India vs Australia Womens’ world cup 2025 2nd semifinal: Match Preview
This clash is a contest between the pedigree and dominance of the seven-time champions, Australia, and the home-crowd advantage and historical resilience of the Indian side. While Australia enters the match having steamrolled all their opponents, including a victory over India in the group stage, India have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in their batting, and will be motivated to repeat their iconic 2017 semi-final upset.
Australia are favorites due to their all-round balance and impeccable form, further boosted by the return of captain and star opener Alyssa Healywho has been dominant against India. The combination of Healy, Ellyse Perry and leading wicket-taker Annabel Sutherland gives them unmatched depth. India, under Harmanpreet Kaur‘s leadership, will rely on their explosive openers, Smriti Mandhana and new inclusion Shafali Vermato provide a platform, while the spin duo will be tasked with controlling the powerful Australian middle order.
DY Patil Sports Academy Pitch Report
The DY Patil Sports Academy pitch report suggests a surface highly conducive to batting, featuring good bounce and consistent pace that allows stroke-makers to play freely. However, the surface has also supported high first-innings totals, with the team batting first holding a historical advantage here, making the toss a crucial factor. Fast bowlers may find a little movement with the new ball, but the spinners, such as Australia’s Alana King and India’s Deepti Sharma and Sneh Ranaare expected to play a key role in the middle overs.
