Pakistan (114) crumble as Australia (221/9) seal 107-run win in match 9 of Women's ODI World Cup 2025

[sweep_shot]

Century for Beth Mooney. Well played.

 

[sweep_shot]

200 is up.

AUS - 200/8 (49 overs).

Final over.

 

[RehanG]

This Diana Baig is pretty useless from. what i have seen a bit in past both matches.

 

[Arajit]

200 up, one over to go

 

[Ball Blazer]

All hard work of Rameen and Nashra in vain now.

 

[Josh]

In these conditions, asian teams must have batters who can roll over their arms for a few overs of spin bowling. Pak Pacers making sure, they can't win this one

 

[sweep_shot]

Back to back sixes.

212/8.

4 balls to go.

 

[sweep_shot]

This is turning out to be a massive final over. 21 runs in 5 balls. Last ball to go.

AUS - 221/8 (49.5 overs).

 

[Ball Blazer]

Half century for Alana King

 

[sweep_shot]

Mooney is out finally. That was the last ball of the innings.

Australia finish at 221/9 after 20 overs.

Pakistan need 222 to win.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pak again restricts another top team to below par score. Can they chase this low total? I doubt it. They will fold for 150.

The Women's team is very similar to Men's team. Good bowling and poor batting.

 

[Devadwal]

When team is on 76-7 (21)

Other teams - 90 all-out (25)

But AUS Women - 221/9 (50)

Mighty Aussie .

Have to give credit to Mooney. Played an outstanding knock on a tough pitch in a high-pressure situation. She felt like she was feeling the heat (quite literally)...I imagine it was fairly humid. But she kept her cool and scored a fantastic ton. Pakistan were not doing too much wrong, she just didn't give them an inch and played a fairly risk-free knock

Very high qualIty knock given the nature of the surface.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan bowled well in patches. Just couldn't finish well.

Anyway, I expect Australia to win all games.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Pakistan will make 150 -180 max

 

[Ali Active]

muneeba should rotate

 

[Ali Active]

out

 

[jnaveen1980]

I hate these finger underneath the ball dismissals. Between the fingers it appears ball was touching the ground..but technically that is okay as per law book. It shouldn't be. Fingers should completely wrap the ball around

 

[Local.Dada]

Pak Women’s match vs Australia also following a same pattern. Pak puts Australia under pressure, looks like Pak is going to pull off an upset, then some random Aussie player steps up and ruins it and then Pak collapses. Seen this script so many times lol. Credit to the Pak women though

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian umpire Janani helped pakistan a lot today. Not enough

In women's cricket Australia has far too many match winners than men's Australia team

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Can they reach 90?

 

[dravidthewall]

Even if aus score 90 also they will bowl pakistan out for 60 .

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Pakistan Women 48/5 in 12.1 overs, it would be a miracle if they could go past 110

 

[Champ_Pal]

As expected. Pak-W batting is extremely poor.

 

[Ali Active]

Can sidra in score hundred like in south africa series she has potential

 

[Devadwal]

Like the men's team (3-0 against India), the Pakistan women's team has also lost 3-0 so far in this World Cup. That means a total of 6-0.

Moral victory for Pakistan @DeadlyVenom @The Bald Eagle

114 - So we can call it a miracle?

Gardner ton helps Australia overcome Pakistan in CWC25

Australia bowlers scripted a clinical display to help secure a massive 107-run ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 win over Pakistan.

Defending 231, the reigning champions restricted Pakistan to 114 runs, with the bowlers being on their mark from the get-go. Garth opened the deadlock for the defending champions, removing Sadaf Shamas in her second over, inducing an outside edge off a nip-backer which was caught behind by captain Alyssa Healy.

Schutt then opened her account from the other end, sending Muneeba Ali packing after the latter's hack off a hard-length delivery was caught by Annabel Sutherland stationed at mid-off.

Garth continued to challenge Pakistan batters from the other end, catching Sidra Nawaz off guard with some late movement. Soon afterwards, the right-arm quick was rewarded for targeting the stumps as Eyman Fatima missed a wild slog to see her stumps rattled.

Meanwhile, Schutt completed her brace, courtesy of a good low catch of Natalia Pervaiz from Beth Mooney in the cordon.

Annabel Sutherland also got in on the act, claiming the prized wicket of captain Fatima Sana to make it six for Australia just on the other side of the powerplay.

Pakistan's highest run-getter against India, Sidra Amin (35 off 52), showed character with the bat but her resistance was broken by Ash Gardner as Australia inched closer to a mammoth win.

Soon after, Georgia Wareham removed Diana Baig, trapping her plumb in front of the wicket. Australia had to wait another 11.2 overs before the next breakthrough as Rameen Shamim and Nashra Sandhu stuck in the middle for a slow-burning 25-run stand.

However, Alana King would finally come good with the ball as Sandhu edged a sharp leg-breaker for Australia skipper Alyssa Healy to pouch safely. It was Annabel Sutherland who wrapped up the win, getting one past Shamim, hitting the top of off-stump.

Earlier, Beth Mooney (109) had led Australia's foray with the bat to rescue her side from Pakistan's early strikes.

With the defending champions being reduced to eight wickets down at 115, Mooney went on to notch a sensational century, her first at the Women's Cricket World Cup, as Australia posted 221 on the board.

The left-handed batter displayed an array of shots to keep the scoreboard ticking against the run of play, composing her innings with some confident strokeplay that included 11 boundaries.

Coming in to bat at 10, Alana King (51) duly complemented Mooney from the other end, scoring a power-packed half-century — comprising three fours and as many maximums — which is now the highest score in Women's ODIs.

Together, Mooney and King added a staggering 109 runs, making for the highest-ever ninth-wicket partnership in Women's ODI history.

Earlier, Pakistan bowlers made impressive inroads against the seven-time Women's Cricket World Cup winners. Nashra Sandhu nabbed three wickets, while Rameen Shamim struck a brace. Skipper Fatima Sana, Sadia Iqbal, and Diana Baig also got on the wickets tally.

Iqbal would open the floodgates for Pakistan by trapping Australia captain Alyssa Healy into a false shot. The right-hander, looking to flick the ball away, ended up mistiming the shot straight to Diana Baig at mid-wicket.

Shortly afterwards, Sana struck, catching Phoebe Litchfield off her own bowling to make it two wickets for Pakistan inside four deliveries.

Nashra Sandhu then weaved her magic with the ball, producing two magical deliveries to send Ellyse Perry and Annabel Sutherland packing.

Dancing down the track, Perry was deceived by the flight and turn as wicket-keeper Sidra Nawaz produced a lightning-fast stumping. Sandhu then broke through the gates of Sutherland to make it four wickets for Pakistan.

Sandhu would go on to clinch her third wicket by getting the better of Tahlia McGrath as Pakistan tightened their grip on the defending champions.

From the other end, Rameen Shamim also delivered a brace, getting rid of the in-form Ash Gardner to open her account.

Shamim's second strike was even more impressive as she held onto a low Georgia Wareham catch off her own bowling.

Beth Mooney and Kim Garth showed some resistance with the bat, compiling a resilient partnership to come up with a response after a surge of wickets, helping the team past the 100-run mark. Mooney would go on to bring up a valuable half-century.

But just as Australia seemed to be in the midst of recovery, Diana Baig snapped the wicket of Garth, with Sidra Nawaz producing a masterful piece of glovework to stump her out.

Mooney then stitched another crucial partnership with Alana King to bail Australia out of a tricky scenario in Colombo, one that eventually sealed a clinical victory.

When team is on 76-7 (21)

Other teams - 90 all-out (25)

But AUS Women - 221/9 (50)

Mighty Aussie .

On the flip side.

When team is on 113/1 in 12 overs in a T20

Other teams 210/4 in 20 overs

Pakistan 146 all-out

 

[mominsaigol]

Aus women are winning this cup easy peasy

 

[BDfanforever]

They need to find ways to completely digitize the review for these types of dismissals. Like in tennis, you can see if ball is outside the line or not, here review system should be able to tell us if ball touched ground or not like Hotspot.

 

[Savak]

PCB needs to sack the entire team and give chances to fresh new talent. Do a talent drive and build a brand new team from scratch. Even if they lose, atleast they will not end up doing something different in comparison to the TTF's we have been carrying for the last 10-15 years.

 

[Savak]

The fitness, stamina, strength of these female cricketers is well below international standards. These women now have the resources to access the top nutritionists, fitness trainers and can enhance their strengths. The PCB has pumped increased resources in women's cricket since the days of Ehsan Mani, Wasim Khan, why are the women not responding? Why is there no return on investment?

 

[AZulfi]

Batting is inept regardless of gender!

From 78/7, Australia just got too many runs. Should have restricted them to 130-140 but credit to Australian women. They showed why they are Women’s World Champions. They have been in 10 Finals in 12 tournaments. That is an impressive record.

Australia has won the World Cup 7 times (runners up 3 times)
England 4 times
NZ once

Pak team is not capable of scoring more than 140-150 against good teams. Once Australia crossed 150, the writing was on the wall.

Your whole country isn’t returning on anything ..why do you expect return from women’s cricket team..lol

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan Women's
0 - 17 against AUSW in ODIs
1 - 23 in Last 24 Worldcup matches

Same story, different day for Pakistan

PAKW need to face their men’s team now, they might finally get a win there.
