AUS-W Win By 3 Wickets | India vs Australia Highlights of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025: Alyssa Healy's Century, Injured Ellyse Perry's Cameo Take Australia Home

That's It! Ellyse Perry finishes off things in style. Sneh Rana tried to use her experience to push things but despite being injured Perry was all class and used it to dance down the track and smash Rana over the head for six to finish off things in style. A thrilling chase comes to an end in a dramatic way. It started with Alyssa Healy scoring a stunning century and then Perry and Gardner put the finishing touches. Consecutive losses for India and they will be worried. 

Out! India stay alive in the game with two wickets taken by Amanjot Kaur. She dismissed well-set Ashleigh Gardner and then scalped the wicket of Sophie Molineux. Injured Ellyse Perry has come out to bat and alongside Kim Garth, she is aiming to take Australia over the line with the target being at range. Molineux lbw b Amanjot Kaur 18(19) and Gardner b Amanjot Kaur 45(46).

Out! Crucial wicket for India. They see the back of Tahlia McGrath who was taking the game away from India. Offbreak from Deepti Sharma, Tahlia McGrath pushes forward to tap the ball but the ball turns enough to miss the bat and hit her pad. Umpire gives not out at first but Deepti pushes Harmanpreet to go for review. DRS shows three reds. India stay alive in the contest. McGrath lbw b Deepti Sharma 12(8).

Out! Finally Alyssa Healy departs but she will think she has done the jon for Australia. A brilliant knock of 142 runs comes to end. Healy tried to loft Sree Charani over covers, sliced it and the ball looped towards the point fielder Sneh Rana. The ball was dying on Rana, yet she dived and grabbed a good low catch. Some hope for India although Australia are well ahead. Healy c Sneh Rana b Shree Charani 142(107).

Hundred! The Aussie captain steps at a time when her team needs her the most. Took on the Indian bowling from the powerplay and kept attacking and ticking the scoreboard. Raced to her half-century and pacer her innings rightly to complete the century. She has still work to do and she will aim to complete it soon. 

Out! Cleaned up! Terrific bowling from Sree Charani and India returns strongly in the game. The length was good, sucked in Annabel Sutherland who used her feet to reach the pitch. But in the end, the ball pitches ahead of her and turns enough to beat her bat and strike her wickets. It is a big wicket for India and now they can control a few things. Sutherland b Shree Charani 0(2).

Some developments in India's favour as they have got two lucky breaks. Ellyse Perry overextended her hamstring and had to walk off the field. She was set and carrying the innings forward. Beth Mooney came in but she was dismissed due to a brilliant catch from Jemimah Rodrigues. Deepti Sharma got Mooney to play a lofted drive and it was enough for Jemimah. India will have to make the opening bigger. Mooney c Rodrigues b Deepti Sharma 4(8).

No threat from the Indian bowlers and the Australian batters continue cruising. Alyssa Healy has dominated the Indian bowlers and found boundaries on regular intervals. Ellyse Perry has started cautiously and has played second fiddle to Perry. India have to change something soon, or else Australia will run away with the match. 

Alyssa Healy has always been a thorn in the throat of India in World competitions and this time it is no different. She once again took charge attacking the Indian bowlers and raced to her half-century. The longer she stays, the more damage she will make to India's chance of winning this game. 

Out! Phoebe Litchfield departs and India will breathe a little easier. The shot was on as Litchfield tried to land another of her reverse sweeps, but this time couldn't pick the gap and ended up picking the point fielder who took a good catch in the end. First breakthrough for India but Australia have got the start they desired. Phoebe Litchfield c Sneh Rana b Shree Charani 40(39).
