The ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2025 heats up as Pakistan Women take on the West Indies in a contest loaded with stakes, pressure, and implications for this year’s global showpiece. With qualification on the line, both teams will be desperate to come out on top in Lahore.
Pakistan enters this clash with confidence and rhythm, having made a strong start to their qualifying campaign with convincing victories over Ireland and Scotland. For the West Indies, the journey has been more complicated. After a surprise defeat to Scotland and a narrow win over Ireland, they are almost in must-win territory to keep their hopes of a World Cup berth alive.
The fixture promises a battle between contrasting styles — Pakistan’s structured, methodical approach led by Fatima Sana and Aliya Riaz against the West Indies’ flair and firepower, headlined by Hayley Matthews. But when the first ball is bowled, reputation will matter less than execution.
Cricket fans hoping to watch this high-stakes encounter live will need to turn to digital platforms, as there will be no cable television broadcast of the match in Pakistan. The ICC is offering live streaming through official digital channels, available via subscription-based services.
Fans in Pakistan can tune in through Tapmad at 2:PM (PST) to catch the action on a live stream.

With both teams eyeing progression, this fixture could be pivotal in shaping the tournament narrative. A win for Pakistan would solidify their position as the leading contenders to join the likes of Australia, England, India, South Africa, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka — the six teams already qualified for the ICC Women’s World Cup.
For the West Indies, however, it’s a test of resilience and character. Another slip-up could leave their campaign hanging by a thread.
All eyes now turn to Lahore, where Pakistan and West Indies will battle not just for points, but for the path to 2025’s biggest stage in women’s cricket.
