Why M.Chinnaswamy Stadium is replaced by Navi Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium ?
The 2025 Women's World Cup matches moved out of Bengaluru as the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) failed to secure the permission for the matches following the tragic events happened in RCB's victory parade on June 4, resulting in deaths of 11 people and injuries to many due to a stampede. Following the tragic incident Karnataka State Government refused to give safety clearance, while matches in the Maharaja Premier League (Karnataka's Premier T20 League) were also shifted to Mysuru. As a result, both ICC and the BCCI decided to shift the venue from Bengaluru's M.Chinnaswamy Stadium to Navi Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium.
