IND W vs AUS W Live score, India vs Australia: Follow Latest Updates
IND W vs AUS W Live Score: After a heartbreaking three-wicket defeat to South Africa, Harmanpreet Kaur and her team are ready to bounce back as they face the mighty Australia in their most anticipated Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 clash at the ACA-VDCA Stadium, Visakhapatnam.
The narrow loss to South Africa has exposed a few cracks in India’s strategy, especially in the bowling department. With spin-friendly conditions expected once again, the management might consider bringing in Radha Yadav, who can add depth with both bat and ball. However, with Australia’s top order featuring left-handers like Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield, that move could be a tough call.
India Need Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet to Step Up
India’s batting has struggled for consistency, with Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Jemimah Rodrigues yet to deliver impactful innings. Mandhana, in particular, has scored just 54 runs in three matches at an average of 18, a steep drop from her pre-World Cup form where she amassed 928 runs in 14 ODIs at an average of 66.
However, Mandhana’s record against Australia offers hope — she has piled up 916 runs in ODIs against them at an average of 48.21, including four centuries. If there was ever a time to find form again, this is it.
India’s Bowling Needs Reinforcements
India’s death bowling came under scrutiny in the last game as Kranti Gaud and Amanjot Kaur conceded 30 runs in 12 balls across the 47th and 49th overs, allowing South Africa to chase down a 252-run target. A more composed approach and an additional spin option could help India regain control against Australia’s power-packed lineup featuring Alyssa Healy, Ashleigh Gardner, and Ellyse Perry.
India and Australia: The Rivalry Renewed
The two sides faced each other in a pre-World Cup ODI series where India came close to creating history but narrowly missed out in the final ODI. That loss still lingers — and adds fuel to the fire for today’s encounter.
