IND-W vs AUS-W 2nd ODI, Match Prediction: The Indian Women's team will take on the Australia Women's team in the second ODI of the three-match series on Wednesday, September 17, 1:30 PM IST, 2025.

India Women vs Australia Women Match Prediction

In the first ODI, India scored 281/7 thanks to half-centuries from Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal and Harleen Deol, but their bowlers faltered in the chase. Phoebe Litchfield (88), Beth Mooney (78*) and Annabel Sutherland (68*) shared a 116-run stand to guide Australia to a comfortable win.

For India, the weakness in the bowling attack remains a major concern. Renuka Singh Thakur and Sneh Rana will need early breakthroughs while skipper Harmanpreet will hope her middle order maintains consistency. On the other hand, Alyssa Healy-led Australia will look to seal the series with another stellar display of their batting.

IND -W vs AUS-W Pitch Report

The pitch report for the India vs Australia 2nd ODI at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh describes the surface as balanced and batsman-friendly. The pitch has good pace and consistent bounce, allowing batsmen to play shots freely. The relatively short boundaries make the match more likely to produce big scores. Early in the match, the pacers may get a little help with movement, but as the innings progress, spinners are likely to get more play. This surface is generally helpful for the batsmen but also allows bowlers, especially spinners, to create opportunities as the game progresses.

In the first ODI played at the same ground, India scored 281/7 and Australia achieved the target easily. The pitch structure points to another exciting contest with plenty of runs expected and the team winning the toss would prefer to bat first. However, effective bowling and fielding could prove to be crucial against the strong batsmen of both teams.
