After India won their maiden Women’s ODI World Cup trophy, batter Jemimah Rodrigues said the 52-run win in the final over South Africa was made on the back of a shared promise by the hosts to give their everything on the field in their defence of 298-7.
“We were fully aware that South Africa posed a significant threat and were entirely capable of chasing down a target of 299 runs, particularly given their history of achieving such formidable totals in high-pressure situations. So, we made a collective pledge to pour our entire hearts and souls into those 50 overs, vowing to leave every last ounce of our effort on the ground in pursuit of victory,” said Rodrigues on JioStar.
