India created history by successfully chasing 339 against Australia in the Women's World Cup semi-final, the highest successful chase in women's ODI history. Jemimah Rodrigues scored an unbeaten 127, partnering with captain Harmanpreet Kaur (89) for a crucial 167-run third-wicket stand. India won with nine balls and five wickets remaining at DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai. Multiple records fell: first-ever 300+ chase in any ODI World Cup knockout (men's or women's), highest tournament match aggregate (679 runs), and Phoebe Litchfield became the youngest century-scorer in Women's World Cup knockouts. Australia's 15-match World Cup winning streak since 2017 ended. India faces South Africa in Sunday's final, guaranteeing a new champion.
