India had only managed to reach the semi-final in 2009 and 2010. This year India have won all four of their league matches and reached the semi-finals as the table topper beating Australia and New Zealand in the process. Smriti Mandhana's quickfire 83 and bowlers' handed over the victory to India over Australia in their last group match.
As India reached the semi-final; Twitter burst in praise and share their best wishes:
