In the 2nd semi-final of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai (October 30, 2025), Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry etched her name further into history by surpassing 4,500 WODI runs during a crucial 77-run knock (88 balls, 6×4, 2×6) against India. This was her 37th WODI half-century (off 66 balls) and 7th in World Cups.
Match Context and Perry’s Contribution
Australia batted first, posting 338 all out – the highest total in a Women’s ODI World Cup semi-final, 2nd-highest in any WC knockout (behind Aus’ 356/5 vs Eng, 2022 final), and highest 1st-innings score vs India in a WC. They also hit a WC knockout record of 9 sixes.
Perry’s 155-run stand with Phoebe Litchfield (119 off 93) rescued Australia from 65/3, stabilizing and accelerating the innings. Ashleigh Gardner (63) added late fireworks.
Perry needed just 77 runs pre-match to hit the milestone – she delivered exactly that before falling to Radha Yadav in the 40th over
Personal Legacy Boost: Perry became the 4th Australian to cross 4,500 WODI runs, joining an elite club. Updated Stats: 4,504 runs @ 48.43 avg (165 inns, 3×100, 37×50). In WCs: 848 runs @ 49.88 (32 inns)
Team Momentum: Her knock fueled Australia’s record-breaking total, pressuring India early (India at ~100/2 initially). Showcased Perry’s match-winning nous in knockouts (now 9x 50+ vs India, 2nd-most ever).
Broader Cricket Narrative: At 34 (turns 35 next week), Perry’s longevity (debut 2008) shines – she’s the ultimate all-rounder (1,400+ WODI wickets too).
Bittersweet for Perry/Australia: Personal glory amid WC exit – first SF loss since 2017. Ends Australia’s 3-peat defense; exposes vulnerabilities despite depth (Litchfield’s emergence).
India’s Triumph: Biggest WC scalp, boosts morale for final (vs ?). Record chase elevates Rodrigues/Harmanpreet as heroes.
Series/Points Table: Irrelevant (knockout), but underscores India’s growth vs Australia’s dominance.
Perry = GOAT Affirmation: This milestone cements her as women’s cricket’s finest all-rounder – consistent under pressure, versatile across formats. Her WC pedigree (multiple titles) endures despite the loss.
Australian Transition: Loss signals youth integration (Litchfield 22yo ton); Perry mentors the next gen.
World Cup Legacy: Epic SF – highest combined total ever (~679 runs). India’s final charge could redefine Asian women’s cricket.
Future Outlook: Perry eyes 5,000 runs, more WC glory (2029?). Her form (recent 50s vs India) promises more fireworks.
Perry’s knock: Classy, clutch, historic – even in defeat. 🏏🇦🇺30 posts de 𝕏36 páginas web
