 
									Jemimah Rodrigues played the innings of her life, slamming a century for the ages as India pulled off a record chase to storm into the Women’s World Cup 2025 final with a five-wicket win over defending champions Australia in Navi Mumbai on Thursday. Rodrigues anchored the innings brilliantly with an unbeaten 127 off 134 balls, while skipper Harmanpreet Kaur made a crucial 89 off 88 deliveries as India chased down 339 – the highest target in an ODI World Cup knockout game. Deepti Sharma (24) and Richa Ghosh (26) also chipped in with handy contributions as India overhauled the target with nine balls to spare. They will face South Africa in the final.
