ICC Women’s World Cup 2025: Batters to Watch in the 2nd Match of AUS-W vs NZ-W

There’s always something that brings extra heat to an Australia vs New Zealand contest – whether it be men’s or women’s games, when they face off, you know it is going to be spirited. In the 2nd match in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, it will be beyond national pride – but rather which side can handle the pressure and will let the bat do the talking. With each team having an explosive top and middle order, the limelight will truly fall on these three outstanding batters who have gone into the World Cup in incredible touch. We will look at three batters who can turn the game by unleashing their ability with the bat in hand.

Beth Mooney: AUS-W

Beth Mooney does not just bat. She absorbs pressure, chews it like gum, and spits out match-winning knocks. With 405 runs in her last 10 matches at an average of 45 and a strike rate of 106.86, Mooney has proven, once again, why she is Australia’s most dependable batting anchor. The thing that makes her lethal is her adaptability, which she can do calmly if she is first required to steady the ship after early dismissals; or in the final stages of a match, she can unleash frenetic helter-skelter batting. Maybe New Zealand’s bowlers, who can occasionally concede runs under pressure, will provide Mooney with the opportunity. Maybe Mooney, with her poise, will provide Australia with that winning touch.

Annabel Sutherland: AUS-W

Annabel Sutherland had previously made a name for herself with her useful bowling, yet she is now in the news as a batter. Sutherland has made 393 runs off just 9 matches at an outrageous average of 56.14. Outrageous! She even has a strike rate of 106.79, so not only is she scoring runs, she is scoring them fast and giving the Australians the ascendancy. Sutherland can be a potentially explosive batter. She can be aggressive at times, often counterattacking when the opposition is up. If the New Zealand team loses wickets early, Sutherland can actually deliver potentially worse outcomes before the halfway mark.

Maddy Green: NZ-W

While Australia’s batters have stolen the headlines, New Zealand’s Maddy Green has slowly established herself as a match-winner in her own right. With 320 runs in 10 matches at an average of 45.71, she may not intimidate with brute force, but her reliability and strike rotation help hold the White Ferns batting order together. At a strike rate of 90.14, Green is less about raw power and more about crafty batting – but in World Cups, those measured knocks can be invaluable. If Green can stabilize the innings and bat deep, New Zealand’s power-hitters can freely play their shots around her.

With the scene set for a blockbuster World Cup battle, no matter if it is Beth Mooney’s poise, Annabel Sutherland’s fire, or Maddy Green’s steady approach, these three batters will likely determine which team has a smile on its face.
