Hello cricket fans! July 2025 looks to be a fantastic month of women’s international cricket. Whether you live and breathe cricket, or just occasionally watch, there is an electricity in the air: rivalries, emerging talent, and moments you will remember forever. Below is the lowdown on must-see fixtures, and a few stories, tenuous analogies, and some light banter along the way.
July at a Glance
Here’s what’s going down this month:
- July 5–10: Australia Women vs England Women – 3‑Match ODI Series in Brisbane
- July 8–12: South Africa Women vs Pakistan Women – T20Is in Cape Town
- July 15–20: India Women vs New Zealand Women – 5‑Match T20I Series in Chennai
- July 22–25: West Indies Women vs Sri Lanka Women – T20Is in Bridgetown
Put these dates in your diary—these aren’t just games; these are rides of emotion, full stop.
Australia vs England (ODIs, July 5–10)
What’s the Hype?
These two sides have played each other many times, but there is always something special about these series (like watching your best friend and biggest rival in the NBA Finals!?!). There will always be drama, passion, and pride to be found in the women’s game.
Points of Interest
- Meg Lanning’s Leadership Style: She is almost a coach/player combination and she’s going to direct from the front.
- Charlotte Dean’s Emergence: Is she going to be the next star all-rounder for Australia?
- England’s New Approach: England have had a mixed year with performing, but they could sneak up on us with some new energy and aggression.
Emotion of the Game
This series will swing on one catch or mis‑fired over or brilliant scoop shot. You will laugh, shout “no way!” and possibly shed a tear. Do you feel me?
South Africa vs Pakistan (T20Is, July 8–12)
Why it Stands Out
It is South Africa’s firebrand seam bowling, against Pakistan’s spinning artistry. Balance it out: pace versus finesse. A bit like driving a Ferrari against a Lamborghini—they are different driving experiences, but equally thrilling!
What to Watch
- Shabnim Ismail’s Speed: She charges in like a freight train!
- Nahida Khan’s Spin: Look how she can flight the ball and her variation in loop is remarkable!
- Stars in the Making: These are the moments when people you have never heard of before emerge as the names you will remember for the next 20 years.
India vs New Zealand (T20Is, July 15–20)
Why It Will Tug at Your Heart Strings
India and New Zealand offer two different styles; India’s flamboyance and New Zealand’s doggedness—think the contrasting styles of Bollywood and indie-rock! Dynamic, capricious, and plenty of spice.
What Is On The Line
- Smriti Mandhana vs Amelia Kerr: What a matchup! The solidity of technique meets brute force.
- Pace Against Swing: India vs NZ—it’ll be worth hammering refresh.
- Big Debuts: Chennai is the stage—who will impress?
Your Preparatory Encounters
If you’re home, or have fond memories of Chepauk Stadium, you’ll feel goosebumps watching these matches. It’s home-ground happiness and family vibes, stadium eruptions and fun at full volume for everyone.
West Indies vs Sri Lanka (T20Is, July 22–25)
What Makes It Unmissable
We are talking about two regions with spirit and passion. Expect fireworks!! Huge sixes and great fielding! You will be transported to the sun, fun and music of the Caribbean even if it rains.
What To Look Out For
- The Power of Hayley Matthews? She could be the future-allrounder.
- The Unpredictability of Sri Lankan Spin: Smart, gritty and wily spinners—wily similar to Wichan.
- Beach-Side Vibes! You will have ambient music, the sound of the waves, and reggae—what a mood.
Emotions & Vibes
This is that summer moment you long for even at summer’s end. Hot, fun, quirky, a bit of a mess but completely loveable.
Personal Memory & Shared Moment
I saw a game in Chennai in 2018—my first women’s match ever. I walked in thinking “I’ll just hang.” I walked out shouting, “Boundary!” and hugging strangers. Women’s cricket just connects. It punches well above its weight class on energy, emotion and memory.
Why Should You Care (Even If You’re Not A Superfan)
- Future Stars: The many T20 stars we saw this summer will be Test legends by 2030.
- Tactics & Skills: These matches are like mini-chess boards; spin versus pace, flight versus aggression.
- Fantasy Gold: Knowing who is on fire can be the difference of winning your fantasy league or being the bottom of the ladder.
A Little Fun
Have you noticed the women’s team sometimes fields like they’ve auditioned for Cirque du Soleil? Honestly those dives get your heart rate to pink lightspeed.
