Australia lead Pakistan 16-0 in head-to head ODI record
Alyssa Healy, Ashleigh Gardner top runs, wickets lists among current players
Aussies highly fancied to win
Pakistan face the mighty Australia in match 9 of ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday (October 8).
Australia began their World Cup campaign with a straightforward 89-run victory against New Zealand, and are the only team to register a 300-plus total in the tournament so far.
Their second match against Sri Lanka was washed out, which means the Alyssa Healy-led side had to split points with the Lankans.
On the other hand, Pakistan, first lost to Bangladesh by seven wickets, and then were thumped by an 88-run margin by India. Fatima Sana’s team has been lacklustre and found wanting in all departments of the game, and would need something extraordinary to even come close to beating the Aussies.

The two teams have faced off 16 times in one-day internationals, and Australia have won all 16 encounters. This includes five victories in ICC Women’s World Cup matches as well.
Top run-scorers: Former Australia top-order batter Meg Lanning heads the list with 438 runs from 12 Australia vs Pakistan ODI games at an average of 39.81. Among the current players, Healy is on top with 307 runs at an average of 38.37.
Top wicket-takers: Retired Pakistan off-spinner Sana Mir is first with 20 wickets from 10 matches at an average of 18.55. Among active players, all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner tops the chart with 14 wickets from seven games at an average of 10.35. Megan Schutt is next with 10 wickets from nine matches at an average of 20.5.
Going by any metric, be it recent results, pedigree and past match-ups, Australia are without doubt the firm favourites in this match. Google gives the Aussies a 98% chance of victory, and Pakistan just 2%.
