ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 Semi-Final: Jemimah Rodrigues’ Unbeaten 127 Guides India to Glory
What a night, what a knock! Against mighty and unbeatable Australians in the semi-final of the Women’s World Cup, Jemimah Rodrigues did not just play a match; she rewrote one. India was staring at a mountain-339 to chase-and there came a moment when it seemed history would repeat itself: the heartbreaks, near misses, and collapses under pressure. But then came Jemimah-calm, fearless, and silently determined. (Image courtesy: femalecricket)
The Mountain India Had to Climb
338 is a massive total put up by the Aussies, which teams in the past have succumbed to. India started off nervously, having lost early wickets, and the pressure was choking. But this time, something was different. The moment Jemimah walked in, the look in her eyes told it: this wasn’t going to be another almost-there story. (Image courtesy: thebridge)
Pressure cannot ruffle Jemimah Rodrigues
Coming in to bat at three, Jemimah Rodrigues played the innings of her life. She scored 127 off 134 to propel India to the finals. Every stroke was measured, each timing faultless. She never tried to overpower the game-she out-thought it. And at the other end, there was Harmanpreet Kaur; together the duo rebuilt a partnership which stitched India’s hopes back together. It wasn’t some flashy cricket-this was intelligent, determined, and heartbreakingly beautiful to watch. (Images courtesy: moneycontrol)

Grit, Grace, and the Art of Composure
What made the 127 not out by Jemimah Rodrigues unforgettable was the grace she carried through it. Instead of crumbling under the pressure of the massive chase, she recalibrated. Between deliveries, she could be seen whispering to herself, calming her nerves, steadying her breath. That is mental strength at its peak. (Image courtesy: newsx)

The roar in the stands said it all when Jemimah guided the final run. India had just pulled off the highest successful chase in Women’s ODI history. But what stole the show was what came thereafter, Jemimah’s tearful embrace with her father, no theatrics, no arrogance, just pure and heartfelt emotion. This win was personal for India. A reminder that this team doesn’t crumble; it rises. Jemimah Rodrigues showed that belief can move mountains, and sometimes, even chase down 339 runs. (Image courtesy: hscicdn)
