Before the final match, heavy rain had created problems for everyone. On one hand, the spectators who came to watch the match drenched had to face problems. Also, due to rain, there was a delay in the toss and start of the match due to which the fans present in the stadium were seen waiting.

Before the match, the stadium staff covered the pitch with a cover so that the pitch does not get wet. Presently the toss took place after the rain stopped. After the toss, the match has finally started after the rain.

It has been raining since morning

Let us tell you that it has been raining continuously since morning in Navi Mumbai as well as in the surrounding areas of Mumbai-Thane. The rain had increased everyone’s tension since morning. Despite the rain, a large crowd of spectators was seen outside the stadium to watch the final match.

The final of the Women’s ODI World Cup was to start today between India and South Africa at 3 pm, but it did not start on time due to heavy rain in Navi Mumbai. The time was extended to 3:30, but it started raining again. Fans are disappointed, worried as to what will happen if the match does not take place? Will both of them be declared winners or something else, let us explain the ICC rules to you.

The title match between Indian women’s cricket team vs South Africa women’s cricket team is fixed at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. It was to start today (2nd November) at 3 pm, the toss was to take place at 2:30 pm but it rained here this morning too. It drizzled even before the match. The time of the match was extended, but it could not start even at 3:30.

What will happen if the World Cup final does not happen today?

First of all, let us tell you that a reserve day has been kept for the Women’s ODI World Cup, that is, if the match is not completed today then it will be played on the reserve day. Monday, November 3 is the reserve day of the World Cup. But the first effort will be to get the match done today.

An additional time of 2 hours is available for the final. The cut-off time for 20-20 overs matches is 9:08 pm. If it rains, or the field remains wet and the match does not start till the cut-off time, then it will be played on the reserve day.

Chance of rain in Navi Mumbai on Monday also

The big thing is that there is a possibility of rain in Navi Mumbai even on the Reserve Day. Even on this day, there is a possibility of rain in the city throughout the day. Then if the match is not held even on the reserve day, then how will the winning team be decided?

If the match is not held even on the reserve day, then who will get the trophy?

If the match does not take place even on the reserve day, both the teams will be jointly declared winners. That means the Indian women’s team and the South African women’s team will share the trophy.

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.
