Indian women’s team’s cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues is currently being celebrated after a match-winning knock in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2022 match against arch-rivals Pakistan. The 22-year-old batter scored an excellent half-century and led the Indian team to a brilliant victory in Cape Town.

India Women got the target of 150 runs against Pakistan, and it was a relatively bigger target. In the history of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, a target above 150 was chased just once, and the Indian team was without Smriti Mandhana as well. Rodrigues played an excellent knock of 53 runs in just 38 balls to win the Player of the Match award.
Rodrigues is now an important part of the Indian white-ball setup, and she is growing her stature. She was dropped from the last year’s Women’s World Cup squad and is certainly focussed on doing well in this T20 World Cup. In the absence of Mandhana, she has even more responsibilities on her shoulders.
