India's Women's Cricket Team has secured a spot in the World Cup semifinals, marking a significant milestone in their home tournament. The team's opening pair, Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal, formed a formidable partnership, scoring a double-century, which was a remarkable feat in the history of Women's World Cups. This achievement comes after three successive defeats, and the team is now set to face the champions, Australia, in the last-four rematch. The match, held at DY Patil Stadium, saw India rack up an impressive 340 runs in 49 overs before rain interruptions reduced the game to 44 overs. India's medium pacers, Kranti Gaud and Renuka Singh, played a crucial role in restricting New Zealand's chase, leading to their victory. This win not only secures India's place in the semifinals but also puts them in a strong position to top the group and potentially face the hosts in the knockout clash. The team's performance has been a testament to their resilience and skill, and with the tournament moving towards its climax, all eyes are on India as they aim to make history on home soil.
