In the 13th match of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, India will take on table toppers Australia tomorrow, October 12, at 3 PM IST, at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
India enter the game in the tail of their first loss of the campaign, a tight three-wicket setback to South Africa. Despite the defeat, the hosts are third in the table with two victories from three games. However, the defeat revealed significant tactical flaws, notably the dependence on a five-bowler attack. With skipper Harmanpreet Kaur obliged to bowl part-time spin at a vital juncture, the lack of a true sixth option proved expensive. To prevent a recurrence against Australia’s potent batting lineup, India will need to strengthen their bowling depth. Batting is still an issue. Against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, India’s lower middle order had to step in to save the country after its top order repeatedly failed. India will look to players like Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, and Jemimah Rodrigues for stability and intent as form and confidence at the top fluctuate.
Australia, meanwhile, keep demonstrating their supremacy in the competition. They had a rough start against Pakistan, falling to 76/7, but Beth Mooney’s outstanding century helped orchestrate an incredible comeback and a 107-run victory. The reigning champions, who are currently undefeated and comfortably atop the points table, appear to be in dire form. Having defeated India 2-1 in a three-match ODI series shortly before the tournament, Australia also have the psychological advantage. With seasoned players like Ashleigh Gardner, Ellyse Perry, and Alyssa Healy in peak form, Australia will try to extend their winning streak and solidify their position at the top.
Head-to-Head:
In women’s ODIs, Australia lead India by a wide margin, winning 48 of their 59 meetings while India have only won 11.
