Jemimah Rodrigues’ stunning century powers India to historic five wicket victory over Australia, obtaining final spot in the World Cup.

The Indian women's cricket team defeated Australia by five wickets on Thursday at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai by obtaining their spot in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 final. India won the essential semifinal because of the wonderful century from star batsman Jemimah Rodrigues, who had a winning game innings.

Australia was undefeated throughout the campaign and had already collected a huge total of 338 runs in 49.5 overs. Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner both scored half-centuries to put their team in a solid position, while Phoebe Litchfield's spectacular century pushed their innings. In a Women's World Cup knockout match, it was the highest goal ever set.

Jemimah Rodrigues was the star of the show, but Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma gave India a strong start with a smart move as they chased 339. Batting at number three, she led India's chase with comfort and confidence. With the assistance of Richa Ghosh and Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Rodrigues brought India home with a few overs left, finishing unbeaten and obtaining one of India's greatest victories in women's cricket history. After the game, Jemimah acknowledged her family, coaches, and faith. "Today wasn't about my hundred," she remarked. “Making India win was the goal”.

India will now play South Africa in the World Cup final on Sunday after this victory. In the first semifinal, South Africa had already beaten over England. With India aiming for their very first Women's World Cup victory, the upcoming final looks to be a fascinating match.
