India, who lost their previous match after coming close to victory, will face seven-time champions Australia in the toughest match of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, October 12.
Harmanpreet Kaur-led India are coming off their first defeat of the campaign, going down to South Africa by three wickets in a hard-fought contest. Despite the loss, the hosts remain third on the points table with two wins from three matches, and will be looking to bounce back in front of home fans.
Meanwhile, defending champions Australia continue to dominate. After a shaky start against Pakistan, where they were struggling to 76/7, Beth Mooney's superb century guided them to a remarkable 107-run victory. The Aussies currently sit atop the table and remain unbeaten.

India Women vs Australia Women Match Prediction
If we look at the team strength and head-to-head record, Australia Women are the clear favorite in the 13th match of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025. Australia’s top order led Alyssa Healy and Phoebe Litchfield, who can give an explosive start, whereas Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner gave stability and power in the middle-order.
Annabel Sutherland's all-around skills add extra value; this makes the Australia Women's Team a perfect and balanced squad for this tournament. On the other hand, India Women will heavily depend on captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Smrit Mandhana. If both stood for long, then India could challenge Australia.
