India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, are looking to bounce back after a narrow three-wicket defeat to South Africa in their last outing. Despite that slip, the Women in Blue remain in a strong position, with two wins from three matches and a passionate home crowd behind them. A win today would catapult them to the top of the points table – a massive boost as the tournament heats up.
Australia, on the other hand, have been a dominant force so far. After a dramatic recovery in their opening game against Pakistan – where Beth Mooney’s century rescued them from 76/7 – the Aussies have looked increasingly clinical with each match. Unbeaten and sitting atop the standings, Alyssa Healy’s side is once again setting the gold standard in women’s cricket.
As for the conditions, the ACA-VDCA pitch is expected to be batting-friendly early on, but spinners are likely to play a major role as the game progresses – particularly under lights. With chasing sides generally enjoying more success here, the toss could play a key role, with both captains likely to prefer bowling first.
With high stakes, world-class talent on both sides, and a lively home crowd expected, this is more than just a group match – it’s a potential preview of a knockout showdown. Buckle up for a thrilling encounter in Vizag!

5000 runs for Smriti Mandhana - only the fifth and second Indian to reach the milestone in the Women’s ODIs. She is the youngest and fastest to get there in terms of innings (112) and balls faced (5568), bettering Stafanie Taylor (129 innings) and Suzie Bates (6182 balls), respectively.
106* runs is the highest opening stand against Australia in World Cups, bettering 101 runs added by England’s E Bakewell & D Thomas in the inaugural World Cup.
Schutt starts with good swing and control, troubling Pratika Rawal with sharp movement in. Just two singles off the over, with both batters playing cautiously. A disciplined over from the Aussie pacer, keeping the pressure on India’s openers.
A tidy start from Kim Garth with just five runs coming off the over. Smriti Mandhana found her rhythm with a beautifully timed cover drive for four, but otherwise, the Indian openers were cautious. Pratika Rawal picked up a single, while Garth maintained a probing line and length.
Harmanpreet | India captain: Pitch looks better than what we had in the last game. Same XI. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It's about how you bounce back. We were there in the game for 95 overs, lots of positives for us. They've always been important for us. Always been nice, cheering the team day and night. Biggest part in our lives that we're getting this support.
Healy | Australia captain: We're going to bowl. Got dewy last evening while training. Hopefully can slide on the bat. Just one change. Molineux is back and Wareham misses out. Nice to have Soph back. At some point during World Cups, you just need to get what needs to be done and get the win. But when you come up against a really good opposition like India, you need to put everything together. My first time back in Vizag since 2011. Should be a great atmosphere. Got a bit of Aussie support. Girls are pumped for that.
