How Does The Points System Work
In the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, each of the eight teams plays every other team once in a round-robin format during the group stage. Teams earn 2 points for a win, 1 point each for a no result, and 0 points for a loss.
If two or more teams have the same number of points, the tiebreaker used is Net Run Rate (NRR). Net Run Rate is a calculation based on runs scored per over minus runs conceded per over across all matches played.
Format Of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025
In the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 group stage, teams will play against each other only once. After the round-robin matches conclude, the top four teams in the points table qualify for the semi-finals.
The semi-finals are played between the 1st-ranked team and the 4th-ranked team, and between the 2nd-ranked team and the 3rd-ranked team. Winners of both semi-finals will face each other in the final on November 2, to become the champion.
