The India Women vs Australia Women 3rd ODI at the Ekana Cricket Stadium started with high drama within its opening hours. Opting to bat first on Saturday, 20th September, Australia Women stormed into the record books with one of their best-ever starts in ODI cricket.
Australia Women Stitch Record WODI Powerplay Score!
Australia posted 77 runs in the first 10 overs, losing just one wicket, the fourth-highest powerplay score for Australia Women in ODIs. The record remains 79 runs against New Zealand Women at the Oval in 2012.
Highest Scores in Overs 1–10 for Australia Women in ODIs:
- 79/0 vs New Zealand Women – North Sydney Oval, 2012
- 77/0 vs New Zealand Women – North Sydney Oval, 2012
- 77/0 vs Sri Lanka Women – Allan Border Field (Brisbane), 2019
- 77/1 vs India Women – Delhi, 2025, Today*
- 76/1 vs West Indies Women – North Sound, 2019
Alyssa Healy, Georgia Voll, and Ellyse Perry were the chief architects of this explosive start. Healy and Voll set the tone with a 43-run opening stand off just 27 balls, before Voll and Perry stitched a mammoth 107-run partnership. Voll was eventually dismissed by Sneh Rana, but by then Australia had already built a commanding platform.
Australia Women Dominating India After 29 Overs!
At the 29-over mark, Australia Women were on 213/2 at the drinks break, with Perry unbeaten alongside Beth Mooney. With 11 overs still left, the visitors looked well on course to breach the 300-run mark.
On the receiving end, India’s bowlers struggled for control. Kranti Goud proved the most expensive, conceding 42 runs in her 5 overs despite dismissing Healy. Renuka Thakur, Deepti Sharma, and Sneh Rana also went for runs, while Radha Yadav leaked 30 runs from her 3-over spell.
