Is Ellyse Perry Out of IND vs AUS ICC Women's World Cup Match?

Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry was forced to leave the field due to an injury during the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 clash against India in Visakhapatnam. The incident occurred after the final delivery of the 24th over, when Perry pushed a ball from Shree Charani towards cover and jogged through for a single.

After the run, she appeared uncomfortable and signalled for medical attention. The team physio attended to her, and although Perry initially tried to carry on, she soon limped off the field, retiring hurt on 32 off 40 deliveries.

Ellyse Perry Injury Forces her to Retire Hurt

Ellyse Perry had to leave the field after appearing to suffer a possible hamstring issue. Before her exit, Perry had built a promising 69-run stand with Australian skipper Alyssa Healy, setting a strong foundation as they chased India’s 331-run total. While early signs suggested it may have been a case of cramping, reports suggested it was a hamstring issue.

The star Australian all-rounder looked devastated as she left the field in frustration. Beth Mooney took Perry’s place at the crease but failed to make an impact, falling to Deepti Sharma after managing just four runs off eight balls.

Australia’s run chase got off to a strong start, thanks to an 85-run stand between skipper Alyssa Healy and young opener Phoebe Litchfield. Litchfield played an attacking knock, scoring 40 off 39 balls before getting out by Charani, which brought Ellyse Perry to the crease at number three.

Perry looked in good touch early on, reaching 32 off 40 deliveries. However, during an attempted front-foot drive, she seemed to overreach and immediately appeared uncomfortable. The sight of Ellyse Perry retired hurt and limping off, sparked concern for the Aussie management, particularly given her recent struggles with injuries.

Earlier this year, during a bilateral series in India, Perry was also forced to retire hurt because of a calf strain. At the time, captain Alyssa Healy had dismissed it as a minor niggle with no impact on World Cup plans. However, if it is a serious injury, then this will be a big blow to the Australian side as they will lose one of Australia’s most seasoned campaigners at a crucial point in the tournament.

Ellyse Perry Hits Winning Six

The thrilling IND vs AUS Women World Cup game at Visakhapatnam, proved why these two teams have built the greatest rivalry in cricket over the years. India got off to a dream start with a commanding opening partnership between Smriti Mandhana and youngster Pratika Rawal, who laid a solid foundation with a one-fifty-plus stand.

Mandhana’s knock was particularly significant as she crossed the 5,000-run mark in ODIs, becoming only the second Indian woman to do so after Mithali Raj. Despite a mini-collapse in the middle overs, India managed to post an impressive total of 330/10 in 48.5 overs. Australia’s chase began strongly with Alyssa Healy and Phoebe Litchfield putting up an 85-run opening stand.

However, the momentum briefly shifted when Litchfield was dismissed, and Ellyse Perry, after looking settled on 32, had to retire hurt with what appeared to be a hamstring issue. India clawed their way back with timely wickets and sharp fielding, but Australia’s experienced middle order held their nerve under pressure. They showed why they are the best women's cricket team in the world.

The match saw several momentum shifts, and although India fought with all their heart, Australia edged ahead in the final overs to seal a close win. Interestingly, it was Perry herself who finished off the game with a six.
