Australia and England's 23rd ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 match will be scheduled to play in Indore on Wednesday at 3:00 PM IST. The Australian women's team has been dealt a big blow before this match. Australia's regular captain Alyssa Healy will miss the match against England on October 22nd due to a calf strain.

Australia's 35-year-old top-order batswoman Alyssa Healy sustained an injury during the practice session on Saturday. In the four games of the current ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025, she has made a total of 294 runs at an average of 98.00 and strike rate of 131.25 with two centuries. She is the leading run-scorer in the tournament. Consequently, her injury is a significant blow to the Australian women's cricket team.

In Alyssa Healy's absence, Tahlia McGrath will lead the Australian women's cricket team, while Beth Mooney will assume wicket-keeping duties. Cricket Australia has confirmed that Alyssa Healy's fitness will be re-evaluated before the team's final group match against South Africa on October 25.

Australia, England, and South Africa have qualified for the semi-finals of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025. Australia and England are ranked first and second on the points table, respectively, based on run rate, with 9 points each from five matches, while South Africa is third with 8 points from the same number of matches. Now there is a race between the three teams to reach number 1 in the points table.
