										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jemimah Rodrigues delivered a sensational performance, scoring an unbeaten 127 from 134 balls as India chased down a record 339-run target to secure a spot in the Women’s World Cup final after defeating Australia by five wickets in Navi Mumbai on Thursday.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket1-e1761847242882.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-26402 aligncenter" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket1-e1761847242882-300x185.jpg" alt="" width="556" height="343" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket1-e1761847242882-300x185.jpg 300w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket1-e1761847242882-1024x632.jpg 1024w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket1-e1761847242882-768x474.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket1-e1761847242882-750x463.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket1-e1761847242882-1140x704.jpg 1140w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket1-e1761847242882.jpg 1195w" sizes="(max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px" /></a>Chasing 339, Rodrigues anchored the innings alongside captain Harmanpreet Kaur who contributed 89 from 88 balls ensuring India’s steady progress. Deepti Sharma scored 24 and Richa Ghosh added 26 to support the chase, allowing India to reach the target with nine balls remaining. India will face South Africa in the final.</p>
<p>Earlier, Australia posted a challenging 338 with Phoebe Litchfield scoring 119, Ellyse Perry 77, and Ashleigh Gardner 63. A key spell from Shree Charani, who took two wickets for nine runs in three overs, dismissed Beth Mooney and Annabel Sutherland, preventing Australia from scoring even higher.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket4-e1761847314720.jpg"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-26404 aligncenter" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket4-e1761847314720-300x227.jpg" alt="" width="519" height="393" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket4-e1761847314720-300x227.jpg 300w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket4-e1761847314720-1024x773.jpg 1024w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket4-e1761847314720-768x580.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket4-e1761847314720-750x566.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket4-e1761847314720-1140x861.jpg 1140w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/cricket4-e1761847314720.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>Charani’s disciplined bowling helped India regain control despite other bowlers struggling on a flat track and a few fielding lapses increasing the challenge.</p></blockquote>
<p>Australia had built a strong position at 220 for 2 before losing four quick wickets, with Gardner’s quick 63 from 45 balls pushing the total past 300. Australia were eventually bowled out for 338.</p>
<p>India’s captain Kaur missed an early catch off Alyssa Healy in the third over, but the Australian captain fell cheaply in the sixth over. Litchfield’s 22-year-old brilliance in her third ODI century set the tone for Australia’s big score. She displayed an impressive range of strokes, including reverse sweeps and lofted drives, finishing with 17 fours and three sixes.</p>
<blockquote><p>Litchfield’s partnership with Perry added 155 runs for the second wicket before Litchfield was briefly dismissed incorrectly and recalled by the umpires. Perry contributed a valuable 77 off 88 balls including six fours and two sixes.</p></blockquote>

<p>India’s bowling and fielding efforts were inconsistent early on, but Kranti Gaud removed Healy before a brief rain interruption. Despite some key wickets, bowlers like Renuka and Deepti Sharma struggled to maintain control, with Deepti finishing with two wickets for 73.</p>
<p>Rodrigues’ outstanding innings, however, proved decisive, guiding India through a historic victory and into the final.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a significant blow to India’s Women’s World Cup campaign, in-form opener <strong>Pratika Rawal</strong> has been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament after suffering injuries to her knee and ankle during the clash against Bangladesh on Sunday.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pratika3-e1761565856911.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-26288 aligncenter" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pratika3-e1761565856911-300x149.jpg" alt="" width="626" height="311" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pratika3-e1761565856911-300x149.jpg 300w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pratika3-e1761565856911-1024x510.jpg 1024w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pratika3-e1761565856911-768x383.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pratika3-e1761565856911-360x180.jpg 360w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pratika3-e1761565856911-750x374.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pratika3-e1761565856911-1140x568.jpg 1140w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pratika3-e1761565856911.jpg 1345w" sizes="(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px" /></a>The 25-year-old twisted her right ankle while fielding in the final ball of the 21st over at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. As she sprinted from deep midwicket to stop the ball, her foot got caught in the turf, causing her to collapse in visible pain.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Although a stretcher was brought onto the field, Rawal managed to walk off with the help of support staff. A BCCI official later confirmed that the nature of the injury makes her unavailable for the upcoming knockout stages.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pratika.jpg"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-26286 aligncenter" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pratika.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="347" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“The way she fell, it was clear she wouldn’t recover in time. It’s a very unfortunate situation,” the official said.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Rawal had been one of India’s standout performers in the tournament, scoring <strong>308 runs in six innings</strong> at an average of <strong>51.33</strong>. She notched up her maiden World Cup century against New Zealand and also became the joint-fastest player to reach 1,000 runs in women’s ODIs. Her partnership with **Smriti Mandhana** at the top of the order has been crucial to India’s success so far.</p>
<p>India is set to face <strong>defending champions Australia</strong> in the semifinal on Thursday, with the final scheduled for Sunday. Adding to the team’s concerns, Richa Ghosh’s fitness also remains uncertain after she injured her finger against New Zealand and missed the Bangladesh match.</p>
