Amit Mishra’s Take
Watching the match, I felt Australia were in control from start to finish. Healy demonstrated leadership and confidence in her innings and Sutherland had taken the pressure right back on India with her bowling.
The team’s balance between batting and bowling made a huge difference, which is exactly why they remain favorites to lift the Women’s World Cup 2025 trophy.
The chase by Australia was very mature. Even after losing wickets, they remained patient and calm. India began well but failed to end well, losing some of their key batters and their momentum.
Australia was particularly sharp and collaborative, which demonstrated that their Women’s World Cup victory was crafted with talent, faith, and calmness. They are currently unstoppable and any team planning to beat them will have to give their best.
