India will square off against their biggest rival Australia in match number 13 of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 league stages. The two teams will renew their fierce rivalry on Sunday, October 12 at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Vishakhapatnam and add another chapter in their historic rivalry.
Harmanpreet Kaur's side experienced a major slump against South Africa in their 3rd league stage match, right after beating Sri Lanka and Pakistan in their first two matches. That loss to the Proteas exposed the areas which still requires improvement and once again brought India's inability to handle pressure against big oppositions into the spotlight.
India will have to learn from their mistakes against South Africa and make amends when they step out to lock horns with Australia, who are unbeaten in the tournament so far. If the Indians win, this will only be their 4th victory against the Aussies in 50-over World Cup editions.
