New Delhi: Jemimah Rodrigues smashed an unbeaten 127 to help India pull off a record ODI chase of 339 against Australia in a thrilling second semifinal contest of the women's World Cup 2025. Rodrigues along with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (89) put on 167 runs for the third wicket as India won the game with nine balls and five wickets to spare in Navi Mumbai.
Amanjot Kaur smashed the winning boundary as there were celebrations in the Indian camp with smiles and tears of joy. After the record chase, India will now face South Africa in the final at the same venue on Sunday, as the 50-over showpiece event will have a new champion. Meanwhile, during the game, there were a number of world records broken.
Seven-time champions Australia faltered in the defence of their title suffering their first defeat in the ODI World Cup after 15 wins since 2017 when India had beaten them in the semifinal.
Here are some records
- India made the record for the highest successful run-chase in the history of women's ODI, surpassing Australia's chase of 331 against India in the league stage in this edition earlier this month.
- This also became the first time a team chased 300 or more in an ODI World Cup knockout, men's and women's both.
- A total of 679 runs were scored by India and Australia which became the highest in the history of the tournament. The last record was in 2017 World Cup when England and South Africa scored a total of 678 runs.
- Australian dashing opener Phoebe Litchfield scripted history after she became the youngest player to smash a hundred in a women's World Cup knockout match.
Meanwhile, the victory has not only ensured a spot for India in the final of the showpiece event but also lifted their confidence to another level. Meeting the Proteas in the summit clash would be slightly easier but the pressure of a big game is what India need to absorb.
