As Amanjot Kaur struck the winning boundary to seal India’s five-wicket victory over Australia in the ICC Women’s World Cup semifinal, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur rushed out to embrace centurion Jemimah Rodrigues, whose unbeaten ton powered the historic chase.
Harmanpreet hailed the triumph as the result of six months of hard work under coach Amol Muzumdar. Reflecting on India’s earlier loss to England, she said the team learned to stay calm and calculated in crunch moments.
Praising Jemimah’s composure and responsibility, Harman credited her for holding the innings together and thanked fans for their unwavering support ahead of the final.
