India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: Australia captain Alyssa Healy and her Indian counterpart Harmanpreet Kaur react to the nail-biter in Navi Mumbai

Healy: “Good contest in the end. Probably reflecting on that, we did that to ourselves a little bit, probably the first time. Did not finish with the bat well, did not bowl that great, dropped chances in the field. But ultimately, outdone in the end. We thought we had half-done the job. Left a few (runs) out there. (Felt) If we could execute with the ball and take our chances, we were still in the game. India played really well, held their nerve really well and got themselves across the line. Weird experience for me to stand there and see the next generation go about it. she (Litchfield) was sensational. Set us off really nicely. Was able to cash in with a hundred. Kudos to her. Fun to watch her, and the next four years leading up to the next World Cup will be fun to watch.”

Harmanpreet: “Very proud. I don’t have words how to express myself. Feeling great, this time we have crossed that line which we have been working towards for so many years. We spoke to each other (with the coach) that we have done this because we have been working so hard. Both of us are really proud of this team. We have that trust that any player can win any match from any situation. Made few mistakes but we have been learning from our mistakes. Today, wanted everything to go in our favour in every situation, and kept telling ourselves to be there for the team, and that worked for us. That day (against England) we realized we did not execute well. We were late by 2-3 overs, could have taken risks a few overs earlier and that cost us. That is what we discussed, that we have to be calculative. Once you are out of the game, it is hard to come back. I know it is 50 overs but the last five overs is where you have to be very particular and calculative. We knew what we had to do in the same situation and we wanted to finish it before the 50th over. She (Rodrigues) is someone who always wants to do well for the team. Always very calculative and wants to take responsibility. We always have that trust on her. Both of us had a good time on the pitch. Whenever we were batting, we were complementing each other and calculating. Really enjoy batting with her. She is always telling me we got five runs, seven runs, two balls are left. That shows how involved she is. Amazed to see how she was thinking. Lots of credit to her, to hold her nerve and keep batting for the team.”

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: Australia's unbeaten run in Women's World Cups finally comes to an end!

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: Jemimah Rodrigues is the Player of the Match for her magnificent 127 not out at the DY Patil Stadium!

“I want to thank Jesus, could not do this on my own. I want to thank my mom, dad and coach and every single person who believed in me. It was really hard this last month, it feels like a dream and it still has not sunk in. Did not know I was batting at three. Was taking a shower, just told them to let me know. Five minutes before entering in, I was told I was batting at three. Not about me, wanted to win this match for India, and wanted to take this through,” Rodrigues says during the presentation.

“Today was not about my fifty or my hundred, about making India win. Everything that happened so far, was a setup for this. Last year, I was dropped from this World Cup. I was in good form. But things kept happening back-to-back, and could not control anything. I have almost cried every day through this tour. Not doing well mentally, going through anxiety. I knew I had to show up, and God took care of everything,” she adds.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: FOUR! WIDE FOUR! Less than run-a-ball needed now for Team India!

Rodrigues collects back-to-back boundaries off Sutherland at a crucial stage – going for a cheeky lap towards fine leg before playing a square cut next up. And the two boundaries are separated by a wide – the result of pressure! IND 331/5 after 48; need 8 off 12
October 30, 2025, 22:36:11 (IST)

October 30, 2025, 22:33:35 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: OUT! Richa Ghosh's cameo finally comes to an end as she departs for 26 off 16!

She was looking to end Sutherland’s penultimate over with a boundary after each of the previous five deliveries had fetched only a single. The seamer, however, had taken pace off completely.

October 30, 2025, 22:27:08 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: SIX! FOUR! Richa steers India past 300 with a couple of big hits off Gardner!

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: OUT! Deepti Sharma nowhere in the picture at the striker's end as she's run-out for 24

Deepti’s not the quickest between the wickets, and setting off for such a risky single wasn’t the wisest of decisions to begin with. End of a 38-run stand for the fourth wicket that was starting to frustrate the Aussies. In walks Richa Ghosh, who is a lot faster and is also explosive with the bat. IND 264/4 after 41; need 75 off 54
October 30, 2025, 22:05:58 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: India need 82 to win off 60 balls with 7 wickets in hand!

At the crease are Jemimah Rodrigues – who’s one hit away from a memorable century – and Deepti Sharma. The latter is batting on 18 off 14.

October 30, 2025, 21:50:52 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: OUT! Harmanpreet Kaur's superb knock finally comes to an end as Ash Gardner's brilliant catch denies her a century!

Things had not been going Australia’s way for quite some time now, with Healy dropping a catch and the defending champions later burning a review after an unsuccessful LBW appeal – with Rodrigues the batter in question on both occasions. Harmanpreet, meanwhile, had accelerated brilliantly after bringing up her fifty, and was looking set for a century. End of a mammoth third-wicket stand that’s ultimately worth 167.

It took Australia a moment of brilliance to deny the India captain that milestone. India still have plenty of batting left, with senior all-rounder Deepti Sharma joining a well-set Jemimah Rodrigues. IND 230/3 after 36; need 109 off 84

October 30, 2025, 21:19:11 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: FIFTY UP FOR HARMANPREET KAUR! Her 22nd on ODIs, and her second in the ongoing World Cup!

The India skipper brings up the milestone with a single off Ashleigh Gardner in the 29th over. consuming 65 deliveries along the way. Harman shifts gears in the following over, smashing Tahlia McGrath over wide long off for her first maximum of the evening.

October 30, 2025, 21:07:41 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: The partnership between Rodrigues and Harmanpreet goes past the century mark at the halfway stage!

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur brings up the milestone with a boundary off Kim Garth, who is brought back at the halfway stage of the Indian chase in order to break this partnership. Rodrigues is well set and is batting in the 60s while Harmanpreet is a hit away from her half-century.

This has been some fightback by the two senior Indian batters after the Women in Blue lost both openers inside the powerplay in their chase of an improbable 339-run target. And India will be hoping that these two stick around for a while longer, and that at least one of them stays till the end. IND 163/2; need 176 off 144

October 30, 2025, 20:45:19 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: FOUR! Jemimah Rodrigues brings up her second consecutive half-century in style!

Rodrigues gets down on one knee and sweeps the ball towards the fence between deep square leg and deep midwicket, beating a diving fielder in front of the rope. The Indian No 3, however, is nearly dismissed by King in the following delivery after chipping the ball towards extra cover, where Litchfield leaps to her right and nearly pulls off a stunner.

She builds a solid third-wicket stand with captain Harmanpreet that’s currently worth 65, and has revived India’s hopes of chasing down the improbable target. IND 124/2 after 21; need 215 off 174

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: OUT! MASSIVE WICKET FOR THE AUSSIES AS KIM GARTH GETS RID OF SMRITI MANDHANA (24)

Alyssa Healy appeals for caught-behind after Kim Garth, who bowls a fifth over on the trot and fires one down leg to Smriti Mandhana after switching to round the wicket. The umpire signals wide and the bowler herself is unsure about it, with Mandhana appearing confident. Healy, however, trusts her instinct and signals for a review.

Turns out to be a brilliant decision by the Aussie captain, with a faint spike on Ultra-Edge forcing the on-field umpire to reverse her decision. Mandhana can barely believe what she’s seeing on the giant screen as she makes the slow walk back to the dugout.

India 60/2 at the end of the powerplay, and they need another 279 to win off 240 balls with eight wickets in hand.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: FOUR! Second boundary for Rodrigues in as many overs, and this one brings up India's fifty!

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: FOUR! Rodrigues shuffles to her right to play a cheeky lap off Garth!

The Indian No 3 later keeps the strike with a single off the final delivery of the over. The partnership between Mandhana and Rodrigues is worth 36 at the moment, and the Women in Blue will be hoping the two seniors remain at the centre for an extended period of time. IND 49/1 after 8; target: 339
October 30, 2025, 19:46:23 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: FOUR! Mandhana pierces the gap behind point to collect her first four

Schutt was starting to build pressure on the in-form opener with four consecutive dots in her fourth over. Mandhana, however, breaks the shackles with a boundary in the penultimate delivery. Would have collected back-to-back fours had it not been for Ellyse Perry’s agile dive at sweeper point in the final ball. IND 44/1 after 7; target: 339
October 30, 2025, 19:41:21 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: SIX! Mandhana stands tall and smashes the ball straight down the ground for the first maximum of the chase!

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: Another tidy over for Australia with Garth conceding just two in her second over

Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues are batting cautiously at the moment, and perhaps are looking to see out the remaining overs of the powerplay.

October 30, 2025, 19:30:29 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: Jemimah Rodrigues joins Smriti Mandhana at the centre, with India already under serious pressure

October 30, 2025, 19:28:33 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: OUT! Shafali lasts just five balls in her first appearance of the World Cup!

Kim Garth successfully appeals for LBW against Shafali Verma right after the opener goes for a lofted drive over cover to collect her second boundary. Verma signals for the review despite the fact that it looked plumb to the naked eye, and ends up burning it on her way to the dressing room with the ball shown to be hitting the leg stump. India needed a solid opening stand to set the tone after being set 339 to win, and now they have made the job all the more difficult for themselves. IND 15/1 after 2; target: 339
October 30, 2025, 19:22:10 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: FOUR! Shafali Verma collects the first boundary of the innings!

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: Phoebe Litchfield opens up on her game-changing century

“It was awesome for the personal milestone, but I think as a team perspective, it’s awesome to get over that 300 mark and put a competitive total on the board. I think just assessing the wicket, getting myself in, and then taking down the spinners when they put a ball in my area. But I think credit also goes to Pez (Perry) down the other end, keeping me going. And yeah, I think a full team effort there to get to 330 or whatever we got to,” says the young Australian opener during the innings break.

Garth is run-out two balls later for 17 while dashing back for a second run.

Australia’s innings isn’t very different from how India batted when these two teams had met in Vizag earlier in the tournament, with the Women in Blue losing wickets in a heap towards the end to get bowled out for 330.

Alana King walks in next, and she’s off the mark with a boundary! AUS 335/7 after 49
October 30, 2025, 18:31:22 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: 300 up for Australia and they still have four overs left in their innings!

Ashleigh Gardner is batting on 35 off 34 deliveries, collecting three fours and a six along the way. And the way she’s batting at the moment, the defending champions might end up setting a target close to 340. Kim Garth is batting on 12 off 11 at the other end and she too can pack a punch in the slog overs. AUS 300/6 after 46
October 30, 2025, 18:15:53 (IST)

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: OUT! India shine bright in the fielding department for once as Rodrigues runs McGrath (12) out at the striker's end!

McGrath responds to Gardner’s call for a risky single, and pays the price for ball-watching. Rodrigues, stationed at extra cover, collects the ball and throws it towards the keeper’s end in one swift motion to ensure McGrath falls well short.

And right after the sharp piece of fielding, India’s fielding woes come back to haunt them as five overthrows are conceded the very next ball. AUS 271/6 after 42

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: OUT! Shree Charani strikes at the cusp of the second drinks break as Beth Mooney departs for 24!

Mooney, who was scoring runs at more than run-a-ball during her brief stay at the centre, departs after chipping the ball towards cover while attempting to play a lofted shot off the left-arm spinner, with Rodrigues calmly collecting the ball at the edge of the circle.

Another wicket or two at this stage, especially that of Perry, could potentially turn the tide in India’s favour and help them restrict the defending champions to a score in the range of 300. AUS 220/3 after 34

Her partner Beth Mooney brings up Australia’s 200 with a boundary off Amanjot in the following over, with Perry smashing the ball over long on for her second six two balls later.

Australia have maintained a run-rate above six-an-over so far and have so far set things up nicely for going slam-bang in the death overs. AUS 207/2 after 34

India Women vs Australia Women Live Cricket Score: Phoebe Litchfield's marathon knock finally comes to an end after she is castled by Amanjot Kaur!

End of a mammoth 155-run stand for the second wicket, which could have ended much earlier had the Indians held on to their chances. AUS 180/2 after 27.2

Senior partner Perry, who had asked her to stay back for a review after being mistakenly adjudged out earlier in the innings, gives her a bear hug after Litchfield brings up the milestone. Australia, meanwhile, have already gone past 150 inside 25 overs, and the way things are progressing, a 350-plus score is surely on the cards! AUS 157/1 after 24

India Women vs Australia Women Semifinal Live Score: The big match is here as the Indian women’s cricket team clashes against mighty Australia in the semi-final of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday (30 October) . Remember, India are the only team to beat Australia in an ODI World Cup semi-final. That win came in 2017 at Derby with Harmanpreet Kaur making the famous 171 not out.

Indian women would hope to rewind the clock and script another upset against Australia, who are unbeaten in the 2025 ODI World Cup and a record seven-time champions. However, there are concerns over the availability of captain Alyssa Healy, who missed a few league games due to a calf strain.

India eye big upset against Australia women

India have never won a World Cup and this is a golden chance for them, even if they face a daunting task against Australia. Playing at home, India would hope to force their way into the final. And they will rely on their best players to pull off the big win today.

Shafali Verma is back for India as a result of injury to opener Pratika Rawal, and Smriti Mandhana has been a roaring form, having scored over 300 runs in seven matches so far. Deepti Sharma is among the highest wicket-takers in the tournament and players like Harmanpreet and Jemimah Rodrigues can prove to be the match-winner on any day.

The biggest threat, however, comes from the weather as there are chances of rain playing spoilsport during the game. A reserve day is also in place, but if the match gets washed out on both days, then Australia, who topped the league table, would qualify for the final.

India Women vs Australia Women Squads

India Women Squad: Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Deepti Sharma, Uma Chetry (wk), Amanjot Kaur, Radha Yadav, Shree Charani, Renuka Singh Thakur, Sneh Rana, Arundhati Reddy, Richa Ghosh (wk), Kranti Gaud

Australia Women Squad: Alyssa Healy © Georgia Voll, Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney (wk), Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Georgia Wareham, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt, Heather Graham, Darcie Brown, Alyssa Healy, Sophie Molineux
