India Women Cricket Schedule 2026-27: Fixtures & Results

The India Women cricket schedule for 2026-27 currently contains 11 guaranteed upcoming matches: three Women’s Asia Cup group games, one Asian Games quarter-final and seven internationals in South Africa.

India Women’s next match is against Thailand Women at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on 30 August 2026 at 7:30 p.m. PKT. The India vs Thailand viewing guide has the legal TV and streaming options, weather and official squads. Hong Kong, China follows on 3 September and Pakistan on 5 September.

India Women’s confirmed upcoming assignments

Assignment	Dates	Guaranteed matches	Formats	Status
ACC Women’s T20 Asia Cup	30 August-5 September 2026	3 group matches	T20I	Confirmed; knockouts conditional

India Women tour of South Africa	9-30 December 2026	7	1 Test, 3 ODIs, 3 T20Is	Revised dates, venues and starts confirmed

Possible semi-finals and finals are not included in the 11. They become India fixtures only after the team qualifies and the bracket assigns the match.

Women’s Asia Cup group schedule

India is in Group A with Thailand, Hong Kong, China and Pakistan. All three group matches will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium at 7:30 p.m. PKT:

• 30 August: India Women vs Thailand Women
• 3 September: India Women vs Hong Kong, China Women
• 5 September: India Women vs Pakistan Women

The top two teams in each group advance to the semi-finals on 10 and 11 September. The final is scheduled for 13 September. Those event dates are useful planning information, but they are not guaranteed India matches.

The Pakistan Women’s schedule shares the 5 September record and applies the same qualification rule, so the rivalry fixture does not drift between team calendars.

India begins its Asian Games defence against Japan

India plays hosts Japan at Korogi Athletic Park in Aichi on 18 September at 2:00 p.m. JST, which is 10:00 a.m. PKT. The Japan Cricket Association’s current event listing controls this row.

That detail matters because some recently indexed articles still show 17 September. JCA’s schedule lists Bangladesh-China and Pakistan-Thailand on 17 September, then Sri Lanka-Malaysia and India-Japan on 18 September. SportsMuntra will keep the 18 September date unless JCA or the organizer publishes another revision.

India is the defending Asian Games champion. A semi-final on 20 September and a medal match on 22 September are possible, but neither is counted before the quarter-final result supplies India’s next opponent.

Revised South Africa tour: seven matches in December

The ICC published a revised itinerary on 7 August, adding three T20Is to the tour. Cricket South Africa’s current fixture listing also supplies the official starts. India will now play South Africa Women across all three formats:

• 9-12 December: one Test at St George’s Park, Gqeberha, 1 p.m. PKT
• 16 December: first ODI at Boland Park, Paarl, 1 p.m. PKT
• 19 December: second ODI at Newlands, Cape Town, 5 p.m. PKT
• 22 December: third ODI at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein, 5 p.m. PKT
• 26 December: first T20I at Willowmoore Park, Benoni, 9 p.m. PKT
• 29 and 30 December: second and third T20Is at NWC Oval, Potchefstroom, 9 p.m. PKT

The later CSA listing confirms the starts, so the table no longer relies on an aggregator’s conversion or an unannounced-time placeholder.

The ODIs are part of the 2025-29 ICC Women’s Championship. The ODI cricket guide explains the 50-over format, while the Test cricket guide covers the multi-day match that opens the tour.

India’s Champions Trophy place

The ICC named India among the five ranking teams due to join host Sri Lanka at the Women’s Champions Trophy from 14 to 28 February 2027. The South Africa T20Is at the end of December are part of India’s preparation for that event.

The event does not add exact rows to this schedule yet. The ICC still needs to publish India’s opponents, match dates, start times and grounds.

Why some South Africa schedules disagree

An older itinerary remains visible on several schedule feeds, including a December four-match block with different dates and grounds. The ICC’s 7 August release is later and explicitly calls the seven-match program revised.

SportsMuntra therefore uses 9-30 December and the seven venues/dates in that release. It does not preserve the superseded rows as tentative matches because the controlling source has replaced them.

Latest result: a 270-run Test win at Lord’s

India beat England by 270 runs on 13 July in the first Women’s Test played at Lord’s. It was India’s second-largest Women’s Test victory by runs.

That result follows India’s five-match T20 World Cup group campaign: wins over Pakistan, the Netherlands and Bangladesh, and losses to South Africa and Australia. The six latest matches appear in Recent results below. The T20 World Cup winners list keeps the tournament outcome separate from India’s group record.

Times are shown in PKT

The Asia Cup matches convert 6:30 p.m. Dubai time to 7:30 p.m. PKT. India-Japan converts 2:00 p.m. JST to 10:00 a.m. PKT. South Africa is three hours behind Pakistan, so the official 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. SAST starts appear as 1 p.m., 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. PKT.

The cricket abbreviations guide explains IND-W, ODI, T20I, TBC and TBD. It also explains why a confirmed date can still have an unannounced start time.

What this schedule excludes

This page covers the senior India women’s international team. It excludes India Women A, under-19s, domestic cricket, the Women’s Premier League, warm-ups, India Men and unofficial matches.

The India men’s team hub and men’s schedule remain separate. That prevents an India A tour or men’s home series from appearing as India Women’s next match.
