Beth Mooney Responds to Jemimah Rodrigues' Comment After Women's World Cup Semi-Final
After India defeated Australia in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 semi-final, Indian batter Jemimah Rodrigues joked about her uncertainty of being allowed to enter Australia for the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) following the win.
“I was not sure if Australia would allow me to cross the border after the semi-finals,” Rodrigues said after her unbeaten 127 helped India reach the final.
Australian cricketer Beth Mooney humorously replied during a WBBL match between the Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers. She remarked that she initially feared Australia might not let the Australian team back into the country due to their loss.
“We heard Jemi say earlier that she was worried they weren’t going to let her in the country because they beat us, but I actually thought they weren’t going to let us back in for losing. Thankfully, immigration let me in,” Mooney said, according to The Indian Express.
