Women’s World Cup 2025: Points Table

After the completion of fourteen matches, the updated points table is as follows:

New Zealand Women finally win their first victory of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025, beating Bangladesh Women comprehensively by 100 runs in Match 11. The match was held at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, where New Zealand came back strongly after a sequence of early losses in the tournament. Not only did this win raise their confidence but also pushed them ahead of Bangladesh in the points table.

After winning the toss, New Zealand decided to bat first and scored a competitive 227/9 in their 50-over allotted time. Skipper Sophie Devine opened with a good 63 runs, while Brooke Halliday scored a crucial 69 runs. Both their 112-run stand for the fourth wicket took New Zealand off the shaky start at 38/3. Rabeya Khan for Bangladesh was impressive with the ball, ending on a haul of 3/30.

Chasing 228, Bangladesh’s innings never gained momentum as they collapsed to 33/6 inside the first 14 overs. Despite a late effort from Fahima Khatun (34) and Rabeya Khan (25), the team was eventually bowled out for 127 in 39.5 overs. Jess Kerr (3/21) and Lea Tahuhu (3/22), playing her 100th ODI, were instrumental in sealing a dominant win for the White Ferns. This commanding victory saw New Zealand move to fifth place on the points table. Below are the main reasons for the Bangladesh Women defeat:

1. Top-order collapse:

Bangladesh's top and middle order was in collapse against New Zealand's bowling attack in the chase of 228. They were reduced to 33/6 in 14 overs, effectively killing off their chase. Only three batters reached double figures.

2. Failure to dismiss New Zealand's middle order: 

Following a strong beginning with the ball, Bangladesh could not keep up the pressure and take wickets in the middle overs. This allowed New Zealand to limit their collapse from 38/3, and build an adequate partnership between Sophie Devine and Brooke Halliday.

3. Excellent bowling from New Zealand: 

New Zealand's bowlers were absolutely overwhelming, piercing through the Bangladesh batting order. Jess Kerr and Tahuhu were particularly damaging, each picking up three wickets. The continued pressure from the New Zealand bowlers meant that Bangladesh were unable to make any effective partnerships.

New Zealand Women secured a convincing 100-run win against Bangladesh Women in Match 11 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. New Zealand batted first after winning the toss and put a good score of 227/9 on the board in their 50 overs. Skipper Sophie Devine (63 runs) and Brooke Halliday (69 runs) played their part, sharing a vital 112-run partnership to salvage the innings after early deterioration reduced New Zealand to 38/3. Rabeya Khan was the Bangladeshi bowlers' choice, with 3/30.

In reply, Bangladesh-W also struggled miserably in their pursuit of 228, being finally bowled out for 127 in 39.5 overs. Only three Bangladeshi players scored above double figures, with Fahima Khatun (34 runs) and Rabeya Khan (25 runs) showing some resistance in a losing cause. New Zealand bowlers stood out in a wonderful performance, led by Jess Kerr and Lea Tahuhu, who each claimed three wickets, providing a one-sided victory for their team.

NZ-W vs BAN-W: Who said what?

Brooke Halliday (Player of the Match):

"I guess the biggest thing after the couple of days was being okay with getting ones and being okay with being boring. We knew the plan, bat long till the 40th over and then have the party time. It’s easy to bat with Sophie; she keeps it simple, and that helps me. What we did well today was keep things simple with the ball, and it worked for us."

Nigar Sultana (Bangladesh Captain):

"We bowled well early on but couldn’t maintain consistency with the bat. After 40 overs, we leaked too many boundaries, and that cost us. The lower middle order is trying hard, but we need more from the top batters. Hopefully, the bowlers continue this form, and our batting unit steps up in the next game."

Sophie Devine (New Zealand Captain):

"Really pleasing for this side to get on the board. Conditions were tough, but Brooke and I accepted that it wouldn’t be easy. Mair and Lea were exceptional with the ball, attacking the stumps and keeping pressure on. Every point is gold in this tournament, so we’ll take each game as it comes."

New Zealand Women (NZ W) will take on Bangladesh Women (BAN W) in the 11th Match of the ICC Women’s  World Cup 2025 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati at 3:00 PM IST on Friday, October 10. The Sophie Devine led side has had a tough start to their campaign, losing their first two matches against Australia then South Africa. Despite an impressive squad, the White Ferns currently sit seventh on the table and are in need of a first win.

Conversely, Bangladesh Women led by Nigar Sultan, are also in a must-win situation after their mixed bag of results in the two opening fixtures. After one win and one defeat, they currently sit fifth in the tournament. Bangladesh will be hoping to capitalize on New Zealand's poor form, to be able to gain. The fixture promises to hel a close contest, with both sides looking to pull their campaigns back on track while hoping to remain in contention for the tournament's semi-finals.

The White Ferns commenced their World Cup journey with a disappointing 89-run defeat to the defending champions Australia at the same venue, where their batsmen faltered against the Australians' bowling attack.

Meanwhile, South Africa's Women had a horror start to their World Cup campaign, getting bowled out for 69 runs in just 20.4 overs against England in Guwahati, with the English side chasing down the target successfully with 10 wickets to spare.

Women’s World Cup 2025: Points Table

After the completion of six matches, the points table looks like this.

Australia Women kicked off their ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 campaign with a strong victory against New Zealand Women in Indore. Batting first, at the Holkar Stadium, the Australians in mid-innings posted a solid total of 326 runs in 49.3 overs. Ashleigh Gardner was the star of the innings with a superb century, scoring 115 runs off just 83 balls. Phoebe Litchfield helped set a strong foundation with a quick 45 runs, whilst Kim Garth and Ellyse Perry supported with useful runs. Despite New Zealand’s bowlers Lea Tahuhu and Jess Kerr picking three wickets each, the Australians managed to reach a winning score.

Chasing 327, New Zealand had a nightmare beginning, losing two wickets without scoring a run. Captain Sophie Devine played a fighting knock of 111 runs but did not get enough support from the other end. Amelia Kerr made 33 and Brooke Halliday 28, but the rest of the batting could not handle the pressure. Australia bowled tightly, with Annabel Sutherland and Sophie Molineux taking three wickets each, sealing an 89-run win.

AUS-W vs NZ-W: Who said what?

Ashleigh Gardner (Player of the Match):

“Yeah, it was pretty special. When I got out in the middle, I had clear plans just to get myself in and stick to my strengths. We always knew that we needed a big total. The boundaries are small and the wicket is good. So making sure, once I got in, I capitalised on that. Knowing 320 on the board, we had something to defend. I guess you look at how Devine batted, she made it tough for our bowlers. I think that would be the trend in this World Cup, get enough runs on the board. I was just trying to keep it really simple. I feel like when I am hitting the boundaries, I go really hard at it and look to take singles and doubles that kind of gets me into my innings and if I get a boundary, that helps me settle in. We bat genuinely all the way down. We have the confidence that even if we are 5 down for not too much on the board, we have the players to come in and change the game. I love the position to come in at that time and change the game.”

Sophie Devine (New Zealand Captain):

“I am most proud of the fight that the team shown. A couple of years ao we would have thrown the towel around 150 but we kept coming and going. The result didn't go our way but the effort makes me proud. It was against the best bowling attack of the world. It's a hard one. You always want to be on the winning team. We will reflect on it later. Job well done but still job needs to be done in this World Cup. It shows the mindset of the group. We know they have a deep batting order. We missed a little bit on line and length and got punished on a really flat surface. Amelia and Lea were fantastic. Everyone knows their role which makes it a fantastic team. Taking big wickets is important for the team. Illing has got some pace and swings the ball being a left hander. Really excited to see where she can take the game. It's about who can hold their nerves longer. We need to keep fighting back in the game in both innings. It's a great cricket wicket, great outfield and small boundaries.”

Alyssa Healy (Australia Captain):

“Umm, yeah it did actually. I think when Sophie is going as good as she did, you are never really feel comfortable. But full credit to the girls, for hanging in there and hit our lengths to get the job done. It is a balance, we ended up somewhere above 300 when we were struggling in the middle stages. As a batting group, we need to make sure to be precise with what we are doing. I think, she is just continuing to mature as a cricketer with bat and with ball. Middle order coming in and score hundreds when we were in trouble is a real asset. I am really proud of Ash today, she can enjoy this moment. I mean, it is lucky that Ash got a hundred, otherwise Kim Garth would have got the player of the match award. It is huge, it is not kind of like-for-like. Awesome that Sophie can also bowl for us in the powerplay. So there are the little things that you want to get right, hopefully we can take momentum in the next game in Colombo where conditions might be different. Beautiful cricket ground. Really enjoyed playing here, I would love to come here again.”

In Match 2 of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025, Australia Women achieved a great victory against New Zealand Women, winning by 89 runs at Holkar Stadium in Indore. After winning the toss, Australia opted to bat and scored a substantial 326 runs all out in 49.3 overs. The star of the innings was Ashleigh Gardner, who smashed a brilliant 115 off just 83 balls at number six. Phoebe Litchfield added quick runs with 45 off 31 balls, while Kim Garth scored 38 and Ellyse Perry made 33. For New Zealand, Lea Tahuhu and Jess Kerr were the most effective bowlers, taking three wickets each.

In reply to the tough target of 327 runs, New Zealand Women suffered a poor start with their first two openers getting out for ducks in the first two overs. This put them under enormous pressure against a disciplined Australian attack. Captain Sophie Devine provided a fighting knock, scoring 112 runs off 111 balls, but did not receive sufficient backup from her teammates. The balance of the batting crumbled and New Zealand were bowled out for 237 in 43.2 overs. Australia’s bowling attack kept it tight, with Annabel Sutherland and Sophie Molineux picking up three wickets each to close it out. Below are the main reasons for New Zealand Women defeat: 

1. Early Wickets in the Chase

New Zealand’s chase was off to the worst possible start, losing both openers without scoring. The early collapse meant they were always behind the required run rate. With so many runs needed, the pressure only grew stronger, leaving too much work for captain Devine alone.

2. No Big Partnerships Around Devine

Although Sophie Devine played a captain’s knock with her century, no other batter stayed long enough to form a big partnership. Small stands were broken quickly by Australia’s clever bowling. Without support at the other end, Devine’s effort could not change the result.

3. Gardner’s Match-Winning Century 

Australia looked in trouble when they were 128/5 but a brilliant innings from Ashleigh Gardner steadied their ship to post 326, she scored an explosive 115 runs off 83 balls. Thanks to her innings, Australia scored more than 300 which was too big a target for New Zealand.

Shafali Verma slammed 70 off 49 balls
