India W vs Australia W, Women's World Cup 2025: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report

India Women are facing Australia Women in match number 13 of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The Women in Blue began their campaign with two wins before going down to South Africa in their previous match. As for Australia, they have won both their completed games, while one match has been abandoned due to rain.

India need to be at their best to compete with Australia in what will be a crucial World Cup clash. Their batters just haven't come to the party, with the likes of Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues failing to make any kind of an impact. They have been heavily dependent on keeper-batter Richa Ghosh to keep them in the contest.

India Women have done a much better job with the ball. However, South Africa exposed their weaknesses in the previous match. Chasing a target of 252, they recovered from 81-5 to get home by three wickets. This is something the Women in Blue should be wary of as they have some big matches coming up.

Today's IND W vs AUS W pitch report

“The pitch looks quite dry, which means it will favor the batters, but spinners will come into play as the match progresses. It's not going to be a one-way traffic. The surface looks hard, good for batters. Bowlers need to hit the right lengths, keep the stumps in play.” - Mithali Raj
