How to Watch: ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifiers in Pakistan

The road to the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 reaches its final checkpoint in Lahore as the Women’s World Cup Qualifiers begin tomorrow. For six teams, this is the last chance to secure a coveted ticket to the showpiece event in India later this year.

Held entirely in Pakistan’s cricketing heartland, Lahore, the Women’s World Cup Qualifier promises a high-stakes battle between Bangladesh, Ireland, Pakistan, West Indies, Scotland, and Thailand—with only two spots at the main event up for grabs.

Here’s how you can catch the action from the comfort of your home, or feel free to watch the games at Gaddafi Stadium for free.

How to Watch ICC Women’s Qualifiers in Pakistan:

The tournament will coincide with two of the biggest contemporary cricketing leagues in the world, the PSL and IPL, so fans may have trouble catching the games live on cable networks. PTV Sports and Ten Sports are expected to broadcast the games on cable, but the majority of their focus is likely to shift to PSL coverage.

However, streaming options will alleviate these concerns, with Tapmad offering live streaming of every single fixture of the tournament.

Meanwhile, the ICC’s very own website and ESPNCricinfo will provide ball-by-ball details of the games.

The ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifiers will determine the two final teams that will book their tickets to India for later this year. For Bangladesh and West Indies, the expectation is qualification—anything less would be a disappointment given their pedigree and squad strength.

Pakistan, as hosts, have the conditions in their favor but arrive at this tournament with patchy recent form and a young captain, Fatima Sana, leading the side.

Ireland will hope to break a near two-decade World Cup drought, while Scotland and Thailand—the outsiders—dream of scripting a fairytale run into their first-ever ODI World Cup.

With history on the line, rising stars on show, and the dream of a World Cup appearance driving every delivery, this tournament deserves the spotlight it is expected to get.
