With the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 starting on September 30 and ending on November 2, everything is in place. In 31 matches, the top eight women’s teams in the world will compete for victory in this 13th edition, which is co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in 2025 is expected to mark a turning point for South African women’s cricket. Following its 2022 semi-final result in New Zealand, the squad has been keen to advance and challenge for its first World Cup trophy.

They have participated in every tournament since their 1997 debut; therefore, they are no strangers to the international scene. However, they have yet to win a World Cup title; their best achievements so far have been semi-final places in 2000, 2017, and 2022. 

South Africa’s performance in 2025 has been inconsistent, with five victories out of 10 games. In September, South Africa travelled to Pakistan for three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) to hone their combinations in preparation for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025. They won the first two games but lost the last match. On October 3, they will play their first game against England.
