST. The tournament will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, with India hosting most of the games while Sri Lanka will host the fixtures of Pakistan.

India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, is coming into this ICC tournament having had a mixed bag in their warm-up matches prior to the event. They lost by 153 runs to England but bounced back hard with a four-wicket win against New Zealand. Being a home team and having a great balanced squad, India will look to start off hot and build momentum. 

On the other hand, Sri Lanka has had a rough buildup to the tournament. Their warm-up match against Pakistan was washed out due to the rain and then they lost a nail-biter to Bangladesh, losing by one wicket under a tough run chase. Chamari Athapaththu, their captain, will be crucial in flipping Sri Lanka's fortunes, while Sri Lanka will be looking to get a win against the hosts in this opening round.

Both teams enter the match with their Super Four opening win. Therefore, the match has become very important as both teams will seek to put themselves in the final.

With four victories in four matches, the Men in Blue appear determined to make it five in a row.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh opened their Super Four journey with a valiant victory against Sri Lanka. Building on this success, Litton Das’ men will take to the field determined to upset the in-form Indians and solidify their credentials for reaching the grand finale.

In Super 4, after the completion of three match, the points table looks like this.

India (IND) and Pakistan (PAK) will once again face off in the Super Four of the Asia Cup 2025 tournament at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, September 21, at 8:00 PM IST. This will be the second time both teams meet in this tournament after India comfortably beat PAK by seven wickets in the group stage. This time, there will be more at stake behind the line, if intensity is created in the first group stage matchup, there will be a lot of intensity on and off the field. 

The Men in Blue have been the team to beat, winning all three of their games in this tournament. In their last game against Oman, India won their last game by 21 runs, they were testing out their bench strength and at the same time, rotating their batting order. India began their tournament first with a comfortable 93-run win against Oman, but then they lost to India and bounced back with a 41 run win over the UAE in a must-win game. 

The last time these two teams met, India refused to shake hands with the PAK players right after the Pahalgam attack. So, with tensions still high, there will be tension again leading into this high-voltage matchup, and fans can expect an entertaining game.

Super 4

India (IND) will face Oman (OMA) in Match No. 12 of the Asia Cup 2025 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, on Friday, September 19. India has already qualified for the Super Four after two comprehensive victories with a nine-wicket win against UAE, and a seven-wicket win against Pakistan. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side will be overwhelming favorites and might look to make some changes to the line-up, with Arshdeep Singh replacing Jasprit Bumrah likely being one of them. 

On the other hand, Oman has faced a tough tournament. They suffered a heavy loss to Pakistan by 93 runs in their first match, then lost to UAE by 42 runs, which also eliminated them from the tournament. Captain Jatinder Singh and his team will want to show some pride against one of the leading sides in world cricket.

With two wins already under their belt, Sri Lanka will aim to continue their dominance and seal their place in the Super Four stage.

Afghanistan, in contrast, is in a do-or-die situation. Having obtained one win and lost one, Rashid Khan’s side must win this game to stay in the tournament. Should they lose, they would be out of the competition and confirm that Sri Lanka and Bangladesh would progress instead.

SL vs AFG: Head to Head

Asia Cup 2025: Updated Points Table

After completion of ten matches, here’s how the points table looks in both groups:

Group A

Group B

Pakistan will face off against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Match No. 10 of the current Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, 17 September. This match is a de facto knockout, as the winner will guarantee themselves a place in the Super Four.

Pakistan is coming off a tough seven-wicket loss to arch-rival India. With one win from their two matches, the Men in Green must win here to keep their campaign alive. Although they hold the advantage in net run rate from their comfortable win over Oman, losing another match could lead to their tournament exit. The UAE  on the other hand, are coming into this match with their heads held high after their victory against Oman. A win against Pakistan not only sends the Men in Green out of the tournament, but it will also help UAE make history by qualifying for the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup for the first time ever.

For Hong Kong, the season is looking less than ideal. After losing their first two matches, Yasim Murtaza and his team will be playing their last match of the season. Having nothing to lose, they can cause an upset and finish on a high against the much stronger Sri Lankan team.
