The 13th fixture of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 promises a blockbuster encounter as India Women take on Australia Women on October 12th at the Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam. The match begins at 3:00 PM IST, setting the stage for a high-octane battle between India’s aggressive intent and Australia’s tactical brilliance.
India have showcased commendable consistency throughout the tournament, blending youthful energy with seasoned experience. They started with a commanding win over Sri Lanka, posting a DLS-adjusted 271 before bundling out their opponents for 211 to register a 59-run victory. In their second match against Pakistan, India displayed complete control — putting 247 on board and bowling out their arch-rivals for 159 to clinch an 88-run win. However, their unbeaten run came to an end against South Africa, who chased down 251 in a thrilling finish to hand India a narrow 3-wicket defeat.
Australia, meanwhile, have exhibited their trademark resilience and depth. They began their campaign against New Zealand with a remarkable comeback, recovering from 128/5 to post 327, powered by Ashleigh Gardner’s counterattacking masterclass, and secured an 89-run win. Their fixture against Sri Lanka was washed out due to rain, forcing both sides to share points. In their next match against Pakistan, they were in deep trouble at 115/8 before Beth Mooney and Alana King guided them to 221/9. The bowlers then dismantled Pakistan for 114, sealing a 107-run victory.
