HISTORY MADE! India Women Stun Australia in 2025 World Cup Semi — Into the Final in Style!

It finally happened — and what a night it was! The Indian women’s cricket team pulled off one of the greatest chases in World Cup history, defeating defending champions Australia in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 semi-final at Dr. D.Y. Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai.

India’s thrilling win — powered by Jemimah Rodrigues’ unbeaten 127 and Harmanpreet Kaur’s inspiring 89 — sent the home crowd into a frenzy and secured India’s place in the World Cup final.

India Fought Back and HOW!

Australia’s top order looked formidable early on. Phoebe Litchfield’s elegant 119 led the charge as the Aussies amassed a formidable total of 338.

India’s chase started with purpose. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur steadied the innings after early nerves, playing a commanding innings of 89.

But the star of the night — and possibly the tournament — was Jemimah Rodrigues.

Her unbeaten 127 off 118 balls was a masterclass in timing, composure, and resilience.
