The stage is set for another era-transforming moment in women’s cricket as India and South Africa embrace the turf in Navi Mumbai for the marquee final of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 on Sunday, November 2. A first-time winner is about to be unveiled in women’s World Cup history, with Harmanpreet Kaur’s talented Indian brigade eyeing their maiden global crown against Laura Wolvaardt’s spirited Proteas side. After stuttering through the league stage and ending fourth on the points table, the Indian women’s team pulled off a remarkable turnaround and defeated the mighty Australians on the back of an iconic 127 not out by young prodigy Jemimah Rodrigues. For South Africa, the equally inspiring knock of 169 by skipper Wolvaardt helped them upstage another hot favorite, England, in their knock-out encounter in Guwahati. Playing in front of the home crowd, India would believe they hold the edge heading into the summit clash. But the Proteas can take a lot of heart out of their most recent victory against the Women in Blue, winning the league stage thriller in Visakhapatnam. While the two teams are undoubtedly skillful, it will come down to which side hides its weakness — South Africa got out under 100 twice in this tournament, while India have lacked balance all along — and holds its nerves longer on a pivotal night.
