Australia’s women’s cricket team continues to dominate — explore the stats, records, and key factors behind their unmatched global success.
Since the start of 2022, Australia women have earned 44 victories in 49 ODIs, including one no-result, at an amazing win-loss ratio of 11. They haven’t experienced a single defeat in 15 matches of the Women’s ODI World Cup since 2022. It’s quite easy to see why Australia always start every women’s cricket tournament as the favorites. From 2010 to 2024, there was only one major ICC final without their presence.
Captains have changed, players have rotated yet Australia’s dominance has remained unshaken, with every available international trophy finding its way into their cabinet – many of them more than once for their core group of people. The ongoing Women’s World Cup 2025 is no different; they topped the group stage with six victories and one washout against Sri Lanka.
Australia’s strength lies in their batting depth
Since the start of 2022, Beth Mooney has been Australia’s leading ODI run-getter with 1626 runs. Her average of 54.20 and strike rate of 93.60 are equally fabulous, along with 10 fifties and three centuries.

Mooney led Australia’s comeback from 76/7 with a century against Pakistan during the WWC 2025. Her 109-run knock helped them post a match-winning total of 221/9. Against India, they produced the biggest-ever winning run-chase in women’s ODI history. In their 331 run chase in Visakhapatnam, there was hardly a moment when they were behind the eight ball.
Australia’s middle order is extremely strong. They have recorded 4161 runs in women’s ODIs since the beginning of 2022. The Alyssa Healy-led side’s middle order’s batting average of 38.88 is better than India, England, South Africa, and New Zealand.

| New Zealand | 48 | 4041 | 30.61 | 80.35 | 22/04 |
For any successful team, it’s incredibly vital for individuals to know their roles. Moreover, Australia have fierce competition among players for places. Grace Haris, who got ruled out of the World Cup because of a calf injury, stated, “The opportunities don’t necessarily come knocking and when they do you’ve got to grab them with both hands.”
“Whether it’s with our physicality or our skills, you know in the Australian team that it doesn’t take much for someone young to come in and get put up in lights and show the world what they’ve got, so you’ve got to make sure you’re ahead of the pack a little bit and doing everything you can to contribute,” Mooney told Telegraph Sport.
Australia’s clinical and skillful bowlers
The gulf between Australia and the other sides in women’s cricket is huge. Another reason for their success and development over the years is that they don’t rely on the same handful of players. There is an endless list of players to dig them out of problematic situations.
Since the start of 2022, Alana King has been Australia’s leading wicket-taker with 72 wickets in 44 innings. Among the top six bowlers on the list (among Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, England and India), three belong to Healy’s army. It just shows the depth they carry in the bowling department.

Australia have a conveyor belt of talent where everyone knows their role and any player is capable of being a match-winner. The implications are clear before any match.
They will take the field against India in the second semifinal of WWC 2025 on October 30 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy. Eight years ago, Harmanpreet Kaur’s masterclass knock handed Australia their last defeat in the Women’s ODI World Cup. But they will still start the game as favorites. After all regarding skills, there is Australia; there is daylight, and then there are other teams.
