The semi-final match between India and Australia is part of the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025. The match is taking place at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai today, October 30, 2025.

Indian bowlers struggled in the second semi-final of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025, where senior all-rounder Deepti Sharma registered the costliest bowling figures ever in a World Cup knockout match.

The off-spinner ended with figures of 2 for 73 in 9.5 overs, taking both wickets in the final over as Australia amassed 338 runs in 49.5 overs in Navi Mumbai.
