It is going to be an exciting match between India vs Australia in the World Cricket League (WCL) 2025 Match 10. Both the teams are blessed with great cricketing talent and as of the current form and balance of the two teams, it looks like Australia has a winning chance.
Having suffered a lot in the game, India has not yet won the tournament. They have not enjoyed a smooth trajectory as they have lost one of the matches and piled off one to weather conditions against Pakistan. This has reduced India to the last point of the point table and this will only increase pressure on their performance. Conversely, Australia who have had a balanced side are more superior in the second position on the points table with 3 points in 2 games.
India will be required to perform better by far in case they want to face up to Australia who look better on paper. They boast of pace attack, a good line of spinners and a decent bat-line and Australia is the team most likely to emerge the winner in this match.
India vs Australia Match:
The Indian team is not a consistent squad even though it has players who have extensive experience. They have not been able to perform through their batting lineage consisting of veterans including Yuvraj Singh, Shikar Dhawan and Suresh Raina. The bowling trotted by Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan and Vinay Kumar should improve to allow the team to match against the power house of the Australian team.
Australia however, is a team that is composed of match-winners. Australia with a mortal rate attack consisting of Brett Lee and John Hastings, and in addition, spin resources with Steve O Keefe and D Arcy Short appear to be well prepared to counter India batting. Australian top order which has Shaun Marsh, Chris Lynn and Ben Dunk among other players will be able to resist the pressure and deliver a competitive score.

Win Prediction:
Australia is the obvious favorite of this game as they are in better shape and form. They have a balanced team, which can deal with pressure in any circumstances due to batting strength, swift bowlers and spin attacks. Australia has players such as Brett Lee, Moises Henriques, and Chris Lynn and therefore it is likely to take control.
The Indian team despite the experienced players has not been able to perform in a number of areas, their batting and bowling consistency being the worst. But one should not discount the abilities of players such as Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, and Shikhar Dhawan who can change the match their way, once they are in form.
Prediction:
- Australia: 75% chance to win.
- India: 25% chance to win.
The balance and strength of Australia are the reasons why they are the favorites in this match, and they are in a good position to qualify for the semifinals. But India will be hoping that things change and they would have to bring their A game to put up a fight against Australia.
Conclusion:
On 27 th July, the India vs Australia match is going to be a thrilling one, and the cards are playing out dearly against the Indians. India will be required to not only come out and play but also their A-game to overcome the power of Australia. Although Australia is on an advantage when it comes to form and team balance, the experienced players in India can always turn the outcome in their favor once they gel in the day. The fans of cricket can anticipate an interesting match at the Headingley, Leeds.
