Australia Women (AUS W) are set to face New Zealand Women (NZ W) on October 1, 2025, at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore, in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The Aussies arrive with confidence, having recently secured a 2-1 series win against India, although they did suffer a warm-up loss to England. As the most decorated team in Women’s World Cup history with seven titles, Australia will be keen on beginning their campaign strongly, setting the tone for yet another pursuit of silverware in the prestigious tournament.

In contrast, New Zealand Women enter the competition on a more challenging note, having endured a string of defeats in recent months, including warm-up losses that exposed their inconsistencies. With only one Women’s World Cup title in their history, the White Ferns will be desperate to rediscover their form and turn things around on the big stage. Their primary focus will be on starting the tournament positively against their trans-Tasman rivals. A victory in the opener would not only boost their morale but also provide momentum to push through the competition with renewed determination.
