The 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier was an international women's cricket tournament held in Pakistan in April 2025.[1][2][3] The tournament served as the final stage of the qualification process for the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup scheduled to be held in India.[4] The tournament was the sixth edition of the Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier, with the fixtures played as One Day International matches.[5][6]
The ICC announced the format of the qualifier in 2022. The bottom four teams (7th–10th) from the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship were joined by two other teams selected according to the Women's ODI Team Rankings in a 6-team tournament.[7]
Pakistan won the qualifier. Bangladesh also qualified for the World Cup, after finishing ahead of the West Indies by a net run rate margin of just 0.013.[8][9]
