The hosts India Women (IND-W) will take on New Zealand Women (NZ-W) in Match No. 24 of the Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, on Thursday, October 23.
India Women have had a challenging campaign so far, suffering three consecutive losses and currently standing fourth in the points table. With only one semi-final spot remaining, a win in this match is crucial for the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side's hopes of progressing to the next round.

On the other hand, the White Ferns sit fifth in the table with just one victory, and several of their matches have been affected by rain interruptions. The Sophie Devine-led side, too, will be looking to secure a win to strengthen their chances of reaching the semi-finals. However, the situation for them is also the same, as it is a do-or-die fixture.
