Anjum, Mithali Laud India’s ‘statement’ Win Against NZ For Semis Berth
New Delhi: India stormed into the semi-finals of the Women’s World Cup with a commanding victory over New Zealand, marking a strong comeback after an inconsistent run in the tournament. The emphatic win, set up by centuries from Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal, and a vital contribution from Jemimah Rodrigues, showcased India’s depth and resilience under pressure.
Former India captain Mithali Raj praised India’s all-round effort and the composure shown in a high-stakes contest.
“Smriti was relieved, and so are all of us that India have qualified for the semi-finals. But yes, it required a lot from this Indian team. Starting with the batting innings - the openers set a solid foundation, backed by Jemimah Rodrigues, coming in at number three after missing the last game. She proved why she still adds immense value to this batting line-up. Once that momentum was established, it carried into the bowling innings as well. Overall, I think India really dug deep, knowing the significance of this big game, and everyone stepped up,” Mithali said on JioStar’s ‘Cricket Live’.
