India met Australia during the second semifinal of the Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. Australia’s left-handed opening batter, Phoebe Litchfield, started with an aggressive approach inside the first 10 overs of the innings despite losing their captain and right-handed opener, Alyssa Healy, in the first few overs. 

But Phoebe Litchfield was in a different mood with two successive boundaries in the eighth over of the innings. She squeezed Kranti Gaud over the infield before timing the right-arm pacer over the square region for another boundary. Australia managed 72 runs in the first 10 overs, which was their fourth-highest score in this period during the event.

Litchfield advanced down the track to smash Shree Charani for a boundary to celebrate her ninth fifty in Women’s ODIs. She smashed a fine six over the cover against the same bowler before celebrating her century in the blink of an eye with the boundary. That was her maiden century in the World Cup.

Litchfield becomes the third batter to celebrate centuries in ODI World Cup knockouts, along with Karen Rolton against India in the 2005 final in Centurion, while Healy notched up 170 and 129 against England and the West Indies, respectively, in the final and semifinal of the 2022 Women’s World Cup. She smacked Deepti Sharma for two successive sixes and took the aggressive approach with the bat.

Against India, the southpaw has now scored 627 runs in the 50-over format at an average of nearly 70 and a strike rate of 96.61 with two centuries and four half-centuries to her name. Her knock in this semifinal ended with 119 runs in just 93 balls, thanks to 17 boundaries and three sixes.

The knock was enough to give Australia a strong platform with the bat in the knockout clash. It’s also the fastest century in Women’s World Cup knockouts. Australia have raced their way to over 250 in 40 overs and looked set to get themselves beyond the 320-run mark.

India, during the second semifinal of the Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy against Australia, made a strong start with the ball, thanks to the wicket of Alyssa Healy with the new ball. The right-handed batter couldn’t read the seam movement of Kranti Gaud before the play was delayed due to rain. After the break, India lost momentum before Phoebe Litchfield’s windy century.

By the time the left-handed batter was dismissed on 119 runs in just 93 balls with the help of 17 boundaries and three sixes at the team’s score of 180 in the 28th over, Australia looked set to cross the 350-run mark quite comfortably. But it was important for the hosts to put the brakes on the innings. And they needed a special fielding performance.

On the last delivery of the 34th over, Shree Charani put the ball in the slot of Beth Mooney, who, on 24 runs off 22 balls, came down the track and looked to go inside-out over the extra-cover region. She couldn’t get the right elevation with the bat as Jamimah Rodrigues grabbed a fine juggling catch at the edge of the ring to send the batter back.

It was a clinical performance in the field from India, especially in a game where they had been sloppy from the very first over of the game. Their captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, dropped Alyssa Healy in the third over of the innings, while balls have passed between the knees of the fielder for boundaries.

Rodrigues later dismissed Tahila McGrath on 12 runs thanks to a run-out. Shree Charani gets the caught and bowled dismissal against Annabel Sutherland for three runs in six deliveries, while Asleigh Gardner retained her aggressive approach with the bat.

Earlier in the game, Phoebe Litchfield’s special knock of 119 runs in 93 balls with the help of 17 boundaries and three sixes at a strike rate of 127.96 had already helped the tourists to cross the 275-run mark in the 43rd over, and they would hope to get over the 350-run mark in their allotted 50 overs.

What is the pitch report for this match?

The surface is flat and excellent for batters, and we can expect an average score range between 255 and 280 runs.

Cricket Australia has moved the third women's ODI between Australia and India, which was supposed to be a day-night match at Melbourne's Junction Oval on March 1, 2026, to Hobart's Bellerive Oval. The change comes due to delays in installing new floodlights at Junction Oval and the constraints of a tight tour schedule.

The multi-format India tour was arranged around an Australian home window and moved to February–March to accommodate the Women’s Premier League (WPL) in January and the ODI World Cup later in the year. The original itinerary included three T20Is in mid-February, three ODIs on February 24, 27, and March 1, followed by a day-night Test in Perth in early March. However, Junction Oval’s new floodlights will not be ready in time, with installation, commissioning, and spectator access issues making a day-night international unsafe and impractical on the scheduled date.

With just one day between the second and third ODIs, organizers concluded that switching the March 1 fixture to a daytime start was not feasible. Cricket Australia’s head of operations, Peter Roach, expressed disappointment at losing a Melbourne international, saying, “We are disappointed we have had to move this match from Junction Oval and that there will be no women's international match in Melbourne this season. We anticipated the Junction Oval lights would be installed several weeks before this fixture and were looking forward to celebrating the first international match under lights at the ground.”

Hobart to Host Back-to-Back ODIs

Hobart will now host back-to-back ODIs in the series, simplifying travel and accommodation logistics for teams, broadcasters, and officials. Cricket Australia has also confirmed that fans who purchased tickets for the Junction Oval fixture will receive refunds.

Junction Oval’s calendar will remain busy, hosting WBBL fixtures for Melbourne Stars and Renegades and other domestic daytime cricket, while the lights installation project continues. The updated schedule for India Women’s tour of Australia 2026 is:

• February 15 – 1st T20I – Sydney
• February 19 – 2nd T20I – Canberra
• February 21 – 3rd T20I – Adelaide
• February 24 – 1st ODI – Brisbane
• February 27 – 2nd ODI – Hobart
• March 1 – 3rd ODI – Hobart
• March 6-9 – Test Match – Perth

The series is wrapped up and India will feel that they have some concerns to look at. They were far from competitive in both games while Australia's succession planning is off to a good start. Australia are looking promising for the future but India will be a touch nervous with stars struggling to get going.

Georgia Voll

Georgia Voll is the new kid on the block. Two games into the series she has looked a promising batter. She has a wide range of shots, the aggression and with her Australia certainly have a successor on hand.

Match Prediction: Australia Will Win The Match

AUS-W vs IND-W Match Preview

The series was decided 2-0 in favor of Australia, with the third WODI match scheduled for December 11 at the WACA in Perth. Since the beginning of the three-match ODI series, the two teams have had a one-sided battle. Australian women have come down hard on Indian women, leaving tourists with no respite. With many high-profile players out of form toward a star-studded Australian side, India Women's series has been one to forget. It is now a matter of national pride for India's women to avoid an embarrassing whitewash at the hands of a dominant Australian team.

Topmost Picks for AUS-W vs IND-W Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – India

• Smriti Mandhana – Mandhana’s recent record against Australia isn’t the best. She has scored 29 or more runs in only 2 of her last 6 innings against them. As she bats on another difficult track, her struggles are likely to continue.
• Renuka Thakur – Renuka Thakur had a disappointing outing, going for runs and collecting just 1 wicket in the whole match.

Top Picks – Australia

• Georgia Voll – Her international debut in this series has emulated her incredible domestic performances and scored a brilliant century to help Australia put up its highest ODI score against India.
• Megan Schutt – Schutt’s devastating spell of 5-19 floored India for 100.

AUS-W vs IND-W Probable Winners:

In this series, Australian women appear to be in lethal form, swarming tourists. They have barely missed a beat and are brimming with confidence after a 122-run victory in Brisbane that was decidedly one-sided. Australia Women have already swept India at home earlier this year, and on the heels of five consecutive ODI victories, we expect them to dominate India Women and aim for a 3-0 ODI series sweep. Considering the team combination, Australia-W is expected to win this match.

AUS-W vs IND-W, Semi Final-I Preview

Excitement is sky-high for the semi-final matchup in the T20 Women’s World Cup with India taking on Australia. The winner of this game will face the victor of South Africa vs. England in the Final.

Topmost Picks for AUS-W vs IND-W Dream11 Prediction, Semi Final-I:

Top Picks – Australia-W

• Alyssa Healy – The opener will come back into the team full of confidence with a batting average of 73.00 from her three innings in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 so far.

• Megan Schutt – The 30 year old is the joint top wicket taker in the tournament. She picked up the wicket of middle-order batter Delmi Tucker in Match 15.

Top Picks – India-W

• Smriti Mandhana – Only England Women’s Nat Sciver has scored more runs than India Women’s opener. She hit nine fours and three sixes in the game against Ireland Women.

• Renuka Singh – the pace bowler is one of only two players to have taken a 5-wicket haul in the tournament. She has a strike-rate of 11.1 across the last four games.

Richa Ghosh, Meg Lanning, Smriti Mandhana(C), Tahlia McGrath, Shafali Verma, Ellyse Perry(VC), Ashleigh Gardner, Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar, Megan Schutt, Renuka Singh

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Ashleigh Gardner, Smriti Mandhana

Vice-captain – Deepti Sharma, Ellyse Perry

Wicketkeeper – Beth Mooney

AUS-W vs IND-W Semi Final-I Probable Winners:

Not only have Australia Women been the most impressive side in the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup so far, they also have an excellent record over India Women. India Women would be under pressure. Their record against Australia Women hasn’t been something to take pride in. Their fast-bowling attack is weaker, a major problem for the team in these bowling conditions. However, India Women did beat them in the group stage in the last T20 World Cup and also beat them in a super-over last year. Considering the team combination, Australia-W is expected to win this match.

The Semi-Finalists gear up for what seems like a rather predicted scenario with Australia, England, India and South Africa making the top four. Australia come in as clear favorites and will be backed to give India another hiding as they did when they met in Melbourne three years ago.

India though will remember that encounter very well and will want to avoid such a scenario. Like that incident, the line-up remains pretty strong. Renuka Singh in particular enjoyed their encounter in the Commonwealth games. Performance in the big-stage though has been a concern and could be where India struggle in the upcoming game.

AUS-W vs IND-W Key Players

Renuka Singh

If anyone can put pressure on the Australians it will be Renuka Singh. She had them under pressure in their group stage back in the Commonwealth game and has made it a habit of picking up early wickets. She has evolved into a really strong wicket-taker and with a really deep batting line-up against her, India will want Renuka Singh to make early inroads.

Beth Moony

A duck in the previous game has Beth Mooney get off to a bad start to this World Cup. She is normally very consistent at the top and a good innings will extend the fear factor in a dominating Australian line-up.

AUS-W vs IND-W Match Tips

Australia are as clinical as ever in this tournament. Their line-up, depth and professionalism has been spot on. India, known to struggle in pressure games definitely come in as underdogs and will have to really dig deep to push the Australians in the upcoming game.

Match Prediction: Australia Will Win the Match
