The India vs Australia Women’s World Cup 2025 semi-final will start at 3:00 PM IST, with live telecast and streaming on all major platforms in India. Australia, with a record-extending eighth Women’s ODI World Cup title on their minds, have been unbeatable throughout the tournament. India, however, will be hoping to utilize familiar conditions to the fullest in order to bring themselves a first-ever World Cup victory on home ground.
IND-W vs AUS-W: Head-to-Head record
Australia have proved to be very dominant against India, with 49 of 60 ODIs while India has only won only 11 in the head-to-head record of two teams. The pattern continues to World Cups as well the Aussies have won 10 matches, including the 2005 final, while India have won three. There has been one match where there was no result.
Thursday’s encounter will be the third World Cup semi-final encounter between the two teams. Australia had emerged victorious in the first in Delhi (1997), with India notoriously reversing the script in Derby (2017) with Harmanpreet Kaur’s unbeaten 171 guiding them to a record 36-run victory.
IND-W vs AUS-W: Weather and Pitch conditions
There is a 25% possibility of rain in Navi Mumbai on Thursday and a 3% possibility of thunderstorms on match day, says AccuWeather. The semi-final may be played out for up to 120 minutes, as against 60 minutes in the group stage, and there is a reserve day in case of necessity.
For a match to be declared, each side has to bat for a minimum of 20 overs. In the event of a washout on both days, Australia will qualify for the final since they placed higher in the league phase (first) than India (fourth).
India’s previous group game against Bangladesh in the same venue was rained out something that will hopefully not be the case in this highly important knockout match.
