Overview
- India hunted down 338 to finish 341/5 in 48.3 overs for a five-wicket win with nine balls to spare, ending Australia’s long unbeaten World Cup run.
- A 167-run third-wicket stand between Jemimah Rodrigues and captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who made 89, turned the chase decisively.
- Rodrigues, named player of the match, struck 14 fours and completed the biggest successful chase in women’s ODI history and a World Cup knockout record.
- Australia posted 338 after Phoebe Litchfield’s 119, supported by Ellyse Perry’s 77 and Ashleigh Gardner’s 63 at DY Patil Stadium.
- Alyssa Healy dropped Rodrigues on 82 and other chances went down, while Rodrigues later revealed recent anxiety and said she had “almost cried every day” on tour.
