Seven-time champions Australia begin their ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 campaign against New Zealand today, aiming to start their title defence with authority. Australia skipper Alyssa Healy won the toss and decided to bat first on the day. The Aussies brim with depth, particularly in their bowling. Left-arm spinner Sophie Molineux and leg-spinner Georgia Wareham are back from injuries, joining Alana King in a formidable spin arsenal. Their pace stocks are equally rich, with Megan Schutt, Ellyse Perry, Tahlia McGrath, and Darcie Brown all pushing for selection.
Batting-wise, Alyssa Healy, Beth Mooney, Ashleigh Gardner, and Phoebe Litchfield headline a line-up reinforced by the emergence of Georgia Voll, fresh from a century against India.
New Zealand, however, cannot be discounted. Led by Sophie Devine, they combine experience in Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, and Lea Tahuhu with the promise of youngsters like Georgia Plimmer and Izzy Gaze. After rigorous training camps in Chennai and Abu Dhabi, the White Ferns will seek another upset, recalling their T20 triumph last year.
