India vs Australia: Big Test Awaits in Visakhapatnam
The Indian women’s cricket team is all set for a high-stakes showdown against Australia in the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025. The match will be played today, October 12 (Sunday), at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
After narrowly losing to South Africa, Team India will be eager to bounce back strong — and what better way than taking on Australia, their biggest rival on the world stage.
Interestingly, India had beaten Australia in a home ODI series earlier this year. That victory remains fresh in fans’ minds and could serve as a major confidence boost for Harmanpreet Kaur’s squad.
Australia Unbeaten So Far
Australia, on the other hand, are in ruthless form. The defending champions have remained unbeaten in the tournament so far, registering two convincing wins, while one of their matches got washed out due to rain.
Led by Alyssa Healy, the Aussies continue to dominate with both bat and ball, setting a tough challenge for India’s middle order, which struggled in the last game.
