India’s star batsman Jemimah Rodrigues performed a feat against Australia in the semi-finals of the Women’s World Cup 2025, which cricket history will always remember. In the match played at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, Jemima played her most memorable innings till date and took India to the final. After the match, Jemima became so emotional that she started crying bitterly on the field.

“I have cried almost every day…”

After the match, Jemima said emotionally, “I have cried almost every day during this entire tour. Mentally, I was not feeling well, I was going through a lot of nervousness and anxiety.”

She said, “I want to thank God, because all this was possible because of him. I want to thank my mother, father, coach and all the people who believed in me. The last one month was very difficult for me. It feels like a dream has come true.”

Jemima said, “I knew I just had to play on the field, God would take care of everything else. In the beginning I was just playing and talking to myself. As the match progressed, I was reading a line from the Bible, ‘Be calm, God will fight for you.’ I just stood… and truly, God fought for me,”

Gave credit to the team and audience

Jemima also gave credit to her colleagues and fans for this victory. She said, “There was a lot going on inside me, but I was trying to remain calm. When we won, I couldn’t control myself. When Harry Di came, I just had to make a good partnership. In the end, I was trying to push myself further, but my body was not supporting me. At that time, Deepti was talking to me on every ball, encouraging me. The rest of the team mates were motivating me. Every scream of the audience, every applause gave me energy. Yes, this victory is not just mine, it is for the whole of India.”

‘Played to win, not to get a century’

Jemima told that she came to know about batting at number 3 at the last moment. She said, “I was taking a shower when I was told that I will be at number 3. For me, this match was more about India’s victory than my innings. Today was not about a century or a half-century, but about helping the country win.”

Jemima’s unbeaten century innings

India had a huge target of 339 runs, but Jemimah completely turned the match around by making a partnership of 167 runs with captain Harmanpreet Kaur (89). Jemima scored unbeaten 127 runs in 134 balls, which included 14 fours. This inning of hers became India’s biggest run chase innings so far in the Women’s World Cup knockout.

IND W vs AUS W: History was made on Tuesday night at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Indian women’s team has made it to the World Cup final by defeating seven-time champion Australia. Happiness was seen everywhere on the field. When Amanjot Kaur hit a four in 48.3 overs and gave India victory, the entire team became emotional. The real story of this historic victory was written by Jemimah Rodriguez and Harmanpreet Kaur, who had tears of joy flowing from their eyes after the victory.

Jemima Rodriguez became emotional

Jemimah Rodriguez, who played an unbeaten inning of 127 runs with 17 fours, burst into tears when India secured a place in the final. All the players sitting in the dugout had their eyes on him.

When Jemima completed her century during her innings, she did not celebrate. She knew that “work still remains.” This maturity makes him different from other batsmen. When the camera turned towards her after the victory, Jemima had tears in her eyes.

Even Harmanpreet could not stop her tears

Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur also could not control herself in the emotional moment of this victory. When he hugged Jemima after playing a brilliant inning of 89 runs in 88 balls, both of them had moist eyes. This was the third consecutive knockout match for Harman, in which he scored a half-century. As captain, he took the team out of difficult situations and led it to victory with confidence.

Australia’s pride broken by historic partnership

While India was chasing the huge target of 339 runs, Harman and Jemima made a historic partnership of 167 runs for the third wicket. This partnership is considered to be one of the best in the history of Indian women’s cricket. At the same time, luck was also with India, Australian fielders dropped two easy catches, which completely changed the course of the match.

When Amanjot hit the winning four, the entire stadium echoed with slogans of ‘India-India’. On the field, Indian players hugged each other and cried bitterly and the spectators became witnesses of this historic victory.

India has made it to the final of the World Cup by defeating Australia by 5 wickets. Now the Indian team will face South Africa in the final on November 2. This is the biggest run chase in Women’s World Cup history. Australia, playing first in the semi-final match, had scored a huge score of 338 runs. Thanks to Jemimah Rodriguez’s unbeaten 127 runs and Harmanpreet Kaur’s 89 runs, the Indian team achieved the target with 9 balls remaining.

This is the second time in Women’s World Cup history that India has defeated Australia in the semi-final match. Earlier in the 2017 World Cup, the Indian team had defeated Australia by 36 runs. Defending champion Australia’s dream of becoming world champion for the eighth time remains unfulfilled.

India made world record

This is the highest score chased by any team in Women’s World Cup history. Earlier, the record of the biggest successful run chase was in the name of Australia, which had chased the target of 331 runs against India in the same World Cup. Also, this is only the second time in the World Cup when a team has chased a target of more than 300.

• 339 runs- India (vs Australia)
• 331 runs- Australia (vs India)
• 278 runs – Australia (vs India)
• 275 runs – South Africa (vs India)

Amazing work of Rodriguez-Harmanpreet

While chasing the target of 339 runs, India lost the wickets of Smriti Mandhana (24 runs) and Shefali Verma (10 runs) till the score of 59 runs. After this, Jemimah Rodriguez and Harmanpreet Kaur together made a historic partnership of 167 runs and brought India closer to victory. During this period, Harmanpreet and Rodriguez also got life support several times.

Harmanpreet got out on the score of 89 in the 36th over while trying to play a big shot. From here Rodriguez took the entire responsibility on his shoulders. First she added 38 runs with Deepti Sharma, then made a small but very important partnership of 46 runs with Richa Ghosh. Especially Richa Ghosh’s cameo inning of 26 runs played at a strike rate of 162 contributed a lot in bringing India closer to victory.

Australia’s experienced bowling disintegrated under pressure in the final overs. Meanwhile, catches were also missed by the fielders. Rodriguez returned unbeaten after scoring 127 runs, but the winning shot was hit by Amanjot Kaur, who returned unbeaten after scoring 15 runs in 8 balls.

If we look at the figures so far, Australia’s team is strong, but this time the Indian players are in a mood to change history on the field.

Kangaroo team is invincible, but India has a chance

Australia women’s team has been undefeated in the matches played so far in the World Cup. At the same time, Team India, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, has secured the ticket for the semi-finals by being fourth in the points table. Australia had definitely defeated India in the league match, but in that match the Indian batsmen had exposed the Kangaroo bowlers.

Team India had set a huge target of 330 runs in that match. This total is a winning score against any team, but captain Alyssa Healy’s explosive inning of 142 runs dashed Indian hopes. By winning that match, Australia recorded the biggest run chase in the history of women’s cricket.

India vs Australia head-to-head record

Both the teams have come face to face in 60 matches so far in Women’s One Day International. of which

Australia won: 49 matches

India won: 11 matches

That is, if seen, Australia has always had the upper hand in ODIs. Although these figures may be in favor of the Kangaroos, India has shown huge improvement in its performance in recent years.

Australia remained dominant in the World Cup too

Australia has also left India behind in the history of Women’s ODI World Cup. Both the teams have come face to face 14 times so far, out of which

India won: 3 matches

Australia won: 11 matches

But it is also true that whenever the Indian women’s team is under pressure, they have shown charismatic performances many times. This time something like this can be seen in the semi-final match also.

The hour of revenge and India’s self-confidence

Considering the excellent form of players like Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, and Deepti Sharma, the Indian team has the ability to change history this time. In the semi-finals, India has a chance to not only make it to the finals but also settle the old score with the Kangaroo team.
