Pakistan’s search for a first win in the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup gets tougher as they play defending champions Australia on Wednesday. This match, #9 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, comes with our prediction of Australia posting the highest opening partnership.
Australia are second in the points table after Sunday’s matches with three points from two matches (W1, NR1). Pakistan are sixth with no points after two defeats.
The defending champions started the tournament with a breezy 89-run win over New Zealand, signalling their intent. Ashleigh Gardener (115 off 83 balls) and Sophie Molineux (3 for 25) led the show for the Aussies in a comfortable win.
Their second match at this venue in Colombo was abandoned without a toss. With India up next in the schedule, Australia will hope to keep their momentum and continue their 16-match winning streak against Pakistan.
Pakistan lost to Bangladesh by seven wickets in the first match and then was beaten by India by 88 runs on Sunday. Both the games were played in Colombo and underlined their deficiencies in all aspects.
They could only score 129 and 159 in their two matches, and Pakistan are unlikely to trouble the Kangaroos here. The Women in Green also have baggage, as they lost all five previous World Cup encounters against Australia.

Our Australia Women vs Pakistan Women Prediction
Australia were unlucky to drop points, as their previous match was washed out against Sri Lanka. They have a history of having never lost against Pakistan, and that’s likely to continue here. Pakistan’s two defeats in this competition have come against Bangladesh and India, where their inability to score even 200 is very evident.
The defending champions should be heavy favourites to win easily here. Keep an eye on the market for margin of victory. Our Australia Women vs Pakistan Women prediction is Australia Women highest opening partnership.
