Which stadium hosted the final of the 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup?

Concept

A tournament venue is established from the official match schedule or completed match record, not from a stadium’s general fame or its history of hosting international cricket.

For similarly prominent grounds, the event name, match stage, date, and venue in the governing body’s record must all refer to the same match.

Application

The ICC’s completed-match report identifies the India–South Africa final on 2 November 2025 and records Dr. D. Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai as the venue. The ICC’s pre-match officials release independently names the same final and the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.

Contrast

• Wankhede Stadium is a major Mumbai ground, but it is not the venue named in the ICC record for this final.

• M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is an international ground in Bengaluru, but it is not the venue named for this final.

• Eden Gardens is an international ground in Kolkata, but it is not the venue named for this final.

Cross-check

Both ICC records agree on the match stage, participating teams, and Navi Mumbai venue. Therefore, the required stadium is D. Y. Patil Stadium.
