With one World Cup title to their name, they will be looking to put aside their past setbacks and get the tournament off to a great start with a win in their first match.
Indore's Holkar Cricket Stadium offers a flat, batting-friendly pitch with even bounce and short boundaries, making it one of the best venues for high-scoring matches in the Women's World Cup 2025. The pitch is conducive to aggressive batting from the outset, and its fast outfield allows for easy hitting.
In the early overs, fast bowlers may find some bounce and slight movement, especially under floodlights, but overall, the surface is quite favorable for batsmen. As the game progresses, spinners may find some grip in the middle overs, providing some balance for the bowlers. Teams batting first typically aim for a large total of 320-330 runs, and chasing targets isn't difficult due to dew and the small ground.
