Women’s World Cup 2025: 3 Australia players to watch out for

Australia Women’s team is the favorite to win the upcoming ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. They have already won the title seven times and lost only three finals. With Meg Lanning and Rachael Haynes retiring, there has been some change in the team since the last World Cup.

Australia will begin their ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 campaign against New Zealand in Indore on October 1. They have a good mix of all-rounders, exceptional batters, and strong bowlers. The big challenge for them will be selecting the best combination to form a winning XI. However, these three players will be ones to watch out for in this World Cup.

Here are the 3 Australia players to watch out for in the Women’s World Cup 2025:

1. Ellyse Perry

The legendary Australian all-rounder, Ellyse Perry, has been an inspiration to many young girls to take up the sport. She started young and has enjoyed a storied career so far. Now, at 34 years of age, Perry has guided many youngsters in the Australian team and is still feared by the opposition as a genuine game-changer. Perry has scored 4,329 runs at an average of 49.19 and has taken 166 wickets at an economy of 4.38, including three centuries and three five-wicket hauls, with best bowling figures of 7/22 and a highest score of 112*.

2. Alana King

Australia’s Alana King is one of the most exciting leg-spinners in this ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. She will be in the spotlight as the tournament is being played on spin-friendly wickets in India and Sri Lanka. King has taken 59 wickets with an economy of 4.40 in 40 WODIs, including one five-wicket haul, with best bowling figures of 5/46. She will be a key player for Australia, with spin expected to be their main weapon.

3. Beth Mooney

Beth Mooney is one of the most experienced batters in the Australian team and will be heavily relied upon in this ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. Mooney also has plenty of experience playing in Indian conditions through the Women’s Premier League (WPL). She will be the key batter for Australia on subcontinent pitches. Mooney has scored 2,786 runs at an average of 49.75 in 85 WODIs, including four centuries and 19 half-centuries, with a highest score of 138.
