Stats: India's record chase ends Australia's record streak

All the stats highlights from India's remarkable win over Australia in the Women's World Cup 2025 semi-final in Navi Mumbai.

The record-chase

339 by India is the highest target successfully chased down in Women's ODI, bettering Australia's 331 in Visakhapatnam earlier this month. India's previous highest was 265 against the same opponent in MacKay in 2021 - one that had ended Australia's record 26-match winning streak in the format.

It also happened to be the first instance of a 300-plus total being gunned down in an ODI World Cup knockout - Men's or Women's. The previous highest had come in the Men's CWC 2015 semifinal: 298 by New Zealand against South Africa in Auckland.

Remarkably, India had never chased down a 200-plus total in the Women's World Cup previously, their highest coming against Pakistan (target: 193) in Cuttack in 2013.

Highest targets successfully chased down in Women's ODIs

679 runs scored in the game accounted for the second-highest match aggregate in Women's ODIs, after these two teams had racked up 781 in Delhi last month.

Highest aggregates in Women's ODIs

341/5 by India today was also the second-highest score in a Women's ODI run-chase, after their own 369 all-out against the same team in Delhi last month.

14 sixes were hit in the match today, the most in a Women's World Cup match ever, bettering 13 between these two teams in Visakhapatnam last month. Overall, 124 sixes have been hit in the tournament so far, the highest ever in a World Cup edition, surpassing 111 in 2017.

India halt Australia's juggernaut

15 - Australia had headed into this game on the back of 15 straight wins at the Women's World Cup, a sequence that had spanned across the 2022 and the ongoing edition post their 2017 semi-final defeat to India. Their 15-match streak remains the joint-longest in the competition's history; they had won as many across the 1997 and 2000 editions.

2 - This was just the second-defeat for Australia in the Women's World Cup semifinals to go with four wins. Both defeats for the seven-time champions came against India, the previous dating back to 2017. India have qualified for the Women's ODI WC final for the third time; they had finished runners up in 2005 and 2017. For the first time ever, a Women's World Cup final will feature neither Australia nor England.

Rodrigues stands out in the epic run-fest

127* by Rodrigues is now the highest individual score for India Women in an ODI run-chase, surpassing 125 by Smriti Mandhana against the same opponent last month. The previous highest in a successful chase was Mandhana's 106* against the West Indies in Taunton during the 2017 World Cup.

It was the second hundred for an India batter in a World Cup knockout, after Harmanpreet Kaur's 171* in the 2017 semi-final.

Rodrigues also became the second batter to register a hundred in a WC knockout run-chase, after Nat-Sciver Brunt (148*) had done that in the 2022 final.

167 runs added by Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur made it the highest partnership against Australia in the Women's World Cup, surpassing 157 between Mithali Raj and Punam Raut in Bristol in 2017. It also happened to be the sixth 150-plus stand in a Women's World Cup knockout, and the previous five had all been for Australia, including 155 between Phoebe Litchfield and Ellyse Perry earlier in the day.

3- 50-plus scores for Harmanpreet Kaur in the Women's ODI World Cup knockouts in as many innings, a number matched by Rachael Haynes (three innings) Nat Sciver-Brunt (five innings) and bettered only by Belinda Clark (four in six innings). Before her 89 on Thursday, the right-hander had struck 171* and 51 in the semi-final and the final respectively at the 2017 edition.

Aged 22y 195d, Phoebe Litchfield became the youngest to hit a century in a Women's World Cup knockout game, and the second-youngest for Australia in the competition's history, after Meg Lanning had done that at 20y 317d against New Zealand in Cuttack in 2013.

6 individual hundreds for Australia in the tournament is the most for any team in a single World Cup surpassing five each for England in 1993 and 2017 respectively.
