The twenty-third fixture of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 sets the stage for a blockbuster showdown as Australia Women take on England Women on October 22nd at the Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. The action kicks off at 3:00 PM IST, promising an electrifying contest between two powerhouses of women’s cricket who share one of the sport’s most storied rivalries.

Australia enters this clash in imperious form, brimming with confidence and rhythm. Their campaign began with a commanding 89-run triumph over New Zealand, followed by a brief rain-hit game against Sri Lanka that hardly broke their momentum. Against Pakistan, the Aussies displayed characteristic grit — recovering from 115/8 through a defiant Mooney–King partnership before rolling Pakistan out for 114. Their most impressive statement came against India, chasing down 331 with an over to spare, before thrashing Bangladesh by 10 wickets to cement their status as title favourites.
England, meanwhile, have shown both dominance and determination. They opened their campaign with a 10-wicket demolition of South Africa, bowling them out for a mere 69. A tense chase against Bangladesh tested their nerves, but Heather Knight’s composure steered them to victory. They then registered a comprehensive 89-run win over Sri Lanka, before rain denied a result against Pakistan. Their thrilling 4-run win over India in Indore underlined their resilience and ability to thrive under pressure — a trait that will be vital against their fiercest rivals.
