Australia and England share a historic rivalry, be it in men’s or women’s cricket. The matches between them always garner a lot of attention.

And the reasons are plenty. There’s drama, banter, sledging, and, more importantly, fierce competitiveness. All this makes up for an intense rivalry that no cricket fan wants to miss out on.

Australia and England also make sure to deliver competitive contests in women’s cricket. Take the many thrilling matches played between them, even in the World Cups.

Back in the 2013 Women’s ODI World Cup, both teams engaged in a low-scoring thriller. Australia hadn’t put enough runs on the board, but their bowlers ensured a sneaky two-run win. 

Four years before, England overhauled Australia’s challenging 164-run target to storm into the 2009 Women’s T20 World Cup.

And if we go a bit further back in time, England and Australia played a nail-biting tie in the 1982 Women’s ODI World Cup. England and Australia had their scores level on 167!

So, there’s no dearth of close contests between these two teams. And we might see another one when both teams face each other in the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup.

Australia will square off against their arch-rival England on October 22, 2025, in Indore.

On that note, here’s the head-to-head timeline between Australia women and England women, including notable records and highlights.
