India will take on Australia on Sunday, October 12, in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup 2025 tournament. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side suffered their first defeat in the showpiece event against South Africa, and would be eager to bounce back to winning ways against a team that is heavily billed as the favorite to win their eighth World Cup. Australia has played three games, won two, with the game against Sri Lanka being washed away due to rain.
The defending champions were given a mighty scare by Pakistan before Beth Mooney's terrific century bailed them from the depths of 77 for 7. In the game against New Zealand, Australia's top-order yet again failed, but this time, Ash Gardner came to the rescue. It is various players stepping up at crucial junctures that make them the most dangerous side. Writing off Australia at any moment in the game is absolutely foolhardy. India needs to be at their A game to beat them, just as they did in the 2017 World Cup semi-final match.
IND-W vs AUS-W: Match Preview
India's top-order batters have failed to get going in the two matches against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Smriti Mandhana has surprisingly not been amongst the runs, and that has hurt the team. Even skipper Harmanpreet is short of runs. The veterans would be keen to get back to run-scoring ways sooner rather than later, as the race to the semis is heating up. India has fate in their hands for now. However, any more slip-ups could change that equation.
In the 2022 World Cup, the Women in Blue won four games but missed out on the semi-final spot. This time, the team would surely not want to enter that territory. On the other hand, Australia would expect the top-order to be among the runs. Skipper Alyssa Healy has had quite a few starts, but has failed to convert those into big scores. The keeper-batter would be eager to be back at run-scoring ways and help Australia achieve a fast start.
