Highest-ever run chase

In IND vs AUS Women's World Cup semifinal, India achieved the highest-ever run chase in women’s ODI World Cup knockout matches.

This is also the first time in World Cup knockout history, across both men’s and women’s cricket, that a team has successfully chased a target exceeding 300 runs. Previously, New Zealand’s 298-run chase against South Africa in 2015 held the record. India’s women have now rewritten the record books.
