Overview:
Beth Mooney, who scored a hundred in the previous match, tried to take on Deepti Verma, but her effort proved disastrous for Australia.
Jemimah Rodrigues is one of the best fielders in women’s cricket. Despite not being at her best with the bat in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, she has contributed in the fielding department. When India were on the back foot in the game against Australia, she produced a magical moment in the middle to lift her teammates.
Beth Mooney, who scored a hundred in the previous match, tried to take on Deepti Sharma, but her effort proved disastrous for Australia. She played a drive, and Rodrigues dived to her left to complete the catch, leaving the batter stunned. She managed 4 runs off 8 balls.
Chasing 331 runs to win the game, captain Alyssa Healy scored a hundred to keep her team in the contest. It was her sixth ODI ton, third in the World Cup history and second against India. She faced 84 balls and hit 15 fours and 1 six.
Alyssa added 85 runs with Phoebe Litchfield, who managed 40 runs off 39 deliveries.
Healy then joined hands with Ellyse Perry, and stitched a stand of 69 runs before the latter retired hurt due to a hamstring injury. Perry left the field after scoring 32 off 40 deliveries.
