The matches scheduled to be held at Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy stadium will now be held at DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai in the upcoming Women's World Cup 2025, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Friday, along with an updated list of fixtures. DY Patil stadium thus joins other venues - ACA Stadium (Guwahati), Holkar Stadium (Indore), ACA-VDCA Stadium (Visakhapatnam) and R Premadasa Stadium (Colombo, Sri Lanka) - to host the Women's World Cup 2025. 

The decision to shift all the matches from Chinnaswamy came after it was deemed unfit by the state authorities to hold international games following a stampede at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) IPL-winning victory celebrations which killed 11, including a minor. 

The DY Patil Stadium will host up to five fixtures, which comprises of three league matches, a semifinal and potentially the final for the 13th edition of the Women's Cricket World Cup on 2 November. The tournament starts on September 30.
