(Express Photo by Amit Chakravarty)The Indian women’s team secured an unprecedented victory over Australia at Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium on Thursday, qualifying for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 final in a historic match. It was a win with monumental credentials: the highest chase in women’s ODIs, and the highest successful chase in any World Cup knockout match, including men’s cricket.
A stunning knock from local star Jemimah Rodrigues, who scored 127 runs, inspired a nation and led India to a five-wicket semifinal victory. She was ably supported by skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who once again rose to the occasion under extreme pressure, scoring a decisive 89 runs.
Since Thursday night, the win has set social media abuzz, with congratulatory posts for the Women in Blue pouring in from around the world. From Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar to Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Mithali Raj, supportive messages have flooded the internet.
What a victory by our team over a mighty opponent like Australia. A great chase by the girls and a standout performance by Jemimah in a big game. A true display of resilience, belief, and passion. Well done, Team India! 🇮🇳
