What Are the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup Standings for Pakistan and Other Key Teams?
Pakistan’s campaign
Pakistan finished the group stage without a single win. Their three points came entirely from no-result matches, all of which occurred at Colombo’s rain-affected R. Premadasa Stadium. The most notable was the 18 October washout against New Zealand, which kept both teams stuck on low points. According to Wisden, after that match Pakistan had 2 points from 5 games, with a net run rate of −1.887.
Australia’s dominance
Australia lived up to billing as defending champions. They won 6 of their 7 group matches, with only one no-result (against Sri Lanka). Their net run rate of +2.102 was the best in the tournament. However, they were stunned by India in the semi-finals, ending their title defence.
India’s home run
India, playing as co-hosts, started with a narrow win against Sri Lanka on 30 September, then beat Pakistan on 5 October in Colombo. Losses to England and Australia kept them in the middle of the table. A late win against New Zealand pushed them to 7 points, enough to claim fourth place on net run rate over Sri Lanka. India then beat Australia in the semi-finals and South Africa in the final to win their maiden World Cup title.
Australia 9 pts (5 matches), South Africa 8 pts (5 matches), England 7 pts (4 matches), India 4 pts (4 matches), New Zealand 4 pts (5 matches), Sri Lanka 2 pts (5 matches), Pakistan 2 pts (5 matches), Bangladesh 2 pts (4 matches). Source: Wisden.
What Is the Format of the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup and When Is the Final?
Tournament structure
The 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup was the 13th edition and the last to feature eight teams in a single round-robin group stage. Each of the eight teams played seven group matches. The top four advanced to the semi-finals.
Qualification path
Five teams qualified through the 2022–2025 ICC Women’s Championship: Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka. India qualified automatically as host. The remaining two spots came from the 2025 Qualifier, which Bangladesh and Pakistan won.
Key dates

How Are the Points and Standings Calculated in the 2025 Women’s World Cup?
The points system for the 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup follows standard ODI rules. A win earns 2 points, a tie or no-result (NR) awards 1 point each, and a loss gives 0. If teams finish level on points, net run rate (NRR) is used as the primary tiebreaker.
Net Run Rate measures the average runs scored per over minus the average runs conceded per over. A positive NRR indicates a team scores faster than it concedes. In the 2025 group stage, India’s +0.628 NRR was the reason they advanced over Sri Lanka (−1.035) despite both having 5 points at one stage.
The 2025 edition was an ODI (50 overs per side) World Cup. This is different from the T20 World Cup, which uses a 20-over format and has separate rankings and qualification pathways. The points calculation remains the same across both formats.
