The ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 Semifinal is here, as India gears up to face the seemingly unbeatable Australia. For India, this is a significant moment, marking their first appearance in the knockouts since the 2017 tournament.
The challenge is immense. Australia has an overwhelming record, having won 49 of their 60 matches against India, with the Women in Blue only winning 11, and they are aiming for a milestone 50th win. Their recent dominance is clear, winning 10 of their last 11 ODIs against India, including a tight three-wicket win earlier in this World Cup after India let the match slip from their grasp.
The Aussies enter this match on an astonishing 15-game winning streak in the competition, a run that spans both the 2022 and 2025 World Cups. This match also marks Australia’s 100th World Cup ODI, a tournament where they have historically excelled, winning 9 of their 11 semi-final matches.
While Australia has won the last two World Cup matches against India, the last knockout meeting gives India hope: a crucial 36-run victory in the 2017 semi-final. Overall, in World Cup knockouts, Australia leads India with 2 wins to 1.
India, which has won just one of their last four ODIs at home, faces a daunting task against an Australian side on a seven-match winning streak away from home. For India, which has won three of its seven previous knockout matches, India needs the 2017 magic to shine through again.
So, before start of the much awaited match, let's have a look at the INDW vs AUSW head-to-head stats in Women's World Cup.

India last faced Australia in the Match 13 of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 where Australia chased down the highest successful total in Women's ODI history and also set the world record for being the first team to chase over 300 in a Women's WC record, breaking their own record that they set in the same fixture in the 2022 edition at Auckland.
Australian captain Alyssa Healy played an all-time great innings of 142 runs in just 107 balls to put them in cruise control in the run-chase, which not just put them on the cusp of the target but ensured the asking run-rate was always in reach.
Earlier, India created history as they put a massive total of 330 on the board, which is the highest against Australia in Women's World Cup history and the first instance of a team crossing the 300 mark against the Southern stars. This is also the Women in Blue's biggest score in a World Cup match in history.
