India Women is taking on Australia Women on October 12, 2025, and the match is being played at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam. Australia Women captain Alyssa Healy won the toss and chose to bowl first.
Smriti Mandhana (80) and Pratika Rawal (75) added 155 runs for the first wicket inside 25 overs. Harleen Deol (38) and Harmanpreet Kaur (22) kept the runs flowing, but their dismissals hurt India badly.
While Jemimah Rodrigues (33) and Richa Ghosh (32) helped India go past 320, their target of reaching 350-plus fell short. India women were bowled out for 330 runs. Annabel Sutherland took 5/40, while Sophie Molineux took three wickets.
In response, Alyssa Healy slammed a brilliant century to keep the Australian motor going. Phoebe Litchfield made 40, while Ellyse Perry retired hurt for 32.
However, their wickets proved to give India a huge boost, and then Jemimah Rodrigues did something unbelievable to send back Beth Mooney. On the second ball of the 27th over, by Deepti Sharma, Mooney came down the track and hit the ball towards mid-off in the air.
Rodrigues, stationed near mid-off, made a big dive and grabbed the ball mid-air to send back the dangerous Aussie batter for just four runs.
