India will face Australia in the second semifinal match of the ongoing ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 on Thursday (October 30) at Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The match between the two star-studded
teams is expected to be a nail-biting contest, as India is the only team in this year’s tournament, which has put Aussies under pressure with both batting and bowling.
In the league match played between them on October 12 in Visakhapatnam, Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal scored half-centuries to help India post a total of 330 runs. Even though Aussies chased the 331-run target down in 49 overs for the loss of 7 wickets, they were challenged by the Indian team, who now would like to get the better of them and secure a place in the final.
