New Delhi: It was a night that redefined women’s cricket. Under the floodlights of DY Patil Stadium Navi Mumbai India scripted a monumental win over world champions Australia chasing down 339 to storm into the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 final. Led by a calm and composed Jemimah Rodrigues whose unbeaten century anchored India’s record-breaking chase this match will go down as one of the greatest ever played in the history of the sport. Jemimah Rodrigues – The Calm Amid the Storm When the world expected fireworks after her century Jemimah Rodrigues didn’t celebrate.
