Team India won the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup title by defeating South Africa on Sunday. India won the World Cup title for the first time by defeating South Africa by 52 runs in the final. Amanjot Kaur, who made an important contribution in making Team India the champion with her strong fielding, made a big statement after the victory regarding the coach of South African captain Laura Wolvaardt.

Let us tell you that Amanjot did excellent fielding in the final match. He gave the first blow to South Africa by running out opener Tajmin Britts. Brits had made a half-century opening partnership with captain Wolvaardt. After this, Amanjot took a brilliant catch of Wolvaardt in the 42nd over when she was standing between India and victory after completing her century.

South Africa needed 79 runs in the last eight overs and Wolvaardt, who scored 169 runs against England in the semi-finals, was preparing to play big shots after completing a century in the final also. He played Deepti Sharma’s ball towards deep midwicket and the ball slipped from Amanjot’s hand twice, but he completed the catch in the third attempt and energized the team players along with the spectators present in the stadium.

Amanjot said after the match, “That was the toughest catch of my life. Never before had the ball slipped from my hand like this. I would either take the catch or miss it. This is the first time that God has given me three chances. Wolvaardt’s catch was very important and after her century, we knew that she would try to play big shots from one end.”

Amanjot said that she wanted to compensate for the failure of bat and ball through fielding. She said, “I could not make a big contribution with the bat and was also not very effective in bowling, so my focus was on making up for that deficiency with better fielding. I knew that if the fielding was good, we could increase the problems for South Africa by saving some runs.”

Amanjot had earlier increased South Africa’s problems by running out the Brits. The Brits, who were trying to steal runs on his accurate throw, had to return to the pavilion. He said, “At the time of South Africa’s batting, the pitch had become a bit batting-friendly. We were talking about the fact that it is very important to break the partnership. We did not want to let any opportunity go by hand. After dew falls in floodlights, fielding becomes difficult.”

The Indian team has won the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup. Team India won the World Cup title for the first time. In the final, Harmanpreet Kaur’s team India defeated South Africa by 52 runs. Shefal Verma played the most important role in this victory of India. Shefali performed brilliantly with both bat and ball in the title match. But do you know that Shefali Verma was not a part of Team India in this World Cup. She was neither in the World Cup squad nor among the reserve players.

Yes, Shefali Verma, who performed brilliantly in the final, was not included in the first World Cup squad. The selectors dropped him from the team due to lack of consistency in his performance. Even in the list of reserve players, Shefali did not get a place.

Got a place in the team as a replacement for Pratika Raval

Shefali Verma’s luck brightened when Pratika Rawal got injured. Pratika Rawal got injured while fielding in the match against Bangladesh. His leg was twisted. For this reason, she was dropped from the knockout matches of the World Cup and Shefali Verma was included in the team as her replacement. In this way, Shefali Verma returned to the Indian ODI team after more than a year. Earlier in the semi-finals, Shefali was out after scoring only 10 runs, but in the finals she stole the show.

India alone won the World Cup title

In the final match, Shefali Verma played a stormy innings of 87 runs in just 78 balls with the bat. During this, 7 fours and 2 sixes came from his bat. After this he took two wickets in bowling. Shefali first dismissed Sune Luus and then sent Marijane Kapp to the pavilion. Due to this explosive performance of Shefali, she got the title of Player of the Match.

The final match of the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup is being played between India and South Africa in Navi Mumbai. After losing the toss and opting to bat first, Team India has put 298 runs on the board in 50 overs. For India, opener Shefali Verma played a brilliant inning of 87 runs in 78 balls. However, she missed scoring a century. His partner Smriti Mandhana scored 45 runs. Both also made a century partnership. In the end, Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh batted strongly and took the score close to 300. However, Team India could score only 36 runs in the last 5 overs. This was the reason why the Indian team could not cross 300.

At one time it seemed that the Indian team would easily reach 320, but the South African bowlers did not allow the Indian batsmen to hit big shots in the death overs. India’s score was 262 runs in 45 overs. Still, Team India could not touch the figure of 300. Still, this is the second highest score in the final in the history of Women’s ODI World Cup.

For India, Smriti Mandhana scored 45 runs in 58 balls with the help of 8 fours. Shefali Verma hit 7 fours and two sixes during her innings of 87 runs in 78 balls. Last match’s centurion Jemimah Rodriguez was out after scoring 24 runs in 37 balls. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s bat also did not work. He scored 20 runs in 29 balls with two fours.

Deepti Sharma was run out on the last ball after scoring 58 runs in 58 balls. Three fours and one six came from his bat. Richa Ghosh scored an important 34 runs. In his inning of 24 balls, he hit 3 fours and 2 sixes. Amanjot Kaur was out after scoring 12 runs.

For South Africa, Ayabonga Khaka took 3 wickets for 58 runs in 9 overs. Apart from this, Chloe Tryon, Nonkululeko Mlaba and Nadine de Klerk took one wicket each.

The World Cup final between India and South Africa is being played in Navi Mumbai. The Indian team came to bat first. Shefali Verma closed the game with a strong half-century of 87 runs. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar also reached the stadium to boost the morale of the Indian team. Many pictures are going viral on social media.

The final of the Women’s Cricket ODI World Cup 2025 will be held today between the Indian women’s cricket team and the South African women’s cricket team. This title clash will take place at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, where Harmanpreet Kaur and team defeated Australia in the semi-finals. Team India is playing the final for the third time, while South Africa is playing its first ODI World Cup final in history. One of the two teams will win their first title today and one of them will be disappointed. Here are 5 big things related to this World Cup.

How much money will the team that wins the Women’s World Cup get?

All the tickets for the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 final have been sold, this match will be held today (November 2) at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. This time the champion team will get much more money than the previous edition. ICC President Jay Shah had announced the prize money even before the start of the tournament. This is more than the men’s World Cup winning team.

The team that wins the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 will receive prize money of $4.48 million, which is approximately Rs 40 crore in Indian currency. Let us tell you that the Australian team that won the 2023 Men’s World Cup had received 4 million dollars. The team that loses today will get $2.24 million, i.e. around Rs 20 crore.

How much amount will BCCI give?

If Harmanpreet Kaur and team win their first World Cup by defeating South Africa today, then BCCI can also shower money on the team. According to reports, BCCI will give the same amount of reward to Team India for winning, as was given to the Indian team for winning the T20 World Cup.

Let us tell you that last year BCCI had announced a prize money of Rs 125 crore for Team India after winning the T20 World Cup. Now it is expected that BCCI will give the same amount of money to Harmanpreet Kaur and team and staff, if India becomes champion.

Smriti Mandhana can become top run scorer in World Cup 2025

In terms of scoring the most runs in this edition of the World Cup, Smriti Mandhana is at second place, South African captain Laura Wolvaardt is at the first place. Mandhana has scored 389 runs in 8 matches, which includes 1 century and 2 half-centuries. Wolvaert has scored 470 runs in 8 matches. Smriti Mandhana can come first in the list by playing a century innings today, although this will happen if Laura Wolvaardt is out on a low score.

Marijane Capp can achieve this position

South African fast bowler Marizanne Cap is close to taking 50 wickets in the Women’s World Cup. She took 5 wickets in the semi-finals, with which she became the bowler taking the highest wicket in World Cup history. She can become the first bowler in the world to take 50 wickets in the Women’s World Cup. They currently have 44 wickets, to do so they need to take 6 wickets today. The way his bowling was in the semi-finals, it is not impossible.

Such a final is taking place for the first time in history

This is the first time in the history of the Women’s ODI World Cup that neither Australia nor England are in the final. The Indian team had defeated Australia in the semi-finals and South Africa has reached the finals by defeating England.

India or South Africa, on November 2 one of these teams will be called the new world champion. Everyone’s eyes will be on famous players like Smriti Mandhana to Jemimah Rodrigues and Laura Woolworth. In ODI cricket, the women’s teams of India and South Africa have come face to face 33 times till date, out of which Team India has won 20 times. Paper records are in favor of India, but you will be shocked to see the statistics of mutual battles between the players. Talking about Rodrigues, South Africa’s Marizanne Kapp has dominated her.

How far ahead are the Indian batsmen in the mutual battle?

First of all, if we talk about Smriti Mandhana, in the ODI against Marijne Kapp, she has scored 72 runs playing 116 balls, but during this period, Kapp has also dismissed her 3 times. Mandhana’s record against Malaba is not very good. Malaba scored 67 runs in 81 balls, but was also out 3 times.

Captain Harmanpreet had scored 89 runs against Australia in the semi-finals. But against South Africa’s Cap, he lost his wicket four times after playing 80 balls. Jemimah Rodrigues’s record against Kapp is worst at best. Against them, Jemima could score only four runs in 14 balls and was out twice. She is coming after playing an unbeaten inning of 127 runs in the semi-finals.

Condition of Indian bowlers, against South Africa batting

Woolworth will be the biggest threat to the Indian team in the final. Deepti Sharma has taken 17 wickets in the current World Cup, but Woolworth has been dominating her. Deepti has scored 95 runs on 173 balls. Deepti has been able to get him out only 3 times. Whereas Deepti has dismissed Tajmin Brits once. Brits scored 27 runs on 38 balls of Deepti.

Marijne Kapp has been batting brilliantly against Deepti. He has scored 107 runs on 130 balls of Deepti. However, the Indian all-rounder has also dismissed Kapp three times. Shri Charani has taken 13 wickets in this World Cup, which has outweighed Sinalo Jafta. He has dismissed Jafta twice in 9 balls.

The final of the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup will be played between India and South Africa in Navi Mumbai on Sunday. The South African team has reached the final of the Women’s ODI World Cup for the first time, while Team India will play the title match for the third time. Both the teams have not won the World Cup title yet. The Indian women’s cricket team under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur is one win away from creating history in the ODI World Cup and in such a situation, there is tremendous excitement among the fans about this match, but they are facing disappointment due to not getting tickets.

After the performance of the Indian team in the semi-finals, a crowd of fans can be seen outside the DY Patil Stadium for tickets for the final. To attract spectators to the stadium, the ticket price started at just Rs 100, but till Saturday afternoon, tickets were not available for spectators in the stadium.

Pandian Parimal of Thane district told that he had come to the stadium in the morning but no one is getting tickets here. He said, “I have come here since 9 in the morning, but there is a lot of crowd here and no one is getting tickets. Tickets are not available even through online medium. A large number of people have come here.”

Another fan Shiftain Iftar said that he has been coming here for two days for tickets, but did not get any response here. We were told yesterday (Friday) that tickets will start being available from 12 noon today, but after reaching here in the morning, it is already afternoon, but no information is available about the tickets.

Female fans were also seen waiting outside the stadium to buy tickets. Fan Kishori Dholpuriya, who came from Mumbai, alleged black marketing of tickets and said, we are not being given any information here. We are standing here in the sun and rain, but despite trying for three days, we are unable to find any trace of the ticket.

Local fan Aanchal said that we were told a day ago that the gates for tickets would be opened from 12 noon today, but even after a lot of time has passed, nothing is known. He said that if the tickets are sold out then they should be told that tickets are not available.

When an attempt was made to talk to the stadium managers to know the status of ticket availability, no clear answer was received from them either. Lavanya, a Class 9 student, also made a similar complaint and said that she wants to see the team win the trophy, but is unable to get tickets.

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.
