In a top-of-the-table clash on Saturday in the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup, Australia take on South Africa at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. This match between the first-placed Southern Stars and the second-placed Proteas comes with our prediction of Annabel Sutherland as top home bowler.
Both teams have already qualified for the semis and are unlikely to meet again, unless they meet in the final. Australia have 11 points from five wins and one no result, while South Africa have 10 points earned through five victories.
Australia are coming off a six-wicket win over arch rivals England at this venue earlier in the week, in a game where they were tested at various junctures. Overall, only their Sri Lanka game was where they didn’t take full points.
Alyssa Healy (294 runs) is their best batter, while Annabel Sutherland (15 wickets) is Australia’s best bowler. Ashleigh Gardner (265 runs, six wickets) has impressed with her all-round skills.
South Africa started the tournament with a 10-wicket drubbing against England but have since gone on from strength to strength. Most of their wins have been comprehensive, including their 150-run win against Pakistan this week.
The Proteas’ challenge will depend on Laura Wolvaardt (270 runs) and Nonkululeko Mlaba (11 wickets) rising to the occasion.

Our Australia Women vs South Africa Women Prediction
South Africa are on a high in this tournament, but this match will be a tough outing against their old nemesis. Australia have won 16 of the 18 ODIs played between these sides, with South Africa winning only once, while another ended in a tie. That victory came earlier this year when the teams met in Sydney, but the likelihood of a repeat is remote.
There’s not much value in backing an Australian win, so our Australia Women vs South Africa Women prediction is Annabel Sutherland top home bowler.
