Having won the first two matches, the Indian women's team sits comfortably at the top of the table.

The Indian women’s side has started their World Cup 2025 campaign on a winning note, securing four points from the first two matches, including a victory against PAK women’s side. However, there are five more games to go, and India must win as many as possible if they wish to reach the semi-finals and then the finale.

Over the years, the Indian women’s side has shown remarkable progress, reaching the World Cup finale on a few occasions but never lifting the trophy. In high-pressure matches, the team consistently faltered and failed to touch the trophy.

Now, the question is, will India’s women bring the trophy home this year? Be it us or cricket pundits, determining the winner of a tournament is simply impossible. Therefore, we turned to AI to find out the answer to the impossible question.

India’s strengths

According to ChatGPT, India’s biggest strength is its depth in spin bowling, which is particularly notable in the subcontinent, thanks to the presence of Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Radha Yadav, and Sree Charani. Even in seam, India has capable options such as Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Gaud, and Renuka Singh.

In terms of batting, India also has quality players such as Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, and Harleen Deol. Not to forget, Pratika Rawal also has a heavy ODI run tally.

India’s weakness

Despite a strong squad, India has multiple weaknesses. For example, several players on the team are playing in the World Cup for the first time. Therefore, they lack the experience to handle big matches. Given that the team relies mostly on spins, if spin bowlers fail to execute, the opponent teams will put too much pressure on the pace, which can become wobbly. ChatGPT also states that the Indian side isn’t very capable of chasing high targets against quality opponents.

India vs. top contenders

India itself is a top contender, but when it comes to oppositions like Australia and England, India is still a league above. The Australian bench boasts world-class balance, elite fielding, and a finishing side that also has the experience of playing in big matches and under pressure in death overs.

Moving on to England, the team boasts of some of the best all-rounders in the world, such as Nat Sciver-Brunt (capt.), Sophie Ecclestone, Tammy Beaumont, and Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who are capable of single-handedly winning matches.

Final verdict

ChatGPT’s final verdict suggests that India has only a 25 per cent chance of winning. Australia tops the list at 30, whereas, surprisingly, England sits below India at 20 per cent. However, ChatGPT highlighted, “India is a legitimate contender (home advantage + spin depth + Mandhana/Harmanpreet core), but the more likely outcome is that they fall short (semi or final) given Australia’s balance and England’s depth in pressure phases. In plain terms: India can win it, but “not winning” is still the likelier result.”
