NEW DELHI: Australian media launched a scathing attack on the women's team after their shock exit from the ICC Women's World Cup. Jemimah Rodrigues blasted an unbeaten 127 to help India pull off the highest successful chase in women's ODI history, overhauling a target of 339 with nine balls to spare.

Jemimah's knock, her third century and first in a World Cup, was built along with a robust 167-run stand for the third wicket with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (89 off 88 balls, 10x4s, 2x6s).

Australia were uncharacteristically sloppy in the field, with skipper Alyssa Healy dropping Jemimah on 82, and Tahlia McGrath putting her down again on 106.

Fox Cricket slammed Australia for their poor effort on the field while lauding Rodrigues's heroics as 'innings of a lifetime'.

"Australia knocked out of World Cup after 'massive' drop, 'innings of a lifetime' in record run chase," it said. Fox Cricket also posted on X. "'INNINGS of a LIFETIME'. Good morning Australia. Unfortunately, overnight our #WomensWorldCup2025 defence came to an end after a stunning run chase from India. And a 'massive' moment in the game proved costly."
