Jemimah Rodrigues Shines in Thrilling Semi-Final Win<\/strong><\/p>\n In an unforgettable evening at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, Jemimah Rodrigues was overcome with joy after leading India to a stunning victory over Australia in the semi-final of the 2025 Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup. The young star, 25, embraced her parents in a moment filled with emotion after scoring an incredible unbeaten 127 runs.<\/p>\n With India chasing 339 runs, the match marked the highest successful run chase in women\u2019s ODI history<\/strong>. After a shaky start, Rodrigues joined forces with captain Harmanpreet Kaur to form a powerful partnership, amassing 167 runs together. Rodrigues\u2019 innings, which took 134 balls and included 14 boundaries, showcased her skill and determination.<\/p>\n \u201cIt Feels Like a Dream\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n This victory also ended Australia\u2019s impressive 16-match unbeaten run in World Cup competitions and secured India a place in the final for only the third time, following 2005 and 2017.<\/p>\n In her post-match interview, Rodrigues expressed heartfelt gratitude, saying, \u201cFirstly, I want to thank Jesus. I couldn\u2019t have done this on my own. I appreciate my mum, dad, coach, and everyone who believed in me. The past four months have been tough, but this feels like a dream, and I can\u2019t believe it yet.\u201d<\/p>\n A Journey of Resilience<\/strong><\/p>\n Rodrigues\u2019 journey through the tournament had its challenges. She struggled early on, facing ducks against Sri Lanka and South Africa. After being left out of the match against England, she returned with determination, scoring impressively against New Zealand.<\/p>\n Although she didn\u2019t bat against Bangladesh, Rodrigues came back strong in the semi-final, earning the Player of the Match award. Throughout 2025, she has proven her talent, gathering 747 runs in 19 games with an average of 53.35 and a strike rate of 107.32, including three centuries.<\/p>\n – Ends<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jemimah Rodrigues Shines in Thrilling Semi-Final Win In an unforgettable evening at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, Jemimah Rodrigues was overcome with joy after leading India to a stunning victory over Australia in the semi-final of the 2025 Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup.
