Australia Women and Pakistan Women will take on each other in the ninth game of the ongoing Women’s World Cup 2025, at the R Premadasa in Colombo on October 8, Wednesday. The Aussie women will aim to continue their winning run in the tournament with a win against Pakistan Women.
Australia Women have been in a decent run of form, with three wins and a defeat, alongside an abandoned game in their last five Women’s ODIs. Their previous game against Sri Lanka Women was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain. Before that, they registered an 89-run win against NZ Women in their campaign openers in the ongoing World Cup. Before that, they defeated the India Women by 43 runs and secured a 2-1 win in the three-match ODI series. So, they will aim to continue their brilliant form in this game against Pakistan Women to secure their second success in the tournament.
Speaking of Pakistan Women, they have been through a miserable run of form in their last five Women’s ODIs, with four defeats and only one win in their last five games. In the current Women’s World Cup edition, they are coming off two successive defeats, including the 88-run defeat against India Women, following a 7-wicket defeat against Bangladesh Women in their campaign opener. They will be eyeing a comeback in the tournament with a win against the Australia Women in this game.
IND-W: W L W W A
PAK-W: L L W L L
Australia Women have completely dominated Pakistan Women in the last five Women’s ODIs in their head-to-head rivalry. The Aussie Women have won all five games against the Women in Green. So, they will aim to win this game and continue their dominance against Fatima Sana and Co.
It will be a typical Premadasa surface, slow but true, offering some turn later on. A bit tacky early, rewarding patience.
It is expected to be a hot and humid evening in Colombo on Wednesday, with slight dew expected in the second innings.
Australia Women will look forward to going ahead with their same playing XI, considering their winning combination for their campaign opener in the game against New Zealand Women.
On the other hand, the Pakistan Women might make a few changes in their bowling attack to register their first win in the ongoing Women’s World Cup 2025.
Australia Women Probable XI: Alyssa Healy (C&WK), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Kim Garth, Alana King, and Darcie Brown.
Pakistan Women Probable XI: Muneeba Ali, Sadaf Shamas, Sidra Amin, Aliya Riaz, Natalia Pervaiz, Fatima Sana (C), Sidra Nawaz (WK), Rameen Shamim, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, and Sadia Iqbal.
The ninth game of the Women’s World Cup 2025, between Australia Women and Pakistan Women, will be streamed live on the JioHotstar app and website. For TV viewers, it will be broadcasted live on the Star Sports Network.
