Table of Contents

Australia Women take on South Africa Women in the 26th match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on Saturday. The match promises a clash between two in-form sides who have already sealed their semifinal berths but are looking to top the group standings.​

Australia Women enter this fixture unbeaten in their last five matches, continuing their remarkable dominance in the tournament. Captain Tahlia McGrath and experienced duo Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney have led the batting charge, while Annabel Sutherland and Alana King have made critical breakthroughs with the ball. Having comfortably beaten England, India and Bangladesh in their recent outings, Australia look hungry to finish the group stage as table-toppers. Their ODI head-to-head record also supports their dominance with 16 wins out of 18 meetings against South Africa.​

South Africa Women, however, are not far behind. Laura Wolvaardt’s team is playing fearless cricket, having won five of their six matches. Marizanne Kapp’s all-round brilliance and Nadine de Klerk’s lower-order contributions have been pivotal in South Africa’s campaign. Their bowling unit, featuring Nonkululeko Mlaba and Ayabonga Khaka, has been effective in mid-overs, often choking opposition scoring rates. The Proteas will be eager to end the group stage by ending their long losing streak against Australia and carrying momentum into the knockouts.

The Holkar Cricket Stadium surface has proven to be a batting-friendly pitch throughout the tournament, allowing batters to score freely with short boundaries and true bounce. Pacers may extract slight movement early, but as the innings progresses, spinners come into play. With dew expected under lights, chasing could be advantageous. The average first-innings total has hovered around 290–310, making it a high-scoring venue where bowlers must rely on variations to contain runs.
