The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 is heating up, and the stage is set for a blockbuster encounter as Australia Women (AUS-W) take on England Women (ENG-W) in Match 23 on Wednesday, October 22, at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.

With their balance across departments, the Aussies appear well-prepared to extend their winning streak and stamp authority.

Holkar Cricket Stadium pitch report

The Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore is widely regarded as a paradise for batters, offering a true surface with even bounce that encourages free-flowing stroke play. Fast bowlers might find some assistance with swing during the initial overs under lights, but as the game goes on, variations like slower deliveries and cutters tend to be more effective. 

Spinners, meanwhile, will need to depend on precision and smart changes in pace rather than heavy turn. Considering the nature of the pitch, teams generally opt to bat first to set a big total.
