Defending champions Australia Women opened this World Cup with authority, crushing New Zealand Women by 89 runs in their first outing. Rain interfered with their second fixture against Sri Lanka, washing it away completely, but the Aussies have positioned themselves in second place and will aim to take the top spot in this fixture.
Their batting lineup is stacked with firepower, as Alyssa Healy, Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, and Beth Mooney form a top order packed with match winners. Mooney was exceptional during the recent India series, accumulating 233 runs across three innings at an average of 116.50. She appears primed to produce another 40-plus score in this tournament.
Additional firepower arrives through Grace Harris and Ashleigh Gardner, both capable of injecting rapid runs through the middle and lower order. Gardner was the highest scorer against New Zealand with a brilliant 115 from just 83 deliveries, proving just how much quality this squad possesses.
The bowling attack is perfectly suited for these conditions. Kim Garth and Sophie Molineux are set to handle the new ball and possess the ability to strike early. Molineux displayed exactly that in the opening match, returning excellent figures of 3-25 from 8.2 overs. Alana King, Tahlia McGrath, and Annabel Sutherland bring different dimensions to the attack, while Gardner can contribute valuable overs when required.
Ellyse Perry scored 33 runs in the last match against New Zealand Women, which included five fours. She has had a good time in WODIs this year, smashing 251 runs in 7 matches, averaging 41.83. Against Pakistan Women, Perry has scored 164 runs in 10 matches, averaging 27. Given her current run of form, we back Perry to score over 32 runs in today's match.

Pakistan Women have had a forgettable start to their World Cup run, suffering heavy defeats in their first two outings, first to Bangladesh and then to India. They are yet to open their account and now face the defending champions, which only adds to the pressure.
For them to stay competitive, their top order needs to find rhythm. Sidra Amin holds the biggest responsibility here. She has been in outstanding touch this year, leading Pakistan’s scoring charts in the home ODI series against South Africa, where she piled up 293 runs in three matches, including two centuries. In the last game against India too, she top-scored with a gutsy 81 off 106.
Muneeba Ali and Natalia Pervaiz are dependable options who can add some stability with the bat, but the rest of the lineup hasn’t inspired much confidence so far.
Pakistan’s attack, though, has been their bright spot. Diana Baig has taken five wickets from two games at an economy of 4.61, while captain Fatima Sana has backed her well with three at 3.77. The pair will aim to trouble Australia’s top order early on and slow down their scoring rate.
Rameen Shamim and Sadia Iqbal have chipped in with two wickets each and have kept things tight in the middle overs, giving the bowling unit decent balance overall.
Sidra Amin fought a lone battle against India, scoring 81 runs off 106 balls, but she couldn't take her team over the line. She has had a superb year so far, scoring 599 runs in 10 matches, averaging a staggering 75. Amin is in the form of her life and is one of the key batters for Pakistan in this fixture against a strong Australian bowling lineup. We predict her to step up and score over 20 runs.

Afternoons at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo often start with conditions ideal for batters to get in early. Scores past 270 have been recorded in recent Women’s ODIs here. As the match wears on, the black-soil pitch slows, helping spinners bowl with more turn and bounce. Evening skies and humidity tend to aid grip for spin, especially under lights. Teams chasing should beware of the deterioration after 30 overs which can make run-scoring harder.
The weather is expected to be cloudy, with chances of showers in the morning. But the rest of the day looks clear for the game.

The average score batting first at R Premadasa Stadium is 216. For this game, if Australia bat first, they'll target a total of around 270-280. Pakistan's ceiling might be around 220-230 runs should they get to set a target.
The last two WODI matches played at Colombo have been average scoring, where the total match scores were 260 & 406 runs. Both teams boast a strong bowling lineup and with the conditions expected to be overcast batters might struggle to score runs and we predict a moderate scoring game, where the total match score will be under 464 runs.
We predict Pakistan Women will win the coin toss in match 9 of ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 against Australia Women at Colombo.
With an eye on the weather, the toss-winning team is likely to bowl first, in case rain hampers play and DRS comes into effect.
Australia Women have dominated Pakistan Women in ODIs, winning all 16 encounters between the two sides. Their World Cup campaign began with a commanding victory, reinforcing their status as tournament favorites. Pakistan face an uphill battle, with their best chance resting on their spinners’ ability to contain Australia’s powerful batting lineup. The odds overwhelmingly favor Australia to extend their winning streak.
Australia Women are all set to emerge victorious in this clash.
