India's Remarkable Comeback Secures World Cup Final Spot
Ellyse Perry lauds Indian cricketers Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues for their outstanding performance leading India to the Women's World Cup final. Despite two dropped catches, Perry emphasizes the pressure of high-stakes matches and Australia's admiration for India's resilience and skill during the challenging run chase.
In a high-tension semifinal encounter, Australia's Ellyse Perry could only commend the composure and skill of Indian cricketers Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues, as their impressive innings led India into the Women's World Cup final. India's chase, which broke records, earned admiration from even their opponents' dressing room.
The match saw India set up a title clash against South Africa, courtesy of Harmanpreet's 89 and Jemimah's unbeaten 127. Australia witnessed crucial dropped catches of Jemimah, but as Perry noted, the focus remained on the spirit and effort delivered by all players under pressure.
Reflecting on her own 77-run contribution alongside Phoebe Litchfield's 119 for Australia, Perry downplayed its relevance. The veteran all-rounder and head coach Shelley Nitschke both highlighted the strong cricket Australia has played, while acknowledging the potential transition period for Perry and captain Alyssa Healy, who hinted she may not be present for the next ODI World Cup.
