Jemimah Rodrigues' hundred kept India alive in the chase, India vs Australia, Women's World Cup semi-final, Navi Mumbai, October 30, 2025

339 The target chased by India against Australia in the semi-final. It is the highest-ever chase in women's ODI cricket, bettering the 331-run chase by Australia against India earlier in the tournament in Visakhapatnam.

India's previous highest successful chase was 265 against Australia in 2021, and they had never chased a 200-plus target at a World Cup.

15 Consecutive wins for Australia at the Women's ODI World Cup, coming into Thursday's semi-final. Their previous defeat was also against India, in the semi-final in 2017.

It is the joint-longest winning streak for any team in the Women's ODI World Cup, equaling Australia's earlier streak of 15 wins between 1993 and 2000.

341 for 5 India's total in the chase is their highest at the Women's ODI World Cup, a run more than the 340 for 3 they posted against New Zealand in Navi Mumbai last week.

It is also the second-highest total by any team against Australia in women's ODIs, behind their 369 in Delhi last month. In fact, that is the only total in a women's ODI chase higher than India's 341 on Thursday.

679 Runs by India and Australia on Thursday in Navi Mumbai, making it the highest aggregate for a Women's ODI World Cup game. The previous most were 678 runs between England and South Africa at Bristol in 2017.

The 679 runs are also the second-most for any women's ODI, behind the 781 runs in last month's Delhi ODI, also featuring India and Australia.

3 Number of successful chases of 300-plus targets in a knock-out match across men's and women's ODIs. The previous two were by India in men's ODIs, who chased 315 against Pakistan in the third final of the Silver Jubilee Independence Cup in 1998 and 326 against England in the 2002 NatWest tri-series final.

127* Jemimah Rodrigues' score against Australia is the highest for India in an ODI chase, bettering the 125 by Smriti Mandhana, also against Australia last month in Delhi.

167 Partnership between Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur for the third wicket - the highest by any pair against Australia at the Women's ODI World Cup.

It is also the third-highest partnership against Australia in all women's ODIs and the highest for the third wicket.

3 Fifty-plus scores for Harmanpreet in the three knockout matches she has played in the Women's ODI World Cup. Only Belinda Clark, with four, has more fifty-plus scores in World Cup knockouts than Harmanpreet.

Harmanpreet aggregated 311 runs across those three games, the second-most in Women's ODI World Cup knockouts, behind Clark's 330 runs.

77 Balls Phoebe Litchfield needed for her century against India, the fastest in any knockout game in women's ODIs. The previous quickest was off 90 balls, by Harmanpreet against Australia in the 2017 World Cup semi-final and by Nat Sciver-Brunt against Australia in the 2022 Women's ODI World Cup final.

Litchfield is also the youngest batter to score a hundred in a knockout match in women's ODIs.

23.3 Overs bowled by Australia's spinners in the semi-final. They also conceded 157 runs without taking a wicket. These are the most overs the spinners have ever bowled in a women's ODI while being wicketless. The previous highest by Australian spinners was the 23 overs against New Zealand in 2012 at SCG.

0 The 2025 edition will be the first Women's ODI World Cup final to not feature either Australia or England. At least one of the two teams have featured in all the previous editions of the World Cup which have had a final.
