Australia continued their unbeaten streak in the ongoing Women's World Cup 2025, defeating England by six wickets at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on Wednesday, October 22.
Tahlia McGrath, stepping in for Alyssa Healy, won the toss and opted to bowl first on Wednesday. Tammy Beaumont played a brilliant knock at the top of the order. She held the innings together after the likes of Amy Jones, Heather Knight, and Sophia Dunkley failed to capitalise on their starts. Alice Capsey and Charlie Dean played handy knocks down the order to help the Three Lions get to 244/9 in 50 overs.
In reply, England got off to a brilliant start, picking up three wickets inside the first six overs. Beth Mooney and Annabel Sutherland tried to resurrect the ship, but the former was dismissed for 20 by Sophie Ecclestone.
Australia were in a spot of bother at 68/4 in 15.5 overs. Ashleigh Gardner joined forces with Sutherland, and the experienced duo counter-attacked superbly to rattle the England bowlers. Sutherland mixed caution with aggression, while Gardner took the opposition to the cleaners with a phenomenal batting display. They forged an unbeaten 180-run stand off 148 balls to take Australia to victory in 40.3 overs.

Unforgettable moments from AUS W vs ENG W, 23rd match
Australia once again found a way to get back into the game after being in a precarious situation at one point. From 68/4 inside 16 overs, not too many teams would have been able to chase down a 241-run target with such ease. Gardner and Sutherland deserve a lot of credit, not just for taking Australia home but how easy they made things look.
What is the next match?
The next match in the Women's World Cup 2025 is between India Women and New Zealand Women, and it takes place on Thursday, October 23, at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. This is a virtual quarterfinal clash in the eight-team event.
