Australia vs India 1st ODI
India and Australia made for some memorable cricket in their inaugural one-day international at New Chandigarh Stadium, as India decided to bat first.
India assembled an assured innings which took them past 282 runs; Australia responded with measured assurance, building sturdy partnerships that prevented stress building during chase. Phoebe Litchfield’s boundary-laden 88 helped Australia complete this goal in under five overs!
India lost both openers early, but Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur displayed maturity to keep scoring runs quickly.
Together they amassed 167 runs in 36 overs – the highest partnership for any wicket in Women’s ODI World Cup knockout matches. Rodrigues became fastest Indian ever to reach 100 runs; she broke Virat Kohli’s record by almost an hour with her stunning 83-ball century which featured many big hits.
Healy returned from two-match absence due to knee injury, playing an instrumental role in Australia’s innings. She was unfortunate not to get out when trying to hit for quick single, only for Kaur to catch behind and dismiss her when trying to take quick single.
Later, Healy established an important fourth-wicket partnership with Annabel Sutherland who scored 54 off only 44 balls, helping Australia secure a comfortable victory.
Australia women have arrived in India for a three-match one-day international series ahead of the Women’s World Cup and they won their opening ODI against India by eight wickets at New Chandigarh Stadium on Saturday; marking their first win against them after seven attempts.
Australia recorded their biggest ODI win against India to date with an emphatic performance from their spinners who showed great discipline to produce an unexpected victory for Australia.
India’s batsmen struggled to find effective combinations at opening positions, yet Australia managed to outwit them thanks to disciplined spinner play from Australia’s side. Australia captain Meg Schutt took four wickets with the ball to ensure their run chase was never troubled, assisted by Ellyse Perry who bowled effectively throughout. The match took place under cloudy skies with a light breeze sweeping from end to end of the ground.
Australia vs India 2nd ODI
Starting September 19, Australia Women’s National Cricket Team will head off to India for a three-match One Day International (ODI) series, beginning with their opener against India Women. An ODI is a form of international cricket in which both teams play for an agreed number of overs.
First introduced in the mid 1990s, these match-ups have since become an essential component of international cricket calendar. Each side comprises 11 players whose captain wins the toss determines whether they’ll bat or field first during an ODI series.
Indian Women’s Cricket Team have never won against Australian National Cricket Team before but aim to change that in 2025. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead her side while Smriti Mandhana serves as Vice Captain.
The series will begin with an ODI at Sydney Cricket Ground before moving on to Manuka Oval in Canberra for the second match and Adelaide Oval for its conclusion. Both Australia and India have met 35 times, winning 26 times while India has managed seven victories over them.
Both teams will be led by veteran cricketers, with India hoping to improve on its dismal record against Australia. Indian optimism will be further increased by the inclusion of Bharati Fulmali and Shreyanka Patil who had been dropped for their previous home series against Sri Lanka last month but will return for this tour.
Jemima Rodrigues will lead India’s run chase from her left-handed stance. She scored an astounding century against England-W in Derby last year and will look to add more runs to her impressive total. Jemima rodrigues became only the second batter ever to score such a century at World Cup knockout run-chases after Nat-Sciver Brunt scored one in 2017.
Yastika Bhatia will miss the remainder of Australia series after contracting viral fever and has been replaced by Uma Chetry as part of her absence.
Australia vs India 3rd ODI
Australia and India played out an exhilarating third ODI match that featured dynamic performances by both sides in terms of their batting and bowling performances.
Australia came away victorious by nine wickets to take an important step towards winning the series, while Harmanpreet Kaur made history becoming the first Indian woman ever to score over 8,000 international runs in one-day international cricket.
Rohit Sharma recorded 33rd ODI century in this match to surpass Kumar Sangakkara to become second highest run scorer ever in ODI history behind only Sangakkara himself!
This was an extremely crucial match for both teams as this was their last ODI before the World Cup begins in June. Rohit and Virat Kohli started strong with an opening partnership of big shots from both of them that set their teams on their journey. At the SCG, fans cheered every run from both teams with excitement.
After an excellent start by both teams, India lost some early wickets before scoring more than 300 runs in the first half despite quickly succumbing to early wickets.
They took commanding lead before Australia bowlers did an outstanding job limiting India batsmen to less than 200 runs over 10 overs of play in order to create an exciting end-to-end contest.
Australia won by 93 runs to secure their place in the semi-finals of the 2025 Women’s ICC World Cup and will play either New Zealand or South Africa in their semi-final encounter.
Sophie Molineux made headlines last month as Australia made a leadership change, when spinner Alyssa Healy was replaced as all-format captain by spinner Sophie Molineux, an excellent choice given her experience, composure and domestic leadership experience – she will be perfectly equipped to lead Australia forward into a new era of women’s international cricket. Tahlia McGrath and Ash Gardner will continue supporting Molineux as vice-captains.
India have welcomed back Shreyanka Patil and Bharati Fulmali after missing last year’s 5-0 thumping of Sri Lanka, with Harmanpreet Kaur continuing as captain and Smriti Mandhana serving as vice-captain of their three T20I matches against Australia.
Australia vs India 4th ODI
Australia made history at Women’s World Cup 2025 as they successfully attempted a record run chase of 315 runs to defeat India by three wickets at Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
Alyssa Healy batted brilliantly to score 142 and feature in three fifty-run partnerships while Annabel Sutherland shined with her fantastic bowling performance.
India got off to an encouraging start after winning the toss, with Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal opening with an excellent partnership of 150 runs for the first wicket. But after their departures, India struggled with wicket losses regularly before ultimately falling from 294/5 in 49 overs to 331/7 by innings end.
Healy was dropped on the eve of this tournament but made an immediate comeback, hitting six fours and one six across her 142-ball innings.
Beth Mooney also scored fifty, but her innings was cut short when she was caught off Shree Charani’s delivery in the 31st over.
Australia’s bowlers took regular wickets, prompting India’s collapse from 192/1 to 330/7 within nine overs with Jemimah Rodrigues taking an excellent catch off Deepti Sharma. Annabel Sutherland led Australia’s bowling attack with five wickets while Sophie Molineux and Ashleigh Gardner also contributed with key wickets.
Harmanpreet Kaur will take pride in how India responded despite their loss. Though many pundits believed India were out of it when they lost the toss and were reduced to 92/6 in 25 overs, they kept their nerve and made the chase look easy with half centuries from Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana both scoring 50s, with Harmanpreet becoming youngest player ever to surpass 5000 ODI runs in doing so.
On Sunday they will play South Africa at same venue with Bharati Fulmali and Shreyanka Patil being added back into their 16-man squads as part of their tour squads of 16 players to ensure smoother operations from both teams if India lose outright against South Africa after an earlier win vs New Zealand by winning tosses against South Africa before this series ends if necessary.
