Jemimah Rodrigues’ Unbeaten 127 Powers India to Record-Breaking Win Over Australia, Seals World Cup Final Berth

Jemimah Rodrigues delivered a stunning unbeaten 127 as India chased down 339 to defeat Australia by five wickets and storm into the Women’s World Cup final — their highest-ever successful chase in tournament history.

After early wickets, Harmanpreet Kaur’s composed 89 and her vital century stand with Rodrigues turned the game decisively in India’s favour.

Australia, batting first, posted 338 all out, powered by Phoebe Litchfield’s 119 and Ashleigh Gardner’s quick-fire 63, while Sree Charani claimed crucial wickets for India.

Played at the DY Patil Stadium, the win revived memories of Harmanpreet’s iconic 171 against Australia in 2017, as Rodrigues’ innings scripted a new chapter in Indian women’s cricket.

India now march into the World Cup final, eyeing their first-ever title and cementing their status as genuine contenders on the world stage.
