In a rematch of the 2017 ODI World Cup semis, India will once again take on the Australians in the second semifinal on Thursday at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai of the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. Australia, like always have dominated in the group stage, and finished on top of the table. On the other hand, India started with two wins before losing three matches consecutively. However, a victory over New Zealand sealed India’s path to semifinals.
Meanwhile, India suffered a huge blow ahead of the semifinal when Pratika Rawal was ruled out for the remainder of the tournament due to an ankle injury and knee injury sustained while fielding against Bangladesh. Opener Shafali Verma, who was initially dropped from the World Cup squad, has been called in as a replacement.
It will interesting to see whether Shafali will be directly drafted in the playing XI in place of Rawal. Currently, the top-run getter in the ongoing Senior Women’s T20 League, Shafali will report at India’s training session on Tuesday. Earlier, the right-hander scored 70 for India A in the one-off official ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 warm-up game against New Zealand in Bengaluru’s CoE. Earlier, India lost to Australia in group stage.
