India vs Australia
Alyssa Healy and Australia women’s national cricket team have become no strangers to high stakes matches. Reigning ODI and T20 champions, and currently ranked number one globally across both formats, Healy is led by coach Shelly Nietschke with an elite squad featuring players like Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney and Ashleigh Gardner – not to mention an outstanding record that has seen them claim two ICC Women’s World Cup championships since 2016.
India and Australia enjoy one of the fiercest rivalries in world cricket. Both teams are notorious for their fierce play on the field and have played each other 304 times; Australia leading with 146 victories. These matches have proven highly competitive ODI contests.
India began their pursuit despite losing the toss, thanks to Phoebe Litchfield’s outstanding batting, who scored an amazing century off just 77 balls!
As ever, she proved an obstacle for Australian bowlers as she picked off loose balls while punishing any short deliveries; her strong opening partnership helped keep their required run rate in check and prevented their innings from disintegrating into a runaway loss.
India were eventually able to exceed their target with nine balls left to spare, thanks to Jemimah Rodrigues’ stunning unbeaten century that helped lead them towards victory – she scored the highest successful chase ever seen at an ODI World Cup and earned her Player of the Match honors as well.
Australia will be disappointed to miss out on adding another International Cricket Council trophy within one year, but will take comfort knowing they have an impressive squad and won’t require major roster changes for the second phase of their campaign.
Still, losing Healy along with key players such as captain Rachael Bowden and top-order batswoman Megan Schutt will be felt keenly by Australia.
ICC Women’s World Cup 2025
The 2025 Women’s World Cup was held from 8-24 October and hosted by India and New Zealand, respectively. Both teams experienced major milestones at this tournament:

New Zealand defeated England by 52 runs during the final of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, reduced to 27 overs per side due to rain.
Jemimah Rodrigues made her One Day International (ODI) debut for India earlier that day and scored an unbeaten 107 run innings to help her team claim victory.
Though disappointing, the one-day international series between India and New Zealand proved fruitful on both sides. They will meet again for another five-match ODI series next week in India.

Key Players
Australia women’s cricket team is one of the most accomplished in history, winning seven ICC Women’s World Cup titles since 1997 and reigning as champions for now.
Experienced players such as Meg Lanning, Rachael Haynes, Jess Jonassen and Annabel Sutherland feature alongside rising talents like Kim Garth, Ashleigh Gardner Grace Harris Phoebe Litchfield Tahlia McGrath Sophie Molineux Beth Mooney Ellyse Perry Megan Schutt and Georgia Wareham who will all make an impressionful performance against opponents with whom they should struggle!
India and Australia’s one-day international (ODI) rivalry has long been fierce. Australia holds an overwhelming advantage when it comes to wins between these teams – 49 wins to 11 for them in their overall series record! They also met twice in World Cup finals with Australia winning both times.
Australia remain competitive despite their loss against New Zealand; their top four ranking ensures a spot in the semifinals where they will meet Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh before playing New Zealand for the title in the final.
Harmanpreet Kaur’s century in India’s opening ODI against England provided a huge boost for their side. Now with over 150 ODI caps under her belt and joining legendary batswomen Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami as leading run scorers, she was named player of the match and will look to carry this form when taking on Australia in Delhi.
As Australia and India meet for what could be a decisive matchup in the ODI World Cup final, both will hope that home ground advantage pays dividends by taking home ground advantage to win their respective tournaments. Australia are hoping for their eighth title while India are hopeful they may finally manage it this time around!
Both teams boast impressive talent, so it will be exciting to witness how they fare in the final ODI of their series. India will be led by captain Smriti Mandhana and will look to right their wrong after being stunned in their World Cup semifinal against Australia earlier this year.
Prediction
After their thrilling win against New Zealand in their initial semi-final, India Women will square off with Australia Women again at this year’s ICC Women’s World Cup.
While Australia have dominated in league stages, India have shown them they can still challenge them and now look poised to make it into the final.
This match will be an intense test of momentum, experience, and talent; whoever comes out victorious will enjoy an edge heading into their match against England later on.
Australia Women got off to a poor start against New Zealand in their innings against them, with openers Phoebe Litchfield and Alyssa Healy succumbing quickly.
Beth Mooney showed her worth by bating throughout her innings and scoring 109 runs off 221 deliveries; Alana King provided strong support with 51 runs off 49 balls as Australia Women posted 221 for 9 in 50 overs.
India Women had an excellent start, led by Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal who each scored 23 runs to lead off. Unfortunately, wickets kept falling regularly until India were reduced to 153 for 7 in their 40th over.
Richa Ghosh then took control and scored an amazing 94 runs off only 77 balls to give India Women an impressive total of 251 for 7 in their 50 overs innings.
Jemimah Rodrigues excelled during India’s run chase against England in 2022 final. She scored her century in knockout run-chase run chase WC final against Nat-Sciver Brunt; making Jemimah Rodrigues instrumental to their efforts chasing down any target they face.
On the bowling front, India will likely employ their same combination of bowlers from their match against New Zealand. Sneh Rana and Kranti Gaud could return if fit; Shafali Verma could replace Pratika Rawal who was injured during that game while Radha Yadav and Amanjot Kaur are other options available to them.
