News ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, 2025
Pakistan sealed their spot in this year's ICC Women's Cricket World Cup with a perfect Qualifier campaign at home. With five wins from as many games, the hosts punched their ticket in the eight-team tournament. Coming on the back of a stellar campaign, lead spinner Sadia Iqbal believes Pakistan are ticking all the right boxes going into the tournament set to be hosted by India and Sri Lanka starting September 30. 'We had a good Qualifier campaign, the preparation was very good for it,' Iqbal was quoted in an interview with the PCB. 'We know that the competition is going to be tough at the World Cup, with all the big teams featuring in the tournament. We are preparing keeping that in mind with practice matches, variation, etc.' Pakistan players look back at their successful campaign | WCWCQ 2025 The Pakistan players celebrate and reminisce a successful qualification campaign to the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 later this year. Iqbal was among the key contributors for Pakistan in the Qualifier campaign, snapping nine wickets during the tournament and finishing as their third-highest wicket-taker behind skipper Fatima Sana (13) and Nashra Sandhu (10). The 29-year-old tweaker continued her impressive run with the ball by reclaiming the No.1 spot in the ICC Women's T20I Bowling Rankings back in May. Opening up on her individual feat, Iqbal said, 'This obviously depends on performances. The Rankings are determind based on performances. I try and give my 100 percent and everything else is a result of that. 'It's a big honour for me to become the No. 1 ranked bowler in the world while playing for Pakistan. It's always my desire to help lift the team to new heights with my performances. 'I relish the added responsibility of the team relying more on me. It's challenging but I try and enjoy it.' Pakistan will kickstart their Cricket World Cup campaign against Bangladesh on October 2, 2025 in Colombo.

The Asia Cup 2025 is officially coming to Abu Dhabi
The Asian Cricket Council has confirmed that the United Arab Emirates will host the 2025 Asia Cup. Following a meeting in Dhaka on Thursday July 24, ACC president Mohsin Naqvi confirmed that the tournament will officially be held in the UAE. The biennial cricket tournament will be played between Tuesday September 9 and Sunday September 28. While venues have not officially been confirmed, it's likely that the Abu Dhabi Zayed Cricket Stadium will host some of the biggest matches, which could include Pakistan vs India. Old rivals India and Pakistan have been drawn in the same group, which means that we'll likely get another showdown between the two in Abu Dhabi and Dubai following the ICC Champions Trophy event in February. Similar to the ICC Champions Trophy, India was originally slated to host the competition, but a dispute between the cricket boards of India and Pakistan has meant the tournament had to be moved. Unlike the ICC Champions Trophy, which saw matches played in both Pakistan and Dubai, the Asia Cup 2025 will be played entirely in the UAE.

India and Pakistan are joined in Group A by Oman and the tournament hosts United Arab Emirates. Asia Cup Group A fixtures India vs UAE, Wed Sep 10 Pakistan vs Oman, Fri Sep 12 India vs Pakistan, Sun Sep 14 UAE vs Oman, Mon Sep 15 Pakistan vs UAE, Wed Sep 17 India vs Oman, Fri Sep 19 Group B will feature Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Hong Kong.

Each nation will play a single T20 group stage match against those they've been drawn with and the two teams with the most points after the groups will advance to the Super Four stage. The Super Four stage will then see the top two teams from each group advance to another four team group and the top two from that will then play in the grand final on Sunday September 29. As the two biggest teams in the tournament, there's a strong possibility that we could then get a second and third India vs Pakistan match in the Super Four stage and then the Asia Cup final if both teams make it that far. If India and Pakistan are ranked in the top two in their group then they'll meet each other again on Sunday September 21 in the Super Four stage Asia Cup 2025 Super Four and final dates Group B winner vs Group B runner-up, Sat Sep 20 Group A winner vs Group A runner-up, Sun Sep 21 Group A runner-up vs Group B winner, Tue Sep 23 Group A winner vs Group B runner-up, Wed Sep 24 Group A runner-up vs Group B runner-up, Thu Sep 25 Group A winner vs Group B runner-up, Fri Sep 26 Final, Sun Sep 28 Asia Cup 2025 in Abu Dhabi tickets (Credit: ICC/Getty) Tickets will go on sale in the near future, once venues have been finalised.
