Australia trounced over South Africa in the Match 26 of the Women's World Cup 2025 to march into the semi-finals by going unbeaten throughout the league phase of the tournament. The seven-wicket win with 199 deliveries to spare meant Australia topped the table with an emphatic net run rate of 2.102.
Alana King's seven-wicket haul 7/18 in 7 overs spun a web around the Proteas batting line-up as they had absolutely no idea on how they should go about tackling her. They chased down the 98-run target in 16.5 overs to cruise through in Navi Mumbai on Saturday, October 25.
This win marked Australia's ninth win over South Africa in the Women's World Cup. South Africa have still not managed to defeat Australia in the mega event. The Aussies also extended their winning record to 15 consecutive matches, equalling their streak from 1997 to 2000.
