Jemimah Rodrigues has been the talk of the nation following her match-winning century against seven-time champions Australia in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 semifinal in Navi Mumbai on Thursday, October 30. The 25-year-old scored an unbeaten 127 runs off 134 balls with the help of 14 boundaries as India beat the Aussies by five wickets and reached the tournament final.
The gritty knock was put on display after the Women in Blue lost openers Shafali Verma (10) and Smriti Mandhana (24) in a 339-run chase. Rodrigues stitched a 167-run partnership with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (89) to help India bounce back in the contest. Notably, the hosts had lost regular opener and in-form batter, Pratika Rawal, ahead of the knockout game.
Jemimah has amassed 268 runs in six innings in the ongoing ICC event. The right-handed batter was equally impressive with the bat in a must-win game against New Zealand, scoring a quickfire 76 not out from 55 deliveries. She will now look to continue her red-hot form in the summit clash against South Africa as India await their maiden Women’s ODI World Cup title.
In this article, we will compare Jemimah Rodrigues’ record with India’s middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer in ODIs.
