The final of the Women’s World Cup 2025 will be held between Indian women and South Africa women’s team at DY Patil Stadium. Team India, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, has created history in the semi-finals and reached the finals, the team won against Australia by chasing the target of 339 runs. This was the biggest run chase in women’s ODI history. By defeating 7-time world champion Australia, the Indian women’s team reached the ODI World Cup final for the third time, while the South African team will play the final for the first time. See how the pitch of DY Patil Stadium is expected to be in the title match. Probable playing 11 and match prediction of both the teams.
The way Jemimah Rodriguez led India to victory by playing an unbeaten inning of 127 runs in the semi-finals, a similar performance will be expected from her in the finals as well. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur did not bat in this tournament, but in the semi-final against Australia, she made the fans happy by playing a brilliant inning of 89 runs.
Will keep an eye on the opening pair
Shefali Verma has been included in the Indian squad after Pratika Raval’s injury, but she was out in the semi-finals after scoring only 10 runs. But if we want to win in the final, then it will be necessary for her and the other opener Smriti Mandhana to perform well, both of them are expected to make a good start.
in front of the bowlers challenge
South African captain Laura Wolvaardt opens the innings, so she will have to be prevented from lasting in the beginning. Otherwise she can become a problem, she played a historic inning of 169 runs in the semi-finals. Renuka Singh, Kranti Gaur will have to fall early wickets in the beginning.
Nallapureddy Charani has been doing her job well in restricting the runs, although Deepti Sharma proved to be a bit expensive in the semi-finals, her all-round performance in the tournament has been good. His experience will also be useful to India in the final.
