IND-W vs AUS-W Semifinal, ICC Women's World Cup 2025: Smriti Mandhana was left in disbelief and was seen shaking her head after her dismissal in the India vs Australia semifinal in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup 2025 at the DY Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Thursday.

Her dismissal was a huge blow to India in the challenging run chase after the third umpire overturned the on-field umpire’s decision. This was India's second wicket to fall as Kim Garth added to her tally.

On the second ball of the 10th over, Kim Garth bowled it down the leg side with Alyssa Healy up to the stumps. Smriti missed the flick, and Healy moved swiftly to her right to catch it. Both Healy and Garth appealed, but the umpire turned it down and signalled a wide. After some thought and a little discussion, Healy opted for a review. Mandhana shook her head when asked by her batting partner, Jemimah Rodrigues.

When the third umpire took a closer look, UltraEdge showed a spike as the ball passed the bat. Mandhana was left shocked and walked off, shaking her head.

The in-form Mandhana was dismissed for 24 runs in as many balls as India were reduced to 59/2 in the 10th over.

Earlier, Australia scripted history with the bat as they posted a record total of 338 on the back of Phoebe Litchfield's incredible century. The left-handed batter played an outstanding knock of 119 runs in 93 balls with the help of 17 fours and three sixes. On the other hand, Ash Gardner unleashed late fireworks with a 63-run knock in just 45 balls.
