Women's ODI World Cup 2025: Discussion thread

[Mockingbird]

Today's match was anything but boring. IT was thrill a minute affair because India had to keep up with the rate. Probably one of the best ODI (Men & Women) in recent times.

True that, but mine was more a general commentary on ODIs. That format is losing relevancy.

A lot of people hate on women's Cricket because men do it faster and better. It's true, but simpler things can be as thrilling to watch just like simpler video games. People still take joy in playing 20 year old games despite terrible graphics and gameplay. It's all about the community, they make the sport, and not just about the quality at display.

What a chase it was by Indian women... Brilliant stuff from Jemimah...

True. Even Tennis has the same issue - women’s tennis is slower & cannot generally match up to the men’s edition. But all you need is a good narrative like a close match or a great rivalry (like Evert vs Navratilova or Graf vs Seles) to make it interesting and overlook the shortcomings.

Apart from pace bowling, I don't see much difference in Cricket between men and women. They hit 80-meter sixes easily. They also score 300 more frequently these days. Litchfield literally turned into a right-hander and reverse-swept the ball for 6. They have come a very, very long way.

I watched yesterday’s run chase and it was anything but boring. A run chase of 338 is never chased in a WC semi final or Final by Men or Women team in history ever. This was just incredible.

In Men’s cricket, has ever a target of 300+ chased even in a WC semi final or Final? I remember 2015 WC semi final NZ vs SA was closest when NZ chased 298 in 43 overs but it was also regarded as one of the best match of WC history.

This win by Indian Women Team is simply incredible and historical. It will be regarded as one of the greatest days of Indian Women cricket.

I bet no one knew that Starc is husband of Australia W team captain.

I bet no one knew that Starc is husband of Australia W team captain.

Starc always travels with her and does the commentary for few games too .he helps the women's team in nets too.both know each other past 20 years .

 

[jnaveen1980]

I bet no one knew that Starc is husband of Australia W team captain.

IT is well known. She frequently appears on podcast where she gets needled by hosts asking about her husband.

The crowd was amazing today. Fantastic venue for knockouts

Yes. Mumbai should be the default now that Eden has lost its edge.

Final is again in Mumbai.

Ok. Good choice to play this and final at Mumbai and not the Modi stadium

 

[globetrotter]

Thank rains for not disturbing India Vs. Australia match.... this morning again rains in Mumbai, never seen Monsoon season extended after Diwali

Everybody knows, you come from a lowly ranked nation that seldom plays Australia women, it's obvious you won't know.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Yes. Mumbai should be the default now that Eden has lost its edge.

Final is again in Mumbai.

It's in Navi Mumbai.

Navi is new in marathi.

So it's in New Mumbai.

Hope the rain stays away on Sunday.

 

[harshjoshi87]

This is why knockout matches should be played at traditional centres like Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Delhi.

Hope better sense prevails & BCCI slots the final of 2026 T20 WC at one of the above mentioned cities & not that panauti ground.

I don't even follow women's cricket and I knew this. But then, you guys have the better knowledge on Shahid Afridi's family details and who they're getting married to

But but you predicted Australia will thrashed Indian team.

 

[BouncerGuy]

But but you predicted Australia will thrashed Indian team.

The record suggested that... But predictions went wrong... Kudos to Indian Women... They deserved it.

 

[Devadwal]

nobody cares... please mention a single guy who said that pakistan women will do well????

Move on bruh... watch your team getting knockout at the hands of Australia yet again .

@Nikhil_cric @BouncerGuy is still not recovered from his prediction about India - Australia women's semifinals, maybe that's why he makes wrong headlines.

Records show that the Australian women's team has lost 6 matches since 2017 and out of those 6 defeats, they have lost 3-4 matches to India including 2017 World Cup semi-final loss.

The record suggested that Australian women have dominated women's cricket for years..

India did a great job toppling them... Congrats. Can beat the Proteas as well. They are on a roll here.
