The seventeenth fixture of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 promises a captivating contest as Australia Women face Bangladesh Women on October 16th at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam. The match begins at 3:00 PM IST, with fans anticipating a high-quality clash under the radiant Vizag sun.
Australia enters the encounter riding a wave of momentum. After turning a precarious 128/5 into 327 against New Zealand to secure an emphatic 89-run win, their campaign gathered pace. A rain-affected fixture against Sri Lanka did little to disrupt their rhythm, as they roared back against Pakistan — recovering from 115/8 through a gritty Mooney–King rescue stand before skittling Pakistan for 114. Their most commanding performance came versus India, where they chased a towering 331-run target with an over to spare, firmly reinforcing their title credentials.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, have been the tournament’s spirited underdogs. They opened with a resounding victory over Pakistan, bowling them out for 129 and easing home by seven wickets. Against England, they pushed the defending champions to the brink — reducing them to 103/6 before Heather Knight’s composure denied an upset. Their next outing against New Zealand proved challenging, bowled out for 127 in pursuit of 227. Yet, they bounced back valiantly versus South Africa, posting 232 and taking the contest to the final over, only to fall short by a narrow margin.
