Cricket Papua New Guinea (CPNG) will be hosting the Women’s National team of United Arab Emirates (UAE) for a four (4)-match One-day International series (with ICC team ranking points) from October 13th – 19th, 2025 at the Amini Park ground in Port Moresby. This tour follows the successful tour of UAE Women in Zimbabwe, where they played their first ever ODI matches, and tied the four (4)-match series 2-2.
PNG Women’s team, also known as the “Lewas”, will be playing ODI cricket for the first time since September 2025, when they last played against Netherlands. The Women’s team retained their ODI status on 01st May 2025 for the upcoming ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup cycle of 2026-2029. These matches will be the first Women’s ODI matches to take place at the Amini Park ground, which doesn’t get to host much International cricket (with teams not from ICC EAP region) outside of hosting regional competitions in the Pacific region.
PNG Lewas have a busy period coming up with tours to Thailand in November 2025 for the ICC Women’s Emerging Nations Trophy, and then the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Global Qualifier in Nepal in January/February.
