India Women vs Australia Women: The 13th match of the Women’s World Cup 2025 will feature a highly dynamic battle where Team India will face off against the unbeaten Australian side of the tournament.

Both teams have played three games so far in the ongoing Women’s World Cup. However, Australia, apart from their abandoned game against Sri Lanka, managed to secure dominating wins against New Zealand and Pakistan.

On the other hand, India had a positive start to the tournament by winning back-to-back games against the Lankans and Pakistanis. But a 3-wicket loss to South Africa pressurizes Harmanpreet Kaur and her team to get back to winning ways.

The pitches in Visakhapatnam are batter-friendly for the first innings, but eventually get converted into spin-friendly for the second half of the game.

However, the rainy weather conditions at this venue are likely to influence the nature of the pitch such that the chasing teams benefit under the lights.

Analyzing the latest weather reports, the toss-winning captain should prefer bowling first to chase targets between 250 and 300 conveniently, as the dew factor is expected to play a crucial role in the second innings.

Expected Playing XI Combination for India Women vs Australia Women

While Australia is expected to maintain its same starting XI, India is likely to make at least a single change to their bowling line-up following a humiliating loss to the Proteas in their recent game:
