<p>In a pulsating 24th match of the ICC Women&#8217;s World Cup 2025 at DY Patil Stadium Navi Mumbai on October 23 India Women delivered a masterclass thrashing New Zealand Women by 53 runs via DLS method to storm into the semi-finals and slam the door on their opponents&#8217; hopes. With rain playing spoilsport reducing the game to 49 overs per side the hosts first posted their highest-ever World Cup total of 340 for 3 fueled by stunning centuries from opener Smriti Mandhana (109 off 95) and Pratika Rawal (122 off 134) alongside Jemimah Rodrigues&#8217; unbeaten 76 off 58 that propelled India past 300 for the first time in a WC innings. New Zealand under Sophie Devine&#8217;s captaincy won the toss and bowled but their attack crumbled conceding boundaries at will as Suzie Bates snared the lone wicket for 40 runs in a futile effort. Further showers adjusted the target to 325 in 44 overs yet Brooke Halliday&#8217;s gritty 84 off 81 couldn&#8217;t rally the White Ferns who folded at 271 for 8 with Renuka Singh (2 early strikes) and spinners Deepti Sharma and Kranti Gaud stifling the chase through a wicket-maiden powerplay and relentless pressure. Mandhana&#8217;s third WC ton her 14th in ODIs earned her Player of the Match honors while Rawal&#8217;s breakout knock marked her as the joint-fastest to 1000 WC runs in 23 innings etching multiple records including the highest Indian WC partnership of 231 for the second wicket.</p>

<p>This victory catapults India to fourth on the points table with three wins from five games six points and a boosted NRR of +0.456 overtaking New Zealand who slump to fifth with two wins four points and elimination alongside Sri Lanka despite matching points as India&#8217;s superior win tally seals the deal. The top four now locked: Australia (10 points unbeaten) South Africa (10 points) England (8 points) and India setting up a blockbuster semi against the hosts on October 30 back at DY Patil where 23180 fans shattered attendance records underscoring women&#8217;s cricket&#8217;s surging appeal. Tactically India&#8217;s resurgence from three straight losses stemmed from bold selections like Rawal&#8217;s inclusion and a balanced attack that exploited NZ&#8217;s rain-hit campaign two prior washouts that dented their momentum while Harmanpreet Kaur&#8217;s composed 45 off 42 anchored the middle order. Devine lamented the target as too steep post-match crediting India&#8217;s firepower but NZ&#8217;s fielding lapses 15 extras and inability to build partnerships proved costly in a chase demanding 7.38 an over. Deeper analysis reveals India&#8217;s batting depth now rivals the best with Mandhana-Rawal&#8217;s 2025 ODI partnership tally of 1557 runs second only to Tendulkar-Ganguly&#8217;s iconic duo signaling a golden era for Indian women&#8217;s cricket amid global viewership spikes of 25% this tournament.
