Australia Opt Bat India Semi-Final Women's Cricket World Cup

In the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 semi-final held at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, Australia captain Alyssa Healy won the toss and chose to bat first against India. Australia made two changes, bringing in Healy and Sophie Molineux, while India made three changes including the return of Shafali Verma, replacing the injured Pratika Rawal. The pitch conditions are favorable for batting with good bounce and shot-making opportunities, setting the stage for a high-scoring contest. India’s bowling attack, led by Renuka Thakur and Deepti Sharma, has taken early wickets but must contain Australia's strong middle order featuring players like Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath. The winner of this match will face South Africa in the final scheduled for November 2, 2025. The game is being widely followed globally through live streams and sports networks, with intense fan support and excitement surrounding the historic clash.
