‘Proud Of Our Women In Blue’: Sehwag, Pant, De Villiers Hail India’s Epic Run Chase To Reach Final
ODI World Cup: Former India opener Virender Sehwag praised the Indian women’s team for their fearless performance after they stunned defending champions Australia to storm into the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup final with a record chase at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday.
Jemimah Rodrigues struck a majestic century and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur blasted a run-a-ball 89 as India aced a stiff chase to dethrone Australia with a five-wicket win, setting up a summit clash with South Africa. Chasing a mammoth 339, India reached 341 for 5 in 48.3 overs — scripting the highest successful chase ever in a Women’s World Cup knockout match.
Sehwag hailed the performance, saying India’s women “turned a semi-final into a dhamaka,” while Rishabh Pant called it “a match full of heart, fight and belief.” AB de Villiers described it as “an incredible chase to knock out the Aussies.”
