India vs Australia Highlights, Women's World Cup 2025 Semi Final: Historic win! India pull off biggest run chase in WODIs to reach World Cup final
India vs Australia Highlights, Women's World Cup 2025 Semi Final: In one of the most memorable performances in Women’s World Cup history, Jemimah Rodrigues’ unbeaten 127 powered India to a thrilling five-wicket victory over Australia, securing their spot in the final for the third time. The DY Patil Stadium witnessed history as India successfully chased down 339 — the highest-ever target in Women’s ODI history — reaching 341/5 in 48.3 overs.
Rodrigues, who entered the crease in the second over, displayed remarkable composure and control, crafting her innings around crisp placement and calculated aggression. Her 167-run partnership with captain Harmanpreet Kaur (89 off 88 balls) anchored India’s reply after early losses of Shafali Verma (8) and Smriti Mandhana (24).
At 59/2, India were in familiar territory, having faltered in similar situations before. But the duo ensured there was no repeat, blending smart running with timely boundaries. Harmanpreet’s authoritative strokeplay through the off side lifted the tempo, and once dew settled in, batting became easier.
Rodrigues survived two dropped catches — on 82 and 106 — but never lost focus, finishing unbeaten with 14 fours. As Amanjot Kaur struck the winning boundary, a teary-eyed Rodrigues sank to her knees while Harmanpreet celebrated the end of Australia’s 15-match unbeaten World Cup streak.
Earlier, Australia posted 338, thanks to Phoebe Litchfield’s 119 off 97 balls — her third ODI hundred — and valuable support from Ellyse Perry (77) and Ashleigh Gardner (63). India’s bowlers struggled early but Shree Charani’s late spell (2/49) pegged back the scoring.
India’s emphatic win not only dethroned the most successful team in women’s cricket history but also ensured a new name will be etched on the trophy, as they prepare to face South Africa in Sunday’s final.South Africa beat England in the first semifinal on Wednesday in Guwahati, with the final on Sunday.

IND W vs AUS W Live Score: Centurion Phoebe Litchfield speaks
After her sensational ton in the semi-final, 22-year-old Litchfield said, "It was awesome for the personal milestone, but I think as a team perspective, it's awesome to get over that 300 mark and put a competitive total on the board. I think just assessing the wicket, getting myself in, and then taking down the spinners when they put a ball in my area. But I think credit also goes to Pez (Perry) down the other end, keeping me going. And yeah, I think a full team effort there to get to 330 or whatever we got to. Yes and no (answering if off-side was her strong zone). I think I usually hit there because the fielders aren't there. Usually they've got the leg side kind of field out, so I kind of try and pick the gaps in that way. But yeah, it's a bit of a technical thing. I just slice balls all the time, but anyway. I think we would have taken that (338) at the start of the day, but probably left a few runs out there towards the back end. But I was really pleased to get over the 330 mark."
