India face Australia in the Women\u2019s World Cup semifinal \u2014 a clash steeped in history, emotion, and high stakes. Harmanpreet Kaur\u2019s team, bruised by injuries and inconsistency, seek redemption and inspiration from her iconic 171* at Derby in 2017.

But belief, not pedigree, could script India\u2019s miracle once more.<\/p>\n
