India’s stunning record chase in the Women’s World Cup 2025 semi-final
The Women in Blue made history in the semi-final at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai by chasing down a massive target of 339 runs set by a formidable Australian team. This chase became the highest successful run chase in the history of women’s ODI cricket and in knockout World Cup matches across both men’s and women’s formats. Jemimah Rodrigues played a career-best unbeaten innings, scoring 127 off 134 balls, guiding India to a five-wicket victory with nine balls to spare. Her masterclass alongside strong starts from Smriti Mandhana and consistent support from the middle order paved the way for this historic win.
The match was a nail-biter, marking the end of Australia‘s 15-match unbeaten streak in World Cups, a testament to India’s fighting spirit and skillful execution under pressure. The team’s ability to overcome early setbacks during the tournament and scale new heights in such a crucial game has been lauded as one of the greatest achievements in Indian women’s cricket. Now, India gear up to face South Africa in the final, with hopes soaring high for their first-ever Women’s ODI World Cup title.
