IND-W vs AUS-W Highlights, Women's ODI World Cup: Australia Women win by three wickets

The fight is still on as India Women in hunt for wickets.

Australia need 16 off 18 balls. Kim Garth 7(8) and Ellyse Perry 39(46) in action to complete the chase. Australian women in strong position, can India shift the momentum?

The tables are turning and the contest has changed into a thriller. Amanjot Kaur is on fire. A skiddy length ball on middle keeps low, trapping Sophie Molineux (18 off 19, 4s-2) plumb lbw. Molineux starts walking, but Perry urges a review. No luck, ball-tracking shows it crashing into middle stump.

Ellyse Perry, right handed bat, comes to the crease again.

Amanjot Kaur delivers a gem. A length ball with a hint of reverse swing tails in, catching Ashleigh Gardner (45 off 46, 4s-3, 6s-1) off-guard. She flicks, gets a thick inside-edge onto her back leg, and the ball crashes into middle stump. Amanjot roars, double fist-pump in full swing. India’s still in the fight.

Shree Charani gets the big fish as Alyssa Healy’s sensational 142 (107, 4s-21, 6s-3) is over, caught by Sneh Rana. A brief chat with Gardner as she walks off. Umpires check the catch, third umpire spots the ball touching the ground on the first replay, but asks for more angles to confirm.

Shree Charani strikes! Annabel Sutherland, gone for a duck (0 off 2). A peach of a delivery crashes through, rattling the stumps. Harmanpreet Kaur rallies her side, pumping up the energy. India has turned the tables. Can they keep the pressure on?

Deepti Sharma gets Beth Mooney! Mooney steps out, drives, but doesn’t keep it low. Jemimah Rodrigues dives left at extra-cover, grabbing a stunning two-handed catch. Mooney gets out for 4(8). Can India ride this wave?

Physio sprints on for a quick word with Ellyse Perry after that gritty last over. A brief pause in proceedings. Perry looks frustrated, clutching her front hamstring after pushing too far on a dive. She shakes her head, limps off unaided, and steps in to steady the ship. Beth Mooney steps in. Could this be the opening that India needs to defend their total?

Alyssa Healy 70 (56) Ellyse Perry 30 (31) look unstoppable as Australia 141/1 after 21 overs.

Sutherland grabs her fourth wicket as India slide to nine down with nine balls remaining. A deceptive back-of-the-hand slower ball fools Kranti Gaud 1(3), who misjudges the pace and lofts a tame chip to long-on, where substitute Wareham holds a clean catch.

And then, Sutherland completes a brilliant five-wicket haul, bowling out India short of their 50 overs as Shree Charani 0(2) goes back to the pavilion.

Gardner strikes, removing Amanjot Kaur 16(12) as India slump to eight down. A clever tossed-up delivery outside off tempts Amanjot to go for an inside-out loft, but she slices it to backward point, where Molineux takes a safe reverse-cup catch. IND 329/8 after 48 overs.

Sneh Rana and Amanjot Kaur are in action for Team India.

Molineux dismisses Deepti Sharma as she miscues the shot, and Mooney takes a simple catch. India’s wickets keep tumbling.

Sutherland claims her third wicket with a crafty slower ball. Jemimah Rodrigues (33 off 21), stepping out, miscues a shot, and Mooney takes a sharp catch at mid-off. Her quick 33 off 21 (5 fours) ends.

Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh are at the crease.

Jemimah Rodrigues powered off a Megan Schutt delivery to the boundary to end the 39th over.

200 comes up for India. The stage was set by Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal with the onus now on Harleen Deol and Harmanpreet Kaur are in the middle. IND-W 218/2 (34)

OUTTT!!! Australia are slowly clawing back in the game as Pratika Rawal was caught by Ellyse Perry for 75. Georgia Sutherland gets the wicket. IND-W 192/2 (30)

This was Smriti Mandhana's fifth consecutive 50-plus score against Australia in ODIs and is the only batter to do so. Her last five scores in ODIs against Australia read 105, 58, 117, 125, 80.

OUTTTT!!!! Smriti Mandhana's fine innings comes to an end as she is caught by Phoebe Litchfield off the bowling of Sophie Molineux. The Indian vice-captain goes for the slog sweep but it didn't get the required elevation only for Litchfield to take the catch. Mandhana departs for 80 off 66 balls. IND-W 156/1 (25)

Fifty for Smriti Mandhana and a 100-run stand with Pratika Rawal. In fact, this was Mandhana-Rawal's fourth 100-plus stand in 2025. IND-W 107/0 (20)

Both Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal have upped the ante after a slow start. From 23/0 in 6 overs, the Indian openers have flicked the switch to cross the 50-run mark in the next four overs with a flurry of boundaries. IND-W 56/0 (9.3)

Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana are in the middle. Kim Garth will open the attack for Australia. IND-W 9/0 (3)

ICC chairman and former BCCI secretary Jay Shah is in the house. Two former cricketers Mithali Raj and Ravi Kalpana are also being felicitated with a stand and gate named after them at the venue.

“Pitch looks better than what we had in the last game. Same XI. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It's about how you bounce back. We were there in the game for 95 overs, lots of positives for us. They've always been important for us. Always been nice, cheering the team day and night. Biggest part in our lives that we're getting this support,” said Harmanpreet Kaur.

Time for National Anthems. Australia will go first, followed by India. We are just few minutes away from the game.

Harmanpreet Kaur and Alyssa Healy walk down for the coin toss. Australia win the toss and opt to bowl first. Australia have one change with Georgia Wareham making way for Sophie Molineux. India go unchanged.

History beckons Smriti Mandhana. The Indian vice-captain is just 18 runs away from becoming the first player to score 1000 ODI runs in a calendar year. She currently has 982 runs in 17 innings so far in 2025

The game is important for India. A win for the Women in Blue will bring their campaign back on track and also put them up in the top two. We are just few minutes away from the toss.

Richa Ghosh is the only positive in the Indian camp. Coming at lower down the order, the Bengal stumper played the innings of his lifetime against South Africa with a 94-run knock. From being at 102/6 in the 27th over, it was Richa's 94, that propelled India to 250-mark. Earlier against Pakistan, it was Richa's late heroics, that took the game away from the opposition.

Unlike the previous game in Vizag, the rain forecast has cleared up and is expceted to be rain-free. The conditions are good to bat. Captains winning the toss should opt to chase considering the dew factor.

The major concern for India will be their middle-order comprising Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues. While Kaur failed to make most of her starts, Rodrigues posed serious concern with consecutive ducks.

For Australia, the Alyssa Healy-led side won against New Zealand before their clash against Sri Lanka was washed out without a ball being bowled. The defending champions then decimated Pakistan by 107 runs to roar again.

India have started their campaign with two wins against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. But they lost track against South Africa, losing the game in the 49th over, thanks to late heroics from Nadine de Klerk.
