When Amanjot Kaur hit the winning boundary, Jemimah fell to her knees in tears, overwhelmed by the moment. Harmanpreet, equally emotional, was consoled by head coach Amol Muzumdar. The atmosphere in the dressing room and stands was electric as teammates rushed onto the field to celebrate one of India’s biggest victories.

Former players and fans flooded social media with tributes. One commentator called it: “The greatest chase in the history of women’s cricket and all the credit goes to Jemimah Rodrigues. An innings of a lifetime from her.”

With this emotional triumph, India booked a place in the final, where they will face South Africa at the same venue. The team’s unity, resilience and belief have created new hope to see a new champion lift the trophy.
