The India Women vs Australia Women ICC WWC 2025 match will kickstart a series of tough matches for Kaur and her girls, with England and New Zealand next in line. A slip-up here could see India not make it through the knockouts. The major issue for Women in Blue have been the dwindling batting, with individual performances saving the side from a plight match after match. India's two-match unbeaten run were courtesy the bowlers, who have been in impeccable form, but will need support from the batters to step up in crunch moments as well.

Australia women, who are on an unbeaten streak despite having one ICC WWC 2025 match get abandoned, too, have not played flawless cricket and have been made to toil hard. The batting department has failed to respond, where only the likes of Beth Mooney and Ashleigh Gardner have held fort for Australia, pulling the side out of deep ditches. The bowling remains their strong point in the competition, with all bases covered, and with the know-how of local conditions, even a smaller total can be defended.

The IND-W vs AUS-W ODIs have always been a contest of nerves, where the team with players who can handle pressure well comes out as the winner.
