Hi there! Welcome to Episode 333 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 is off to a flying start, and we’re breaking down all the action from the first four games! 

From India’s lower-order rescue act against Sri Lanka to Ashleigh Gardner and Sophie Devine lighting up the Australia–New Zealand clash, from Bangladesh’s statement win over Pakistan to England’s ruthless demolition of South Africa — this episode has it all.

Joining me is Janani as we dive deep into collapses, comebacks, rivalries, and standout performances that are already shaping this tournament. 

Was India’s batting collapse a warning sign? Are Australia still setting the tone despite early wobbles? Is Bangladesh becoming Pakistan’s World Cup nemesis? And should South Africa hit the panic button after a 69 all-out shocker?

Tune in for a detailed, conversational breakdown of the big talking points, turning moments, and what it all means for the road ahead in this World Cup.
