Jemimah Rodrigues Shines During India's Run Chase

In the fourth delivery of the 42nd over, the 25-year-old took a single to complete her third ODI century. The hundred came at a crucial time when the Women in Blue needed it the most. She did not celebrate her century, as the young sensation knows that the bigger goal is to clinch a win over Australia.

Jemimah Rodrigues struggled a lot in the beginning of the tournament, but that did not demotivate the 25-year-old before the crucial stage. During India's opening match at the Women's World Cup 2025, Jemimah was dismissed for a duck. Later in the second game, the middle-order batter was dropped. However, the right-handed batter made a solid comeback and helped the Women in Blue's run chase during the second innings against Australia in the semi-finals. 

It was just the second century for Team India in the Women’s World Cup semi-finals or the final after Harmanpreet Kaur’s unbeaten 171-run knock in 2017.
