Australia's campaign in the Women's World Cup ended in surprise defeat as captain Alyssa Healy lamented some loose bowling leading to a stunning semi-final loss to India. Jemimah Rodrigues's unbeaten 127 runs powered India to a record chase of 339 for a five-wicket victory.

Healy acknowledged her team's performance, stating they failed to capitalize on created opportunities, which felt 'un-Australian'. Despite the loss, she remained confident about her team's future, appreciating the quality cricket they played during the tournament.

Australia, which previously dominated, exits the tournament without a global trophy for the first time in years. Healy welcomed a potential new champion, viewing it positively for the sport, as India faces South Africa in the final.
