Australia Women vs South Africa Women Team Preview & Squads
Australia Women
Alyssa Healy, the fierce Aussie skipper, has led with infectious energy and sharp game awareness. Her dual role as wicketkeeper and top-order batter brings balance and authority to the side.
AUS boasts arguably the most complete batting lineup in women’s cricket. Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, and Phoebe Litchfield add stability and class, while Gardner and Sutherland ensure fireworks down the order. No total feels safe against this lineup once they find rhythm.
The Australian attack is both varied and ruthless, combining pace and spin with tactical precision. Schutt and Brown lead with the new ball, while Gardner and Wareham provide the middle-overs choke. King and Molineux ensure the spin department stays lethal on slower tracks.
In their previous match against England Women (23rd Match, Indore, Oct 22, 2025), AUS were clinical. England posted 244/9, but Australia chased it down effortlessly with 248/4 in just 40.3 overs, winning by 6 wickets with 57 balls remaining. Perry’s classy fifty and Mooney’s calm finish showcased the depth of this side.

Laura Wolvaardt’s calm yet assertive leadership has steadied South Africa’s campaign beautifully. A batter of elegance and timing, she leads from the front with consistency and class. Her tactical calls have often brought out the best in her bowlers, especially in crunch situations.
The Proteas’ batting lineup has found its rhythm at the right time. Wolvaardt, Brits, and Bosch have been steady at the top, while Kapp and Tryon offer power and acceleration in the middle. Their ability to handle pressure and rotate strike efficiently has been key to their recent success.
SA bowling unit thrives on variety and discipline. Khaka and Klaas handle the new ball with accuracy, while Mlaba’s spin and Kapp’s all-round craft add a sharp edge. Their mix of pace, seam, and spin ensures adaptability across different conditions.
In their last outing against Pakistan Women (22nd Match, Colombo, Oct 21, 2025), SA dominated. They smashed 312/9 in 40 overs, led by a rapid top-order blitz. Pakistan’s chase never got going, finishing 83/7 (DLS), handing South Africa a 150-run victory.
