ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Final
South African skipper Laura Wolvaardt won the Toss and opted to bat first in the CWC final against India. Batting first, the Women in Blue got off to a great start, but after losing the opening pair in the middle, the other batsmen were unable to keep up with the momentum and failed to reach the target of 300 runs in 50 overs. India put 298 runs on board with the help of half-centuries from Shafali Verma and Deepti Sharma.
Chasing a mountainous total, the South African batting line-up failed to make big scores apart from their captain Wolvaardt, who scored back-to-back centuries in the knockout phase of the tournament. However, the South African captain’s effort proved futile as Indian Deepti Sharma’s quintet destroyed all hopes.
Eventually India won the match by 52 runs and clinched the first ICC ODI World Cup. Deepti Sharma also won the Player of the Tournament for her half-century and a five-over in the final, and Shefali Varma was declared the Player of the Match for her knock of 87 and two wickets.
