In the semi-finals of the Women’s World Cup 2025, the Indian team will face Australia, which has won the most World Cup titles. Australia was the first team to reach the semi-finals of this edition, while Team India faltered and made it here. If we look at the head to head figures, Alyssa Haley and team have the upper hand.
When Indian women and Australia women’s team faced each other in the group stage, Alyssa Healy was the player of the match, who played a brilliant inning of 142 runs in 107 balls. On one side is Australia, which is known for its brilliant performance on the big stage, while on the other is Team India, which falls apart in such big matches. But it is expected that this time history will change, India will defeat Australia and reach the finals.
Australia has reached the World Cup finals 9 times
Australia women’s cricket team has reached the final of the ODI World Cup 9 times. Australia has become champion 7 times, whereas it happened only 2 times when the team lost in the final. Australia’s excellent history in knockouts makes it a favourite, but this time Team India can win in home conditions.
India has defeated Australia once in the semi-finals
The Indian women’s cricket team has reached the finals of the ODI World Cup twice, although the team never won the title. For the first time, India won the semi-finals in 2005, when the team defeated New Zealand. But Australia defeated India in the final. For the second time, India won the semi-finals in 2017, when only Australia was in front. In this match, Harmanpreet Kaur played an unbeaten inning of 171 runs, Deepti Sharma took 3 wickets. Both players will also play in this semi-final.
