The Indian Women were playing the Australian Women in the ICC Women’s World Cup match, and it was one of the most-awaited ones. Eventually, the Australian team pulled one of the greatest run chases in Women’s World Cup history. “Sometimes as captain, you hang on for dear life and try the best,” says Australian captain Alyssa Healy after a record run chase against India in the Women’s World Cup 2025.
Basically, the Australian captain, Alyssa Healy, won the toss and decided that her team would bowl first on this wicket. They made just one change to their playing eleven; Wareham was not playing as Molineux got the place. On the other hand, the Indian team did not make any changes to their playing 11 that lost to the South African team.
Surely, Indian Women had a flying start to their innings, and both the openers had come with a mission, and that is to take the match away from the Australian Women. Smriti and Pratika added 155 for the first wicket. Eventually, Smriti scored 80 in 66 balls, whereas Pratika scored 75 in 96 balls. There were cameos from Harleen, Jemimah, and Richa. The Indian batting got a massive collapse as they lost the last six wickets for just 26 runs. The Indian Women scored 330/10. Annabel Sutherland picked up 5/40 in her 9.5 overs.
The Australian openers had a decent start as both openers added 85 runs for the first wicket. Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner had decent contributions with the bat. It was surely the day for the Australian captain, Alyssa Healy. She scored 142 runs in 107 balls and smashed all the Indian bowlers, taking the match away from them. Eventually, the Australian Women won the match by three wickets with one over to spare.
