India Reach Women’s World Cup Final With Record Chase Over Australia

India will face South Africa on Sunday at DY Patil Stadium.

Overview

  • Jemimah Rodrigues struck 127 not out off 134 balls and shared a 167-run stand with captain Harmanpreet Kaur (89) to anchor the pursuit.
  • India finished 341/5 in 48.3 overs to complete the highest successful chase in an ODI World Cup knockout with nine balls to spare.
  • Australia posted 338 after opting to bat, led by Phoebe Litchfield’s 119, Ellyse Perry’s 77 and Ashleigh Gardner’s 63.
  • Key turning points included Smriti Mandhana’s dismissal for 24 via DRS and two dropped chances that gave Rodrigues crucial reprieves.
  • The result ended Australia’s extended World Cup unbeaten run — reported as 15 or 16 matches — and Rodrigues later spoke about recent mental-health struggles.
