INDW vs AUSW Preview: Vizag Weather Could Impact India vs Australia Women's World Cup Match

India face Australia in perhaps the toughest group-stage fixture of the Women’s World Cup 2025 at Visakhapatnam (Vizag). Following their narrow defeat against South Africa, the Indian team will be eager to bounce back and reclaim momentum in the tournament.

However, India will need to navigate not just Australia’s formidable squad led by Alyssa Healy, but also Vizag’s unpredictable weather, which has already disrupted matches in the past few days. Intense heat, humidity, and intermittent rain showers have played a role in previous encounters, including India’s last game against South Africa, where the toss was delayed by more than half an hour, and crucial wickets fell in clusters between the 16–26 over block.

The Visakhapatnam pitch offers something for everyone — initial swing under the afternoon sun, good batting conditions, and turn as the game progresses. Dew in the evening could influence toss decisions once again.
