Alyssa Healy appears to have fully recovered from her calf injury and is set to resume her place at the top of the order — along with her captaincy duties. According to an official update from Cricket Australia, Healy skipped Australia’s optional training session at DY Patil Stadium on Wednesday evening, but her absence was neither unusual nor concerning. The 35-year-old is carefully managing her workload as she returns from injury. Just a day earlier, she had trained intensively, successfully clearing a fitness test before completing comprehensive batting and wicketkeeping sessions.

Australia lead 49-11 in the 60-game rivalry, with a 11-3 record in World Cups. Australia have only lost two ODIs to India since the 2017 epic.

A booming hello and a warm welcome to what promises to be a breathtaking contest! It’s the semifinal showdown everyone’s been waiting for Australia vs India in the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup. Two cricketing heavyweights, one spot in the final and the stage is set for an unforgettable clash.

The unbeaten Australian juggernaut rolls into this encounter brimming with confidence. The only team without a loss in this edition, Australia boast five individual centuries, the best-ever bowling figures in World Cup history, and a lineup packed with world-class talent. Time and again, they’ve shown an incredible ability to claw back from pressure, turn games around, and finish strong when it matters most.

No opponent dares to take them lightly, those who did have been left stunned by their composure and grit.

Yet, if any team knows how to challenge the invincible, it’s India. Harmanpreet Kaur’s side has done it before that unforgettable, rain-hit night in Derby eight years ago still stands as proof that Australia can be beaten. Now, under the Navi Mumbai skies, India will once again look to draw inspiration from that performance and rewrite the script.

The DY Patil Stadium promises a thrilling spectacle, a surface tailor-made for runs, a crowd ready to roar, and two teams hungry for glory. On paper, Australia carry the edge, but India’s passion, flair, and familiarity with home conditions make them a dangerous opponent capable of springing surprises.

So, the question looms large: Can India crack the Aussie code again, or will Australia’s relentless dominance march on to yet another final?
