The ODI Women's World Cup 2025 saw one of its best matches as Harmanpreet Kaur-led India produced a fantastic performance in the semifinal that not only saw the captain but also Jemimah Rodrigues smash a brilliant knock to help her side win the all-important clash to lead them into the final.
In the post-match interview, Rodrigues, who got emotional after the win, said, “Firstly, I would like to thank Jesus because I couldn’t do this on my own. I know he carried me through today. I want to thank my mom, my dad, my coach, and every single person who believed in me during this time.”
