Then why you talk about india ? India has atleast reached in semifinal .

And you haven't answered my question - Who had defeated Australia women's team last time in a World cup or odi series?

:klopp :kp
 
Lanka travelled to Mumbai and defeated bng. Pak played their entire life in colombo and waited for this match. As per delusional Pakistan posters in ct threads, pak have to beat Lanka so badly that their travel fatigue will be the real reason for the loss.

Pakistani women's played all game a same venues yet winless so far and likely to remain same.

This is going to happen with Pakistani men's team when they knockout from 2026 World T20 even before semifinal .

Which minnow will they lose to? Italy or Nepal?

Of course, customary Indian thrashing is there.

Thrashing at hands of India is like a festival for Pakistanis - comes once or twice a year.
 
I Was just looking at past history of the tournaments. Even though both WI teams appear to be in dire status they still find ways to win at least some trophies. So really Kudos to them and are always a respectable team.

"ICC must arrange three good venues for the World Cup," says Fatima Sana after Pakistan's poor stint in CWC 25

Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana expressed her frustration after Colombo's relentless rain continued to disrupt the ICC Women's World Cup, as the 25th match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan was abandoned after just 4.2 overs at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday night, calling for better planning in future tournaments. Persistent showers forced both teams to share a point each — marking the fifth washout in Colombo this tournament. “I think the only thing that didn't go in our favour was the weather. I think ICC must arrange three good venues for the World Cup because we wait for four years to play in the World Cup,” she said.

Reflecting on Pakistan's performance, she added, “I think we were very good in the bowling and fielding side, but we are lacking in the batting department. We were good in a couple of games. We gave a close fight to Australia and England, but unfortunately, we were unable to cross the main line.”

The 22-year-old captain also spoke about the learnings from her first global campaign in charge. “I think as the youngest captain of the team, I have learned a lot of learnings from the World Cup. We didn't play much cricket in the recent past. We need to play much more cricket. We have the T20 World Cup coming up next year. We should be ready for that one.”

Looking ahead, Fatima noted that Pakistan have two upcoming series and are waiting for the PCB's schedule. On handling the pressures of captaincy, she said, “Pressure was always there, but I always watched Kane Williamson. He lost the World Cup very closely, but still, he managed to keep a smile on his face. I am just trying to be calm. When you are captaining a losing side, you need to have that belief in your team. Hopefully, we will do well in our upcoming games.”

She also shared a lighter moment from the tournament. “Before the national anthems, a little girl told me, ‘Please take my number and call me, I am your biggest fan.' I was laughing as, throughout the tournament, I was always standing by her side. I really enjoyed her company,” Fatima recalled. “I was a net bowler in the West Indies in 2017, and Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin praised my bowling a lot in the net sessions. That boosted my confidence. If you are a good human being, these things help you a lot.”

Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu, meanwhile, chose to look ahead positively despite the string of weather-hit games. “Yeah, definitely. I try to control what I can control. As a team, the expectations are always high when we come to a World Cup. Unfortunately, we lost our first game against India and another against England. We made quite a few mistakes in the field, with the bat, and as a bowling unit. But we're focusing on what we can do better in the future,” she said.

Chamari praised the balance on her side, adding, “We have some really talented young players, along with experienced senior players. The seniors always take the time to guide the youngsters, and as captain, I try to support all the girls. I always encourage them to play positive cricket—that's my main focus.”

Reflecting on their progress, the 35-year-old noted, “We've played against South Africa, India, and New Zealand. Over the last 12 months, we've beaten some of these teams, and we even beat England in England in T20s. On any given day, the team that plays their best cricket will win. We need to improve our batting, especially in the longer format. I feel we're very close to being among the top four teams, but we need to improve our cricket. The mistakes we made against India and England cost us those games.”

Despite the challenging conditions, Chamari reaffirmed her commitment to the team's future. “I've played a couple of World Cups now, and at 35, I'm really looking forward to continuing to play and helping build a strong team for the future. These are definitely tough conditions, playing under lights and dealing with the rain, which makes things even harder. But we'll keep working and see what we can achieve going forward.”

The washed-out fixture brings to a close Colombo's wet and frustrating leg of the tournament. The remaining matches of the Women's World Cup will now move to India, where players and fans will be hoping for clear skies and uninterrupted cricket.
 
I am now rooting for Indian women.

They have closed generational gaps very quickly. On the field they are an unlikeable bunch, but if they beat the SENA teams and take the cup it will be a wonderful show of progress, and shows how investment in women sports can propell them forward quickly.

Many people are upset at Pakistani women, but be honest, have you ever seen woman jogging in the street, or going to the gym in Pakistan. It is quite rare. Sports are considered unladylike by most of the population. Yet these women still defy the odds to even compete at this level. They are damned if they do and damned if they dont.
 
I expect Indian eves to beat Australia this time, they were ones who came closest to beating the ozzies in the group stages.

They defeat Australia in odi team just before the World cup , and came close in third ODI chasing 400+ Target. At one stages india women's were favourite but a collapsed occurred and we lost the game.

This is the best chance for India to beat Australia. India women have experience of beating Aussie women in WC 2017 semi-final.

Hopefully we will see repeat of 2017 semi-final result.
 
Alana King produced the best bowling figures in ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup history to clinch top spot in the league stage for Australia.

The leg-spinner dismantled the South African innings on her way to seven for 18, helping dismiss the Proteas for just 97.

Despite losing a couple of early wickets, Australia chased that down in just 16.5 overs, wrapping up a seven-wicket victory.

With the win, Australia continued their perfect run so far in this tournament, winning every game bar a washout against Sri Lanka.

They will now play India in the semi-finals in Navi Mumbai on Thursday, with South Africa having to regroup for their clash with England the day before in Guwahati.

King leaves South Africa in a spin

Australia won the toss and elected to bowl first, with Laura Wolvaardt plundering four boundaries off Megan Schutt’s second over to give South Africa a good platform.

Schutt got her revenge when she had the Proteas skipper caught at short midwicket for 31, with just 32 on the board.

Kim Garth then followed that up by getting the other opener, Tazmin Brits, for six as she trapped her leg before in the 10th over.

At 43 for two, the game was evenly poised, but the introduction of King swung it definitively the way of Australia.

She needed just two balls to remove Sune Luus, skying a slog sweep off the spinner’s second delivery.

A dream first over got even better when Marizanne Kapp picked out Garth behind square for a duck, completing a double wicket maiden.

Sinalo Jafta tried to mount a comeback, including three boundaries off one Annabel Sutherland over, but at the other end, King was proving unplayable.

She picked up two more in as many deliveries, bowling Annerie Dercksen (5) and then having Chloe Tryon caught first ball to take her figures to four for none from 2.3 overs.

Nadine de Klerk finally got some runs off the leg-spinner, steering the hat-trick ball through backward point for a boundary.

South Africa have made a habit of digging themselves out of trouble in this tournament, but Jafta’s counter-attack was stopped when she was bowled by King for 29 after back-to-back fours, leaving the Proteas on 81 for seven.

She followed that up by bowling Masabata Klaas for four before Ashleigh Gardner got in on the act, removing Ayabonga Khaka for a duck.

Fittingly, it was King who took the final wicket, De Klerk bowled for 14 as she finished with figures of seven for 18, the best in ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup history.

Mooney and Voll lead Australia home

In reply, Australia were dealt an early blow when Phoebe Litchfield fell for five to Kapp, who started the chase with three successive maidens.

At the other end, Ellyse Perry fell to Klaas for a duck, leaving Australia on 11 for two.

Voll (38 not out) survived an LBW shout a couple of balls later but responded with a couple of boundaries off Kapp.

Beth Mooney started finding the boundary at the other end as the duo upped the ante and quickly raced past the 50 partnership.

They took Australia to the brink, adding 76 in just over 10 overs before Mooney picked out Wolvaardt off the bowling of De Klerk for a 41-ball 42.

That brought Sutherland to the crease and she quickly knocked off the remaining runs, hitting 10 off just four balls to seal the win.

Australia v South Africa – Holkar Stadium, Indore, India

South Africa 97 all out from 24 overs (Laura Wolvaardt 31, Sinalo Jafta 29; Alana King 7/18, Ashleigh Gardner 1/19)

Australia 98 for three from 16.5 overs (Beth Mooney 42, Georgia Voll 38 not out; Marizanne Kapp 1/11, Nadine de Klerk 1/13)

Result: Australia won by seven wickets
