Women’s World Cup: Diwali Eve Heartbreak As India Implode In Chase, England Seal Semi-final Spot (Ld)

By IANS News October 20, 2025 • 09:01 AM View: 508

Under the festive glow on the eve of Diwali, Holkar Stadium was a cauldron of anticipation, with 16,300 spectators eyeing to celebrate an Indian victory. Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur had set the stage for India’s highest successful chase with their third-wicket stand going past a century.

Needing just 57 runs off 57 balls with seven wickets in hand, India were well on course to hunt down England’s 288/8. With a buoyant mood and electrifying crowd, everything was going as anticipated till things fell apart sensationally in a script which felt all too familiar.
