India Vs Australia, ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 SF: Rodrigues’ Ton Powers IND-W Into Final

Jemimah Rodrigues produced a masterclass under pressure, hammering an unbeaten 127 to script one of India’s greatest chases as they stunned defending champions Australia by five wickets to storm into the Women’s World Cup final. Chasing a record 339, Rodrigues found perfect support in skipper Harmanpreet Kaur’s fluent 89, while Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh made handy cameos to seal victory with nine balls remaining. Earlier, Phoebe Litchfield’s blazing 119 and Ellyse Perry’s 77 powered Australia to 338, with Ashleigh Gardner adding a late 65, but India’s spirited pursuit turned the semifinal on its head. South Africa await in the final.
