IND-W vs AUS-W Semifinal Match Records: India produced a memorable effort to beat Australia in the semifinal of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Thursday. On the back of a famous five-wicket victory, India made it to the final of the tournament, where they will face South Africa at the same venue on Sunday.

India pulled the highest successful run chase in the history of women's ODI cricket to outclass the seven-time and defending world champions, Australia. Jemimah Rodrigues probably played the best innings of her life so far as India chased down the 339-run target in 48.3 overs. The Women's ODI WC will have a new champion as both India and South Africa are yet to lift the trophy. This will be India's only third appearance in the final.
