ICC Women’s Results: 7 Exciting Things You Need to Know
Keeping up with results across international women’s cricket means following a genuinely busy calendar — bilateral series, ICC tournaments and three major domestic leagues all producing outcomes worth knowing about throughout the year. Here’s a look at the major results shaping the current era of the sport, plus where to check outcomes as new matches are completed.
The Results That Have Defined 2025-26
India won their first-ever ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in November 2025, beating South Africa by 52 runs in the final at Navi Mumbai — a genuinely historic result after two previous runner-up finishes across the tournament’s history. We’ve covered that title win in full in our India Women team guide.
Australia won the 2026 T20 World Cup, beating hosts England in the final at Lord’s to claim a seventh title in the format — extending their record as the most successful nation in the sport’s history across both World Cup formats combined. Our Australia Women guide covers that campaign in detail.
Sri Lanka won the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup, beating India in the final to end a long run of India-Pakistan dominance in that tournament — one of the more significant upsets in recent regional cricket history.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the 2026 WPL final, beating Delhi Capitals to claim their second title in four seasons, with captain Smriti Mandhana named Player of the Match. Our WPL guide covers every season’s result in full.
Hobart Hurricanes won their first WBBL title in the 2025-26 season, beating Perth Scorchers by eight wickets in the final. Full season-by-season results are covered in our WBBL guide.
Why Results Matter Beyond the Scoreline
A single result rarely tells the whole story in women’s cricket right now, given how tightly bunched the top of the rankings has become. South Africa, for instance, have lost three ICC finals in as many years but remain one of the form teams in the sport — their results in those specific matches don’t reflect a team in decline, but rather a genuinely elite side that’s fallen agonisingly short at the very last stage each time. Understanding the context behind a result — the opposition faced, the stage of the tournament, the conditions — is usually more useful than the bare scoreline alone.
How to Track Results as They Happen
For team-specific results and how they fit into a nation’s broader form, our guides to India Women, England Women, South Africa Women and Pakistan Women cover recent series outcomes in context. Our news section covers match reports as results come in across every major series and tournament, and our rankings page shows how the latest results have shifted the official standings.
For live scores while a match is actually in progress, our ICC Women’s Live Score guide points you toward the best real-time sources, since results coverage like this page is generally most useful once a match has concluded.
