The stage is set for a thrilling encounter as India Women take on Australia Women in the second semifinal of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. The match will be played on Thursday, October 30, at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, starting at 3:00 PM IST.
Australia, led by Alyssa Healy, have been unbeatable so far in the tournament, topping the points table with 13 points from seven matches. On the other hand, Harmanpreet Kaur’s India secured a place in the semifinals with seven points, keeping their knockout hopes alive till the final group game.
For India, this semifinal is nothing short of a final. The team will need both luck and top-class performances to overcome the mighty Aussies, who defeated them by three wickets in the group stage earlier.
Adding to India’s challenge, opening batter Pratika Rawal has been ruled out due to injury. Her place in the squad has been taken by Shafali Verma, who returns to the national side after a year. Fans will be eager to see whether she makes it to the playing XI in this crucial clash.
Head-to-Head Record
The numbers clearly favour Australia — out of 60 ODIs played between the two teams, Australia have won 49, while India have managed 11 victories. Despite the odds, the Indian side has shown fighting spirit throughout the tournament, and fans are hopeful for a turnaround on home soil.
