Australia Women vs India Women LIVE: Streaming Link, Squad Updates & Real-Time Scorecard

The stakes couldn’t be higher as Australia Women lock horns with India Women in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 semi-final at Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium today. First ball was bowled at 3 pm IST (9.30 am GMT) after visiting skipper Alyssa Healy won the toss and chose to bat on a true-looking surface that promises runs in the afternoon heat. Live score snapshot (updated 16:15 IST) Australia 22/0 in 4 overs: Healy 12* (12), Mooney 9* (12); Renuka 2-0-12-0. Key match facts • Fixture: 2nd semi-final, ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 • Venue: DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai • Weather: Hot and humid; late-afternoon showers remain a slim possibility • Streaming/TV: Star Sports, Disney+ Hotstar (India); Fox Cricket, Kayo Sports (Australia) Why this rivalry matters Australia and India have met in the knock-out stage of every ICC women’s global event since 2017, with the Southern Stars triumphing in four of those five contests. India’s sole win came in the 2017 World Cup semi-final at Derby, where Harmanpreet Kaur’s iconic 171* stunned the six-time champions. Both captains admitted in the pre-match presser that “past scars and past glories mean nothing once the first ball is bowled,” but the narrative of revenge and redemption sells itself. Form guide • Australia W: WWWW-W (six wins, one wash-out in the group phase) • India W: WWWL-W (second in Group B after falling to England) India’s bowling has been powered by left-arm spinner Radha Yadav’s 15 wickets, while Australia’s batting depth—Beth Mooney and Ellyse Perry average 70+—has been the talk of the tournament. Players to watch • Alyssa Healy: averaging 64 this World Cup; quick starts often decide Australia’s tone. • Harmanpreet Kaur: has 470 runs in World Cup knock-outs—the most by any batter. • Pooja Vastrakar: India’s workhorse seamer has picked 12 power-play wickets, second only to England’s Katherine Sciver-Brunt. • Ashleigh Gardner: economy 3.4 and strike rate 22 with the ball; India’s middle order struggles against spin. Pitch & conditions The DY Patil strip is a fresh red-soil deck layered with a light grass covering. Captains at this venue prefer chasing, but Healy backed her batters to post a total above 270, reckoning the surface might slow later. Dew is unlikely before 7 pm, which could neutralise India’s spin trio. Head-to-head record (ODIs) • Played 54 • Australia won 42 • India won 11 • No Result 1 What the captains said Healy: “We know India have a point to prove at home, but we thrive on big-match energy.” Kaur: “We’ve learned from Cape Town last year; belief is our biggest weapon now.” How to follow live • Ball-by-ball commentary: BBC Sport, Cricbuzz, ESPNcricinfo • Social media hashtags: #INDvAUS, #CWC25, #SheTheGame Road to the final The winner faces defending champions England, who edged South Africa by three wickets in yesterday’s thriller at Eden Park.
