Women's World Cup: Saikia Hails Historic Semis Win As Jemimah, Harmanpreet Guide India Into Final
BCCI President Sourav Ganguly: BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia was effusive in praise after India’s stirring five-wicket win over Australia in the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup semifinal, calling it a defining moment for women’s cricket in the country.
“Wonderful win! Did you see the match? What a game! This victory was so important for India — it’s going to take our women’s cricket to the next level. Wishing them all the best for the final!” Saikia told IANS after the match, moments after India chased down a mammoth 339 to dethrone the defending champions and book a place in Sunday’s final against South Africa.
Jemimah Rodrigues produced the innings of her life, a majestic unbeaten 127 off 134 balls with 14 fours — her maiden World Cup hundred and arguably the most significant knock of her career — as India reached 341 for 5 in 48.3 overs.
