India Women Vs Australia Women’s National Cricket Team Timeline: Recent And Memorable Matches
The rivalry between India Women and Australia Women has consistently produced thrilling encounters, filled with passion and top-class cricket. Here are some key highlights that have shaped their journey to the 2025 semi-final.
2017 Women’s World Cup — Semi-Final (Derby): India beat Australia
India famously beat Australia in the 2017 World Cup second semi-final at Derby — India 281/4 (42 ov) defeated Australia 245 (40.1 ov) by 36 runs; Harmanpreet Kaur was Player of the Match for her unbeaten 171 in that World Cup. This is a key historical milestone in the rivalry.
India v Australia — bilateral series (September 2025, India tour of Australia / Australia tour of India context):
During the 2025 build-up to the World Cup, both sides had high-profile encounters. In the India vs Australia ODI series in September 2025 (hosted in India), the three ODIs produced dramatic cricket: Australia took the 1st ODI, India won the 2nd ODI by 102 runs (a notable, widely-reported result), and Australia won the 3rd to take the series 2–1. Scorecards and match reports are available on ESPNcricinfo and other outlets.
ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 group meeting (12 October 2025, Vizag): Australia beat India in a high-profile group match
In the World Cup group stage (Oct 12, 2025) Australia chased down a big total to beat India in Visakhapatnam, a result widely reported by international outlets; that game and the group stage form helped set up the semi-final rematch.
Head-to-Head Records
| Format | Matches Played | India Wins | Australia Wins | Draw/No Result |

| Overall (All Formats) | 98 | 18 | 77 | 3 |
Australia Women clearly dominate the rivalry across all formats, maintaining a strong win percentage in both ODIs and T20Is. However, India’s landmark victories such as the 2017 World Cup semi-final win and several T20I upsets since 2022 have added intensity and excitement to this global cricket rivalry.
What to expect in the semi-final
Expect a classic contest of India’s improving depth and home support against Australia’s experience and match temperament. India will look to exploit home conditions and aggressive batting at the top (Mandhana, potentially Shafali), while Australia will rely on their balance and all-round group of power hitters and frontline pace/spin options. The knockout nature of the game magnifies pressure, fielding, temperament, and execution in the death overs will likely decide the outcome.
