In a dramatic turn of events at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, Australia women overpowered Pakistan women by 107 runs in Colombo, thanks to a sensational century by Beth Mooney and a resilient lower-order fightback.
Match Summary & Turning Points
Australia’s innings began in turmoil: they collapsed to 76 for 7 in the 22nd over as Pakistan’s spinners—Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal, and Rameen Shamim—exploited conditions and induced wickets with clever variations and tight lines.
At that precarious moment, Beth Mooney entered and steadied the boat. She led a historic ninth-wicket partnership of 109 runs with Alana King (51*), the highest ever for the 9th wicket in Women’s ODIs.
Mooney finished with a superb 109 (114 balls). King’s unbeaten 51 provided crucial support in the final overs. Australia posted 221/9
In response, Pakistan showed early resistance through Sidra Amin’s 35, but Australia’s bowlers struck decisively. The likes of Kim Garth (3/14), Megan Schutt (2/25), and Annabel Sutherland (2/15) dismantled the batting line-up, wrapping up the innings for 114 in 36.3 overs.
Implications & Highlights

-
Mooney’s century was not only a match-saving knock but also showcased the depth Australia possesses lower in the order.
