Women’s ODI Tri-series: Jemimah, Amanjot Take India To 23-run Win Over SA, Seal Spot In Final
Premadasa International Cricket Stadium: Jemimah Rodrigues' smashed a superb 123, while Amanjot Kaur picked 3-59 on her international comeback as India beat South Africa by 23 runs and sealed their spot in the final of women’s ODI tri-series at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
Pushed into batting first, India were reduced to 50/3 in seven overs. But Jemimah, coming out to bat at number five, stepped up with her variety of sweeps and beautiful shots over extra cover, apart from proactive strike rotation, to hit her second ODI hundred in just 88 balls. Overall, her 123 runs came off 101 balls, laced with 15 fours and a six.
She also shared a 122-run partnership with Deepti Sharma, who hit a fabulous 93 – also her first ODI fifty after last hitting one against England at Lord's in 2022. Vice-captain Smriti Mandhana also hit 51 as India posted a mammoth 337/9 in 50 overs, and were also helped by South Africa being sloppy in their ground fielding.
