Pakistan Seeks Elusive Win Against Dominant Australia in ODI World Cup
8 Oct
Summary
- Pakistan has never beaten Australia in women's international cricket
- Pakistan lost their first two matches, putting their World Cup campaign under pressure
- Australia remains in strong form, winning 27 of their last 32 matches since the previous World Cup
As of October 8th, 2025, Pakistan's women's cricket team is facing a significant challenge in their upcoming ODI World Cup clash against Australia. The Pakistani side has never beaten their Australian counterparts in women's international cricket, and their path in the current tournament is already under pressure after losing their opening two matches to Bangladesh and India.
Historically, Pakistan has struggled against Australia in ODIs, with their narrowest defeats being 37 runs and four wickets, both in 2014. Their most recent series against Australia in 2023 ended in heavy losses, including an eight-wicket, ten-wicket, and 101-run defeat.
On the other hand, Australia remains in strong form, having won 27 of their last 32 matches since the previous World Cup. Their campaign in the current tournament began with a comfortable victory over New Zealand and a washout against Sri Lanka. Despite Pakistan's recent exposure to conditions in Colombo, where they faced India, Australia's skill and consistency make them a formidable opponent.
The match at the Khettarama Stadium, known for its challenging batting conditions, could provide Pakistan with a potential advantage. Additionally, the break Australia had since October 1st could also play a factor in the upcoming clash.
