Team India's hopes of a maiden Women's World Cup triumph are very much alive as the hosts defeated the defending champions, Australia, in the semifinal at DY Patil Sports Academy Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday, October 30.
With a 339-run target, the Women in Blue chased it down with nine balls to spare. Jemimah Rodrigues was the star performer with the bat as she played an unbeaten century knock to help India achieve the challenging target set by Australia. Her 167-run partnership for the third wicket with Harmanpree Kaur, who significantly contributed with a knock of 89 off 88 balls, proved to be the game-changing moment that powered India’s record chase.
