India scripted one of the greatest comebacks in ICC Women’s ODI World Cup history, chasing down a record 339 to beat defending champions Australia by five wickets in the semifinal at Navi Mumbai.
Jemimah Rodrigues starred with a majestic unbeaten 127, guiding India to 341/5 — the highest successful chase in any ODI World Cup knockout. She added 167 runs with Harmanpreet Kaur (89), India’s best-ever partnership in a World Cup knockout.
Earlier, Australia posted 338, powered by Phoebe Litchfield’s 119. With this win, India entered their third World Cup final, ending Australia’s 15-match unbeaten streak in World Cups.
