Former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop believes India must draw inspiration from their iconic 1983 Men’s ODI World Cup triumph to overcome Australia’s aura of invincibility in their high-stakes 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup semi-final at the DY Patil Stadium on Thursday. Australia, the only unbeaten team in the competition, are aiming to win an unprecedented eighth ODI World Cup title, while India aim to stop their juggernaut and enter the title clash on November 2 on home soil.
“I want to take everyone here back to when we talk about an aura of invincibility, right? I don’t often talk about this because I was a young kid and I was sick for days after this match. Remember, was it that 1983 World Cup men’s edition when India beat the West Indies at Lord’s? West Indies came in as overwhelming favourites and they were overturned by India that ushered in a whole new generation and a way of viewing and playing the game. That is a spirit that all teams and much more so India, have to draw upon in the semi-final,” Bishop told IANS in on the eve of the India-Australia semi-final.
