In a dramatic climax at the DIY Patil Stadium of Navi Mumbai to the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 semi-final, the Indian women cricketers upstaged the mighty Australians, secured the final berth with an incredible chase, and also set a new record in the process.

Manoj Bajpayee applauded the team’s “pure heart, grit and class” and also mentioned Jemimah Rodrigues by name.
Arjun is also in a celebratory mood and stated that “Not everyday you witness a chase like this. What a great moment for Women’s cricket. What emotion. What an epic. Salute our girls. You are champions already.”
Why This Victory Means More Than Just a Win
The victory in the semi-final is not just another. It is a turning point in Indian women’s cricket that garnered praise across the globe.
The reactions to Bollywood and other industries indicate that the Indian movie industry not only sports but also celebrates, and to a minor extent, impacts sports culture throughout its life cycle, thus making the main emotions of India- films and cricket very often.
All Heads Ahead on the Final
On November 2, 2025, India will compete against the South African women’s Cricket Team in the final at the same venue. The film industry’s support is getting bigger and bigger, which is a reminder that when women occupy the largest platforms, the whole nation sees, claps, and supports them.
