New Delhi [India], October 26: The stage is set for an exciting semi-final lineup at the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025, with England taking on South Africa in Guwahati on Wednesday (October 29), while defending champions Australia are scheduled to face hosts India at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday (October 30). The fixture between India and Australia will mark the first time the two teams have met in a Cricket World Cup semi-final since their clash in the final four stage of the tournament back in 2017, according to the ICC website. Jemimah Rodrigues Signs Autographs For Fans As They Sing 'Jemi Meri Jaan' After India Women's Victory Against New Zealand Women in ICC Women's World Cup 2025 (Watch Video).

Australia finished the league stage of the competition undefeated, the only team with no losses at this World Cup. England are second after defeating New Zealand in their last group stage match. Proteas are third while India will finish fourth irrespective of the result against Bangladesh in Navi Mumbai.

The winners of both semi-finals will meet in the Cricket World Cup final on November 2. Earlier on Saturday in Indore, the defending champions chased down the target of 98 with seven wickets in hand, after a spectacular record-breaking bowling display from Alana King. Alana King Registers Best-Ever Figures by an Australian in Women's ODIs, Takes First Seven-Wicket Haul in Women's World Cup History During AUS-W vs SA-W ICC WWC 2025 Match.

The win marked their sixth in the league stage, along with a shared point from their washout against Sri Lanka. The seven-time winners remain the only unbeaten team at this year's marquee tournament. In their previous meeting against India in Indore during the league stage, Australia had chased down a record total to solidify their position in the standings.

Meanwhile, India walked into the semis on the back of an all-round display against New Zealand that punched their ticket to the knockouts. The hosts will face Bangladesh on Sunday to mark the end of their league stage campaign. England, on the other hand, will face off against New Zealand before the semis. (ANI)
