Rodrigues slammed seven boundaries and one maximum at a strike rate of 152.5. 

Her valiant knock almost came to an early end as Tahlia McGrath got the better of her in the 11th over. To throw some light, McGrath bowled a full length delivery on the off-stump, Rodgriues strided forward and picked up across the line. She hit it high in the air and the ball travelled straight to the fielder at the backward square. 

The opposition celebrated in excitement, until the umpire requested Jemimah to wait as the front foot was checked. Unfortunately, McGrath overstepped the line and it was a no ball and just like that the Indian stunner got a lifeline.
