After a setback against South Africa, the India Women's team is locking horns against Australia (IND-W vs AUS-W), another strong team in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup 2025. India Women started their campaign with wins over Sri Lanka and Pakistan, but in a scrapy manner.
The top order of the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team is yet to be clicked properly. Against the strong bowling line-up of Australia, the top order of India, along with the opening pair, will be tested heavily. Kim Garth and Megan Schutt will have a big role to play against the misfiring Indian top order. Despite India's defeat against South Africa, there are positive notes for them.
One is obviously the young keeper-batter Richa Ghosh, who produced a rescue act under pressure against South Africa. So far, with the ball, Deepti Sharma proved most effective among the Indian bowlers, taking 7 wickets. She has to play a big role against Alyssa Healy's Australia. In-form Beth Mooney will again try to wreak havoc against the opposition's bowling line-up.
