The 33rd T20 match of WBBL 2025 between Perth Scorchers Women and Melbourne Renegades Women will take place at Bellerive Oval, Hobart on Monday. Perth Scorchers Women were defeated by Hobart Hurricanes Women by a 7-wicket margin in their last game. The team had some runs on the board, but a poor bowling performance led to their loss. Devine hopes for her team to come back strong and draw inspiration from their past performances against the Renegades Women.

On the other hand,  the Melbourne Renegades Women suffered a big loss, going down by 45 runs. Their previous two matches have been lost, including one against the Perth Scorchers. Wareham is anticipating a strong comeback from her players in this game.

After losing the season opener, the Perth Scorchers Women's team came back strong in their last game. They defeated the Brisbane Heat Women by 23 runs in the last game. It was a clinical display from their batters and bowlers that secured them the win.

On the other hand, the Melbourne Stars Women's team will be upset to have to share points with the Adelaide Strikers Women's team in the last game. They had put up a big score on the board and started well with the ball, only for poor weather to stop play.

<![CDATA[Beth Mooney hilariously responds to Jemimah Rodrigues’ semifinal banter during WBBL 2025]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/beth-mooney-hilariously-responds-to-jemimah-rodrigues-semifinal-banter-during-wbbl-2025/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/beth-mooney-hilariously-responds-to-jemimah-rodrigues-semifinal-banter-during-wbbl-2025/ Mon, 10 Nov 2025 13:33:10 GMT

Beth Mooney, the Australian wicketkeeper-batter, offered a hilarious reply to Jemimah Rodrigues’ World Cup semifinal joke, during the first weekend of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) in 2025. The fun banter between the two star players, added some enjoyable flavour to the WBBL season, after India’s famous victory against Australia in the semifinal of the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup.

In the second semifinal of the World Cup last month, Rodrigues played a fantastic innings of 127 not out, leading India to an improbable chase of 339 runs, and eliminating the defending champion Australia from the tournament. Before the WBBL season opener in Brisbane, Rodrigues, who is now playing for Brisbane Heat, made a joke that she was worried about whether Australian authorities will let her in to the country based on her semifinal innings.

The jokes quickly circulated, amusing fans and even players. Later that day, once Mooney turned up to play for the Perth Scorchers at the WACA, she was asked about Jemimah's humorous comments during a live interview. The Australian star couldn't resist putting her own little spin on her story with a one-liner – and the room erupted with laughter.

“Luckily, immigration let me in,” Mooney said.

In response to Jemimah Rodrigues’ lighthearted suggestion that she wasn't going to be allowed into the country because the Indian team had defeated Australia, Mooney joked that it was actually Rodrigues who shouldn't worry, but rather the Australian team after being eliminated from the World Cup. "We heard Jemi say earlier that she was worried they weren’t going to let her into the country because they beat us, but I actually thought they weren’t going to let us back in for losing the World Cup. Luckily for me, immigration let me in,” Mooney said on the microphone.

This exchange was a reminder that, despite being fierce competitors on the field, Indian and Australian cricketers share a great deal of friendly respect and camaraderie. There was a lot to celebrate as the WBBL 2025 season got under way in Brisbane. Cricket fans were not just celebrating an exciting match, but were also celebrating the spirit of friendly sport and humor, which Jemimah Rodrigues and Beth Mooney both continue to bring to the game.

<![CDATA[[WATCH] Jamimah Rodrigues’ special catch dismisses Beth Mooney during Women’s World Cup 2025 semifinal]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-jamimah-rodrigues-special-catch-dismisses-beth-mooney-during-women-s-world-cup-2025-semifinal/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-jamimah-rodrigues-special-catch-dismisses-beth-mooney-during-women-s-world-cup-2025-semifinal/ Thu, 30 Oct 2025 18:17:21 GMT

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.

<![CDATA[Top 3 reasons why Pakistan-W lost to Australia-W in the Women's World Cup 2025 match 9]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/top-3-reasons-why-pakistan-w-lost-to-australia-w-in-the-women-s-world-cup-2025-match-9/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/top-3-reasons-why-pakistan-w-lost-to-australia-w-in-the-women-s-world-cup-2025-match-9/ Wed, 08 Oct 2025 22:48:54 GMT

Australia Women beat Pakistan Women by 107 runs in Match 9 of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on October 8, 2025. It was an eventful match with ups and downs, in which Australia made a strong comeback after a weak beginning. Batting first, they were at 76/7 but with Beth Mooney's stunning innings of 109 runs off 114 balls. She was ably assisted by Alana King, who remained unbeaten on 51 off 49 balls. They assisted Australia in posting a healthy total of 221/9 in 50 overs.

Pakistan made a solid start to the game with the ball, and their bowlers caused trouble for the Australian top order. Nashra Sandhu was the standout performer, taking 3 wickets for 37 runs, while Fatima Sana and Sadia Iqbal also bowled tightly. However, Pakistan failed to finish the job as Mooney and King built a record ninth-wicket partnership of 106 runs. This late recovery completely changed the momentum of the match in Australia’s favour.

Chasing 222 runs, Pakistan’s batting lineup collapsed under pressure. They lost five wickets for just 31 runs inside nine overs and never recovered. Sidra Amin fought hard with 35 runs, but no other batter stayed long enough at the crease. Australia's fast bowlers, Kim Garth (3/14), Megan Schutt (2/25), and Annabel Sutherland (2/15), bowled with good control and discipline and ensured that Pakistan could never get back into the match. This defeat was Pakistan's third consecutive loss, and Australia's second victory in a row propelled them to the highest point in the points table. Below are the main reasons for the Pakistan Women defeat:

1. Lack of Batting Partnerships

The Pakistan side struggled to build partnerships when chasing. After losing early wickets, none of the batters were able to settle in or support Sidra Amin. Incorrect shot selection and pressure on the bowlers by Australia resulted in a rapid downfall.

2. Failure to Finish Australia’s Innings

Pakistan had the excellent opportunity to get Australia out cheaply when they were 76/7. But their bowlers failed to capitalize on that advantage. The impact of Beth Mooney and Alana King's 106-run partnership for the ninth wicket turned the match on its head and gave Australia a considerable total to defend from that point onward.

3. Poor Fielding from Pakistan Players

Pakistan's fielding also dropped off during the last 20 overs. Fatima Sana admitted that the team's energy dropped, which affected their standard of play. Missed opportunities and slow reactions in the field allowed Australia to seize momentum and finish the game strongly.

<![CDATA[Women’s World Cup 2025: Who said what? after AUS-W vs PAK-W match 9]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/women-s-world-cup-2025-who-said-what-after-aus-w-vs-pak-w-match-9/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/women-s-world-cup-2025-who-said-what-after-aus-w-vs-pak-w-match-9/ Wed, 08 Oct 2025 22:20:44 GMT

Australia Women registered a dramatic comeback to defeat Pakistan Women in Match 9 of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Batting first, Australia were in big trouble at 76 for 7, but Beth Mooney played a brilliant knock of 109 runs from 114 balls. She added a record 106-run partnership with Alana King, who stayed unbeaten on 51 off 49 balls. Their efforts helped Australia recover and register a good overall of 221/9. Pakistan’s spinners, especially Nashra Sandhu with 3/37, bowled well early on but could not stop the late fightback.

In reply, Pakistan’s batting collapsed as they were all out for just 114 runs in 36.3 overs, losing the match by 107 runs. Sidra Amin was the only batter who fought with 35 runs, while the others failed to build partnerships. Australia bowlers, commanded by Kim Garth (3/14), Megan Schutt (2/25), and Annabel Sutherland, were terrific with the ball and never let Pakistan settle. This massive victory provided Australia with two crucial points and lifted their confidence before facing India in their next match.

AUS-W vs PAK-W: Who Said What?

Beth Mooney (Player of the Match):

"I’d rate this innings pretty high because we were in a tricky situation. I just focused on building partnerships with Kim Garth and Alana King. It was about sticking to the plan and playing late in subcontinent conditions. Alana was brilliant, she’s such a great teammate and always lifts the group. It was tough out there, but worth it in the end."

See Also: Alana King sets new world record during AUS-W vs PAK-W in ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025

Fatima Sana (Pakistan Captain):

"We were on top in the first 20 overs, but Mooney played really well, and our energy dropped. That’s something we need to fix, maintaining intensity till the last ball. Our decision to bowl first was based on the pitch and our spin strength, but we need more partnerships in the middle and better energy in the field. Consistency is the key going forward."

Alyssa Healy (Australia Captain):

"Two points, and we move on. That’s one of the best innings I’ve seen Moons play in my career. At one stage, we thought 150-160 would be a good total, but she got us beyond 200, which was massive. We didn’t adapt well early on, getting out in similar ways, but we’ll learn and be ready for India next. Our depth really showed today, everyone’s contributing, though we’d like more runs from the top order. There are plenty of positives from this win, and we’ll focus on those."

Pakistan Women stunned the defending champions and record seven-time champions Australia Women in their league stage fixture at the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 at Colombo on Wednesday (October 8), where the Aussies were struggling deeply at 76/7. But then, Beth Mooney and Alana King rescued the Aussies with a stunning record-breaking ninth-wicket partnership. 

After Pakistan Women sent Aussies to bat first, the defending champions were seven down at just 76 runs, while they lost their eighth wicket at 115 runs when Kim Garth was dismissed for 11 runs. But Beth Mooney stuck to her crease, while Alana King provided strong support to guide Australia Women to a strong challenging total.  

Mooney and King set up a 106-run partnership for the tenth wicket, as that wicket was only broken on the final ball of the innings, where Mooney was dismissed after scoring a brilliant 109 runs off 114 balls with 11 fours. Meanwhile, King remained not out at 51 runs off 49 balls with three fours and three sixes.  

WATCH: Nashra Sandhu's jaffa takes Ellyse Perry's wicket in AUS-W vs PAK-W ICC Women's World Cup 2025 match

Alana King scored a half-century at no. 10

With her 51 not out, Alana King set some great records, which are as follows.

  • King became the first player to hit a half-century among the no.9 or lower-order batters in the Women's Cricket World Cup history. 
  • King became the first player to record a 50+ score at no.10 or lower batting positions in the history of Women's ODI.

Alana King hit 3 sixes at no.10

While Alana King hit three sixes after coming to bat at number 10, it was surely a special one. 

  • King became the first player to hit three sixes after coming to bat at no.8 or lower positions in the history of the Women's Cricket World Cup.
  • King also became the first player to hit more than one six after coming to bat at the no.10 or lower positions in the Women's ODI history. 

Beth Mooney and Alana King set a century partnership for the 10th wicket

Mooney-King's century partnership was another special story in that innings. They added a 106-run partnership for the 10th wicket.

  • It is the highest Women's ODI partnership for ninth or lower wickets. The previous record was a 77-run partnership for the ninth wicket between Ashleigh Gardner and Kim Garth (Australia Women) against South Africa Women at North Sydney in 2024.
  • It is the highest partnership, actually the first century partnership, for the eighth or lower wickets in the history of the Women's Cricket World Cup. The previous record was a 76-run partnership between Kristen Beams and Alex Blackwell (Australia Women) against India Women at Derby in the Semi-final of the World Cup 2017.

<![CDATA[[WATCH] Beth Mooney's masterclass century fights for Australia during AUS vs PAK clash in Women's World Cup 2025]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-beth-mooney-s-masterclass-century-fights-for-australia-during-aus-vs-pak-clash-in-women-s-world-cup-2025/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-beth-mooney-s-masterclass-century-fights-for-australia-during-aus-vs-pak-clash-in-women-s-world-cup-2025/ Wed, 08 Oct 2025 19:06:30 GMT

Australia, whose last league stage clash against Sri Lanka at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo during the Women’s World Cup 2025 was washed out due to persistent rain, locked horns with Pakistan at the same venue in the event. On a slow surface, they were expected to struggle, as the Asian side made life hard for their batters.

Apart from Beth Mooney, the number four batter, Australia didn’t have any contribution in the batting department for the first 20 overs. They found themselves 76/7 in 21.2 overs before being slipped to 115/8 12 overs later. But Mooney stood there in the middle and posted a final partnership of 106 runs for the ninth wicket with Alana King, who remained unbeaten on 51 runs.

Mooney took a single on the penultimate over to celebrate her maiden century in the World Cup stage. She was dismissed on the last delivery of the first innings for 109 runs in 114 balls with the help of 11 boundaries at a strike rate of 95.61. This helped them post 221/9 in their allotted 50 overs of the first innings.

When Australia lost seven wickets so early in the innings, their first target was to hope of getting over the 150-run mark. The fans also hoped so and hardly thought of crossing the 200-run mark in the first innings. Their 145 runs are the most scored after the fall of the seventh wicket in a women’s ODI innings, overtaking 132 by Scotland against Bangladesh in Lahore this year.

The 106-run ninth-wicket stand between Mooney and King is always the highest ever stand for that wicket in Women’s ODIs. It has surpassed the 77-run stand between Ashleigh Gardner and Kim Garth in 2024 in Sydney. Mooney has now smashed 388 runs in nine innings against Pakistan at a strike rate of two centuries and one fifty.

Australia’s 222-run target will be incredibly challenging for the opponents, especially on a slow surface and against a strong opponent.
