    Women's World Cup: It Was About Winning For India, Says Jemimah After Leading Hosts To Final

    ODI World Cup: Jemimah Rodrigues dedicated her career-defining knock to faith, family, and resilience after guiding India into the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup final with a historic five-wicket win over defending champions Australia at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday.

    “Firstly, I want to thank Jesus. I couldn’t have carried it alone,” said Rodrigues, who was named Player of the Match for her unbeaten 127. “Last six months have been tough. I was dropped from this World Cup last year, and I have cried every day. I was going through anxiety. I just had to show up every day, and God carried me through.”

    Chasing a daunting 339, India stumbled early after losing openers Shafali Verma (10) and Smriti Mandhana (24) cheaply. But Rodrigues, showing maturity and calm beyond her years, joined forces with captain Harmanpreet Kaur to stage one of the greatest chases in World Cup history.
