In 1973, the first women's ODI World Cup was played, two years before the inaugural men's World Cup. It was contested by seven teams, with teams battling for 60 overs, not 50. However, India made their debut in the 1978 tournament, and Australia, England, and New Zealand joined them. Though the final match was again a de facto final, this time Australia triumphed over the holders at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium in Hyderabad.
