India Women vs Australia Women Semifinal. (Express photo by Amit Chakravarty)India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score Updates Radha Yadav picks Ellyse Perry. Australia six down. Earlier, Healy won the toss and opted to bat first against Harmanpreet Kaur’s India in the second semi-final at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Thursday
Coming into the crucial clash, Australia are unbeaten in the tournament, and the only game they did not win was against Sri Lanka, which ended as a no result due to rain. India, on the other hand, has finished in fourth place in the group stage after facing defeats to South Africa, Australia, and England.
The winner of the clash between India and Australia will face South Africa in the final on Sunday, who have thumped England in the first semifinal on Wednesday. India’s previous game at the same venue has been washed out, and there is a prediction of rain on Thursday as well, and if we were to have a similar situation, ICC has allocated a reserve day for the result.
Teams:
India Women (Playing XI): Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Amanjot Kaur, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh(w), Radha Yadav, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani, Renuka Singh Thakur
Australia Women (Playing XI): Phoebe Litchfield, Alyssa Healy(w/c), Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt
SCROLL DOWN TO FOLLOW UPDATES OF THE WOMEN’S WORLD CUP 2025 MATCH BETWEEN INDIA AND AUSTRALIA FROM NAVI MUMBAI
Shankar Narayan from DY Patil: India bowl Australia out for 338. At 193/2 after 30 overs, it seemed like 360-370 was on the cards. Then at 265/6 it seemed like Australia might end up with a score around 320. In the end, they get a score in between both of them. A tall order in front of the hosts in the chase.
A mammoth total all said and done. "We would have taken this at the start of the day, we left a few runs there but glad to go over the 330-mark," Litchfield says.
Australia chased down 330 for the world record in women's ODIs earlier in Vizag.
India would have to go bigger than that too.
Well, at one stage it looked like Australia would get to 370 (when Litchfield was going berserk). Then at one stage, India looked like they have pulled things back well. And then Gardner threatened 350... eventually Australia finish with a mammoth 338.
A run out in the last over as Garth tries coming back for a second run.
Kim Garth run out (Amanjot Kaur/ Richa Ghosh) 17 (17 balls)
AUS: 338 all out in 49.5 overs
One brings two for Deepti and she has two in two balls. She has bowled a full ball around the pads and Molineux. plays all around it. Bowled.
Sophie Molineux b Deepti Sharma 0 (1 ball)
Deepti Sharma finally has a wicket on what has been a tough afternoon for her. Flights one up slow outside offstump, and it is not given out as King plays a slog. India review... and it is a rare successful review.
Alana King c Richa Ghosh b Deepti Sharma 4 (4 balls)
AUS 336/8
Alana King comes in and shows why she is probably the best No 9 in the world. Four to finish that over.
Shankar from Navi Mumbai: India get the wicket, but what an innings from Gardner. 63 off 44 balls has deflated India from a position where they looked like restricting Australia to around 320.
Well, that will help India chase maybe 10 runs fewer. Gardner smashes two sixes at the start of the 49th over. Radha fires one in full and there is confusion between the two batters. Garth initially sent Gardner back to keep her on strike but they stand in the middle to have a meeting, and India manage a run out.
Ashleigh Gardner run out (Kranti Gaud/Richa Ghosh) 63 (45 balls)
Shankar from Navi Mumbai: How India would love to have an asset as good as Ash Gardner in their line-up. The other day she was rescuing Australia from the doldrums against England, today she has played quite possibly a match turning, quickfire 50. Add 10 overs with the ball and you have the ultimate utility player.
The fifty of the partnership for the 7th wicket comes up off just 35 balls as Deepti errs with her lines again, going down towards the leg side and easy pickings for Gardner.
It's been a tough old night for Deepti Sharma. 70 runs in her 9 overs and she'd still have to come back for the 10th over presumably.
AUS 319/6 after 48 overs.
Gardner on the charge! That's another massive six over deep midwicket, Gardner is one of the most dangerous finishers in the game and she is showing why.
AUS 311/6 after 47 overs as Radha's over goes for 11 runs.
Amanjot comes on and bowls a gift to Gardner on the pads, easily put away for four. The 300 comes up with still 4 overs to go and Gardner in the middle.
Shankar from the venue: India bleeding runs as this partnership has got Australia back on track to getting a score closer to the 325-330-run mark. Wickets again the need of the hour
Gardner seemed like she mishit that shot but it sailed over the deep midwicket fence for six! Some power there.
But it marks the end of a fine spell from Sree Charani, who registers superb figures of 2/49 from her 10 overs.
Just four singles in Deepti's over as Australia inch closer to 300. You felt Gardner might take Deepti on in that over with the favouable matchup. But Deepti managed to not give her the room to free her arms.
A lot of what Australia will get from here on will depend on Gardner. She needs to stay till the 50th for Australia to get 330-340 mark, which still will be many for India, considering this is a final. And as the first innings has shown here India has to get a good start in the powerplay.
McGrath falls cheaply yet again. India have been superb in the last 10 overs. A chance to try and prevent Australia from batting out the 50 overs.
Tahlia McGrath hasn't been among the runs in this tournament, but with only 10 overs to go has the chance to play a defining knock.
The noticeable thing here is that as the ball got softer, hitting has become a tad bit tougher. The ball is taking a bit of turn, especially for those spinners who are giving revolutions to the ball. Australia have to play this phase smartly here as they might end up doing all the good work Litchfield has done.
Radha Yadav does the job. India continue to peg Australia back. Perry tries to cut the ball, but it skids on and the batter misses and is bowled. A fine knock from the veteran though.
N Shree Charani’s quick rise from Women’s Premier League to the Indian team has its roots in her uncle’s mid-day hobby of playing cricket. Kishore Reddy worked at the Rayalseema Thermal Power Station (RTPC), which is about 35 km away from his native place, Yerramala Palle, a small village in Kadapa district. He used to stay at his uncle – Charani’s father – Chandra Shekar Reddy’s place in the RTPC quarters. (Read more from Tanishq Vaddi)
The last boundary came in the final delivery of the 34th over. India have pulled things back well, with Charani leading the way.
The wickets are coming now for India. That was a soft dismissal as Sutherland gives a simple return catch to Sree Charani. However, the depth in this team is scary and India can ill afford to take it easy, just yet.
Here’s how Ian Bishop called Pheobe Litchfield’s sensational century in the ICC Women’s World Cup semifinal against India at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday. “The phenom named Phoebe went viral on social media at the age of 16, batting in a nets session. And six years later, she brings up her first World Cup hundred, a semifinal knock of the highest class.” (Read more)
A wicket India needed, with another stand growing. Mooney falls trying to hit an inside out shot over the longer boundary,. but mistimes it and is caught by Rodrigues at cover.
The one thing India will need to do well while batting is use the shorter side of the ground to great effect. They have tried protect that side of the ground as well as they can, yet Australia have dominated with the bat.
Smriti and harman having a chat even as Amanjot begins another over
At the end of the 15th over during England’s batting innings in Indore on Sunday, when drinks were called on the field, Harmanpreet Kaur’s frustration was evident. She was caught on camera, gesturing to Richa Ghosh, using her palms back and forth between her ears, to keep her attention fixed on the line of the stumps when keeping wickets. Because, at the start of the over, Kranti Gaud bowled a terrific in-dipper to Tammy Beaumont which zoned in on the England opener’s legs. The ball thudded into the front pad and trickled down to fine leg – usually a sign the ball is sliding down. But in Beaumont’s case, because of her age-old weakness against the incoming deliveries, she was moving across significantly and playing almost with an off-middle guard. Gaud turned to the umpire and pleaded for a favourable call, but that was about all the interest India showed in that dismissal because Ghosh was busy chasing after the ball as England ran two leg byes. (Read more from Vinayakk Mohanarangan)
What a waste of a review. Wonder what Ghosh saw from behind to even tell her captain and the rest of her teammates. But in some ways, it sums up India's day.
That was the only way India looked like getting Litchfield out. A sensational knock on the big day. The sixth bowler does the job.
Nitin Sharma: Prior to the World Cup, when Australia posted their highest ever total of 412 runs against India in women’s ODIs in the third ODI at Delhi, they were placed at 178 for 2 at the halfway stage. Beth Moneey scored a fluent 138 in that match with Elysee Parry scoring 68 runs. Today, Australia are 159 for 1 at the halfway stage with Mooney yet to come to bat. Will Australia surpass the record score of 412 runs today? It has to be seen
Harman and Deepti having a brief chat after that straight six from Litchfield. India in a lot of bother here
Aged 22y 195d, she is the youngest to hit a century in a Women’s WC knockout game, and the second-youngest for Australia in the competition’s history
Needs to be reminded that India have not picked the 2nd off spin option in Sneh Rana today. Whether Shafali comes on or Harman bowls a few overs to try and get that second wicket remains to be seen.
What a magnificent knock. An offside masterclass. India have not looked like getting Phoebe Litchfield out today. Things looking very ominous for the hosts.
Shafali Verma did bowl during training. Wonder if an over or two might be incoming soon.
For the 2nd time today, Amanjot merely used to change ends. Radha Yadav bowling from the dressing room end now.
India have had to deal with outside edges of those kind going for boundaries as well, today. There hasn't been a section of the offside which Litchfield has not scored a boundary in.
India needs to find a way to get a breakthrough here. The way Australia are batting here in the middle, this score can be anything. Litchfield is in her 90s here. She has been peppering that offside boundary throughout the day, and India continued to feed her in that region. India re in a bit of a pickle here.
Ghosh, Yadav and Harman come together for a chat after that over. India have a lot to think on how to go about stemming the flow of runs.
You could see that shot coming. There is no pace on the ball and with a strong offside field in place, the paddle was a useful option to go for. The one boundary in the over that has been so consistent just keeps coming from different areas of the ground
As the record for most sixes is broken, what’s the story behind the evolution of six-hitting in the women’s game? More in our interview here:
Smriti Mandhana having a word with Radha Yadav on the way to the other end.
RECORD: Before the drama of the Phoebe Litchfield out or not out scenes, a significant shot. As she danced down the ground and hit one over extra cover, it was the 112th six of the World Cup, the most in a single edition of the tournament's history.
Well, we have had an incident here. Litchfield reverse-swept one, which did go to the fine-leg, and Sree Charani, the bowler and the Indian side claimed the wicket, and the on-field umpire gave it out; however, they have decided to check that as Litchfield was walking back and the ball bounced after Litchfield swept one. So the right decision was made at the end.
The excitement doubles down in the venue as Litchfield survives the umpire's review. India in need of a second wicket with this stand looking increasingly threatening.
Vinayakk: Phoebe Litchfield loves batting in India. She has scored 575+ runs at an average of 72.00 at the moment with a century and total of six 50-plus scores in just 10 innings. Her record in Australia is 396 runs in 14 innings at an average of 33. She also has six 50-plus scores against India, more than any other opponent.
A brilliant knock. India have kept a 6-3 offside field, almost right through the innings for Litchfield. But she has taken the bait and gone over the top as well as pierced the field comfortably.
Only two overs of spin so far but Harman has got both Charani and Deepti from the right ends and with more fielders on the shorter side, there is a comfort factor for the bowlers even if they look to hit it with the spin
Well, well, that partnership has flown. Litchfield and Perry have put on a 50-run stand in no time. After the wicket of Healy, India had the opportunity to take a break, control the emotions and stick to some accurate bowling, which did not happen. They kept bowling deliveries outside the off-stump, who kept peppering that side of the fence for boundaries.
Perry taking her time to settle in. This is an opportunity for India to keep her on strike and pile up the dots. The line a lot straighter for her
Litchfield has got to a flyer here. She is playing quite a magnificent innings here. This is a very quick start for Australia. While there has been some moment on offer, India has sprayed the ball all over at times and they are paying for their inaccuracy as of now. They need to pick Litchfield here the way she is batting if she continues to stay till the 30th over Australia might be looking to post a massive total.
India paying the price for bowling it full outside off stump and Litchfield making the most of it. Has been an offside exhibition so far.
This has been good from India after the break, barring that unnecessary overthrow. Ghosh comes up for Renuka.
Litchfield has not missed a single chance to pounce on anything wide. India might be better off bowling straighter at her.
Perry has walked into the middle. The sun is shining bright here again. It will be interesting to see how that spell of rain will have an impact on conditions and the ball. Kranti Gaud has found her length here. She is bowling nicely.
The sun is out, there are even blue clouds emerging from behind and the Indians are making their way in again
Play to resume at 3:40, no overs lost
THE DAY after Kranti Gaud wins the player-of-the match award for her three wickets against Pakistan in the ICC Women’s World Cup game in Colombo, her family in Ghuwara, a nagar panchayat in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, receives the ultimate honour. The narrator at the ongoing Shiv Mahapuran Katha in Ghuwara praises Kranti, India’s newest 22-year-old pace sensation, from the dais in front of a 5,000-strong congregation.
“Sirf Ghuwara ko iss beti pe ghamand nahin hai, aaj pure Bharat ko iss beti pe ghamand hai (Not just people in Ghuwara, the entire nation is proud of Kranti),” says “Maharaj ji” Vipin Bihari, a popular preacher in Bundelkhand who has clocked a lakh subscribers on his YouTube channel. (Read more from Nihal Koshie)
Vinayakk: Kranti Gaud dismissed Alyssa Healy thrice in three matches in the recent bilateral series. And then Healy went after her in Vizag. The Aussie captain spoke in the PC about wanting to ‘lock into a contest’ with Kranti in Vizag and she had done just that, targetting the Indian pacers in that run-chase but especially not letting Kranti settle in. And now in the semifinal, Kranti provides the big early breakthrough! It’s the wobble seam, the ball came in just a little bit and Healy’s defence is breached. Big roar from Kranti.
Kranti Gaud 4-1 Alyssa Healy
Covers are coming off now.
The rain has stopped and it's suddenly gotten bright now. Covers still on
Healy falls but it has started to rain heavily at the stadium. The groundstaff rush in with the covers.
Mihir Vasavada: There's a big dark cloud hovering over the stadium and it's gotten very gloomy here and windy. The crowd in the lowest tier have rushed in to find seats in the shaded areas... And it's started pouring. Just as india got the first wicket
Vinayakk: After her epic century against India in Vizag when Australia registered a record run-chase, Alyssa Healy spoke about her shaky form.
"If you've been watching me in the nets, it's been a frustrating experience because I feel like I've had no rhythm whatsoever, been struggling to find it, and I didn't really know where it went before I came into the World Cup. But I think once you step out on the field, your competitive instincts kick in and you kind of just lock into getting in the contest.”
Today, she has looked tentative and edgy and that dropped catch might just be the kick she needed to get going again. Remember, she loves batting against India at the World Cups.
The Indian and Australian women’s teams wore black armbands during their high-octane ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 semifinal clash at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday as a tribute to Ben Austin, the 17-year-old Australian cricketer who passed away on the cricket field on Thursday morning.
Teenager Ben Austin succumbed to his injuries and died, which he sustained in the cricket nets earlier in the week. The aspiring cricketer hailing from Melbourne was hit by a ball thrown by the wanger (A device to throw the ball before the game). Austin, although he was wearing a helmet but was not wearing a stem guard, head of Cricket Victoria Nick Cummins confirmed. “The ball hit him in the neck in a similar accident that Phil Hughes suffered 10 years ago,” Cummins said. (Read more)
With Healy looking rusty, Litchfield clearly being the more aggressive of the two batters. Still very cloudy overhead, but no rain yet
India have set a stronger offside field in the early stages of the match. For the RHB from where we are sitting, the leg side boundary is bigger.
What a massive letoff and so early into the semifinal. It seemed like Harmanpreet Kaur tried to celebrate a second or two early instead of holding on to the ball. Healy has a looked a bit rusty so far.
We are done with the opening over here. There is a bit of swing and seam moment on offer for Renuka Singh here, first up. But she has not been as accurate to the right-hander Healy as to the left-hander Phoebe. If India has to make the most of the conditions, it needs to get their accuracy right. Kranti Gaud has taken the ball from the other end, and more or less it is the same; she has to hit the right lines and lengths to extract the help that is on offer. It will be interesting to see how India uses their three seamers in today's game.
Mihir Vasavada: Both teams are wearing black armbands as tribute to Ben Austin, the Australian cricketer who died on Thursday morning on the cricket field.
The sun has gone hiding. There is a dark cloud right above the venue.
Well, the national anthems are done. There is quite a healthy crowd; if not for the rain prediction, the weather looks ideal for cricket today. The Indian new ball bowlers will get a hint of swing because of the humidity; however, if the Aussies see off the new ball, these are one of the best conditions to bat on in the country.
Lower stands of the stadium filling up faster than the upper stands.
We were looking to bat first, if we get early breakthrough that would be great for us. We know this pitch, we had so many camps here and also played our last 2 games here. Whenever we play Australia, we talk about going with a fearless mindset. Unfortunately, Pratika is not there because of her injury. Shafali comes in for her. Richa and Kranti are back for Uma and Harleen.
We gonna have bat. Great conditions here and opportunity for us to put runs on the board. I am grateful for the opportunity to get that 10-day break for the rehab. It is a semi final and it's basically whoever plays better will get the result. Just one other change. Sophie Molineux comes in for Wareham.
Amanjot Kaur listed to bat at 3, while her best batting performance in this World Cup has come down the order. Hopefully, there would some flexibility on that front if the need arose for it.
With pitch no. 1 in use, the boundary dimensions are a bit unequal. The ones to my left are shorter as compared to my right. Will be interesting to see how Harman uses both the left-arm spinners against a right-hand heavy middle and lower order of Australia.
Vinayakk: OK wow, didn't see that coming. Shafali Verma replacing Pratika Rawal turns out to be the least surprising move. After playing against Bangladesh both Amanjot Kaur and Radha Yadav stay in the XI. Radha hadn’t played till then in the tournament. Good news for India also that Richa Ghosh is back in place of Uma Chetry. The big news is that Harleen Deol is finally out of the XI. It makes you wonder about the team’s selections so far and how much conviction they had in those calls

Vinayakk: The story goes that there was no proper food available that morning in Derby before the 2017 semifinal, in what was a rain-curtailed match. “I remember that there was no proper food when we walked into the dressing room. We were all upset,” Veda Krishnamurthy, who was there unbeaten at the end with Harmanpreet that day, told The Indian Express. Harmanpreet was also nursing a shoulder injury that had been bothering her for a while. But when she came out to bat, she batted like she had been possessed by cricketing gods. Especially after reaching her century, it felt like no one could stop her. It was like she was taking out her frustrations on the ball.
“These are special knocks that didn’t happen every day in India. It just put a whole different perception on women’s cricket. I think that is why it is so huge. It came at the right time for the fact that we could obviously reach the finals with that. The whole plan that we wanted to achieve was to get into the knockouts first for us to have that recognition back home.”
Vinayakk Mohanarangan: Meg Lanning is one of the greatest captains the game of cricket has ever seen. She led Australia to four T20 World Cup titles and one in the ODI format. But it should have been two. Australia were overwhelming favourites for the 2017 edition. However, India’s Harmanpreet Kaur smashed an unbeaten 171* off 115 balls in the semifinal at County Ground in Derby that will forever be remembered as the innings that redefined women’s cricket in India
Ironically enough, the impact of that match was much more significant for Australia. They haven’t lost at the ODI World Cup EVEN ONCE since that day in Derby.
In September 2017 – just a few weeks after that July day in Derby – the Aussie squad got together in a meeting room at Brisbane’s National Cricket Centre and rewatched Harmanpreet’s innings. “It was a bit of embarrassment; when you’re used to success and people are expecting success and it doesn’t turn out like that, it can be quite confronting,” Australia coach Matthew Mott told cricket.com.au about that day. “But it is one we all look back on now and go, ‘that was the moment where we actually looked inside and looked at our team, warts and all’. It’s funny how you almost need those crucible moments, where everything pulls back to that point to start the trajectory

India in a huddle. Perhaps some final few words being spoken before the countdown for the toss begins. The sun is out at the stadium
Nitin Sharma: Ellyse Perry’s 5 for 19 against India at Wankhede in 2012 remains the best bowling figures for any bowlers in the women’s ODIS between India and Australia. Deepti Sharma’s 5 for 38 at Wankhede Stadium in 2023 is the best bowling figure by any Indian bowler against Australia in women’s ODIS.
Nitin Sharma: Harmanpreet Kaur’s unbeaten knock of 171 runs in the 2017 World Cup semi-final against Australia at Derby remains the highest individual score in women’s ODIS between India and Australia. Alyssa Healey’s knock of 142 runs against India in this World Cup is the highest score by any Australian batter against India in women’s ODIs.
Nitin Sharma: The lowest win margin by runs for a team in Women’s ODIs between India and Australia is three runs, when Alyssa Healey led Australian team scored a three-run win over Harmanpreet Kaur led Indian team in a women’s ODI at Wankhede Stadium in 2023. Australia had posted a total of 258 runs batting first with India falling short of the target by three runs.
Nitin Sharma: The largest win margin by runs for a team in Women’s ODIs between India and Australia is 221 runs, when the Jodie Fields led Australian team scored a 221-run win over Anjum Chopra led Indian team at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in 2012. India’s largest win margin runs is 102 runs, when the Indian team scored a 102-run win over Australia in the second Women’s ODI at Mullanpur prior to the World Cup this year.
Sneh Rana who was given a rest against Bangladesh is having a bowl.
Nitin Sharma: The lowest total in women’s ODIs between India and Australia is 74 scored by India at Auckland in 1982. Australia’s lowest total against India is 77 scored at Chennai in 2004.
Nitin Sharma: The highest total in women’s ODIs between India and Australia is 412 scored by Australia in the third Women’s ODI of the three match WDIs series played at Delhi prior to the World Cup. India’s highest total in Women’s ODIs came in the same match, where the Indian team posted a total of 369 runs.
Nitin Sharma: India and Australia have faced each other 60 times in women’s ODIs. Australia have won in 49 out of those with Indian winning 11 matches. In the last 11 women’s ODIs between the two countries, India has won only one match with the win coming in the second women’s ODI of the three-match series at Mullanpur prior to the World Cup. The last time the two teams met in a World Cups imi-final was in the 2017 women’s ODI World Cup semi-final at Derby, when the Mithali Raj led Indian team scored a 36-run win over Australia to enter the final. Harmanpreet Kaur played an unbeaten knock of 171 during the match to set u the historic win for India.
Ellyse Perry who hasn't bowled a lot in this World Cup is having a bowl. Remains to be seen if she bowls a few overs today.
Richa Ghosh keeping wickets with less than an hour to go for the toss
A lot brighter now as both teams set up their nets for one last prep
Alyssa Healy (c/wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Kim Garth, Alana King, Megan Schutt
First visuals from the D.Y.Patil stadium and the sun has gone into hiding. Cloudy but no rain
12:30: a steady drizzle had picked up at the stadium with 2 hrs still go for the toss
Hello and welcome to our live blog of India taking on Australia. It is going to be an electric contest. We have seen the last time these two sides have met it was a high-scoring thrilling affair and with the form both these sides are in we might expect the more or less the same. It is a red-soil Mumbai wicket at the end of the day expect quite a bit of runs today.
The neighborhood where Indian cricket all-rounder Deepti Sharma grew up in Avadhpuri Colony, Agra, has been transformed and renamed the "Deepti Sharma Marg" as a tribute to her receiving the prestigious Arjuna Award in 2020. The decision to improve the roads and rename the street came after the award, turning the locality into a significant and proud community landmark. As her brother, Sumit Sharma, notes, the area is now universally known as the place where Deepti lives, symbolizing the immense respect and pride the community has for their celebrated cricketer.
