The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 is getting seriously intense. With the tournament in full swing across India and Sri Lanka, one team has already punched its ticket to the knockout stage. But for everyone else? It’s an absolute nail-biter.
Key Takeaways
- Defending champs Australia are the first team to qualify for the semi-finals.
- Three knockout spots are still up for grabs, with England, South Africa, and India in a tight race.
- Pakistan has been officially eliminated from semi-final contention.
- Australia’s captain Alyssa Healy is in stunning form, smashing back-to-back centuries.
- India faces crucial, high-stakes matches against England and New Zealand next.
Australia Just Can’t Be Stopped
Look, there’s just no other way to say it. The defending champions are on an absolute tear. Australia officially booked their semi-final spot on October 16 with a crushing 10-wicket victory over Bangladesh. They didn’t even break a sweat.
And at the heart of it all is their captain, Alyssa Healy. She’s playing on another level right now. Healy smashed an unbeaten 113 against Bangladesh, and this came right after her spectacular 142 against India. That knock helped Australia chase down a record 331 runs. Yeah, they’re looking pretty unstoppable.

The Main Contenders
Right now, England holds the second spot with 7 points. Their crucial match against Pakistan on October 15 was washed out by rain, which was terrible news for Pakistan as it knocked them out of the tournament. But it gave England a valuable point.
Then you’ve got South Africa, sitting pretty in third with 6 points. They just came off a massive 10-wicket win against Sri Lanka on October 17. Openers Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits made that chase look easy, putting them in a strong position to qualify.
India’s High-Stakes Gamble
And what about India? They’re currently in fourth place with 4 points. Their path to the semis is a little trickier. Everything now rides on their upcoming matches. They have to face England and New Zealand, two very tough teams.
These aren’t just regular games. They’re basically knockout matches for Team India. A win is crucial to keep their World Cup dreams alive. The pressure is on, and you can bet millions will be watching to see if they can handle it.
What Happens Now?
The next few days are going to decide everything. While Australia waits to see who they’ll face, India, England, and South Africa will be fighting tooth and nail for every single point. New Zealand is still in the mix too, so don’t count them out just yet.
The stage is set for a dramatic finish to the group stage. Who do you think will hold their nerve and grab those final semi-final spots? Let the games begin.
