Catch all the key moments from the India vs Australia Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 semifinal held at the D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday. This thrilling match saw India defeat Australia by five wickets, advancing to the final for a historic showdown.
The final on Sunday will be a landmark event as India faces South Africa, with both teams aiming to win their first-ever Women’s ODI World Cup title.
"Very proud. I don’t have words to express myself. Feeling great, this time we have crossed that line which we have been working towards for so many years. Today, we wanted everything to go in our favour in every situation, and kept telling ourselves to be there for the team, and that worked for us."
"That day (against England earlier), we realised we did not execute well. We were late by 2-3 overs; we could have taken risks a few overs earlier, and that cost us. That is what we discussed, that we have to be calculative. Once you are out of the game, it is hard to come back. I know it is 50 overs, but the last five overs are where you have to be very particular and calculative. We knew what we had to do in the same situation, and we wanted to finish it before the 50th over."
India’s calculated approach in the crucial final overs helped them successfully chase the target and secure a place in the final.
The India vs Australia semifinal featured a record-breaking chase and tactical mastery by India, who now look forward to a historic final against South Africa for their maiden World Cup title.
