ICC ODI Women's World Cup 2025 awards list: Who won what?

India’s home World Cup ended in a landmark night for women’s cricket as India beat South Africa in the final to lift their first-ever ICC Women’s ODI World Cup, and a wave of individual honours followed. The tournament produced big innings, standout all-round performances and a record prize pool that underlined the ICC’s push for pay parity.

The ICC set a tournament-wide prize purse of USD 13.88 million, with the champions receiving USD 4.48 million and the runners-up USD 2.24 million, which is a material rise from 2022 and the largest prize pool in the event’s history. The move was billed as a landmark step for women’s cricket ahead of the tournament.

Key awards and who won what?

Player of the Tournament — Deepti Sharma (India)

Deepti won the overall prize for an almost uncatchable all-round tournament. She finished as the tournament’s top wicket-taker while also contributing valuable runs down the order. Her final five-wicket haul, combined with a useful knock, underlined why the selectors and the trophy committee chose her.

Player of the Final — Shafali Verma (India)

Shafali’s electric 87 in the final and surprising two crucial wickets with the balls made her the standout performer on the biggest day. That innings set up India’s imposing total, and her late bowling strikes helped close out the victory, earning her the match award.

Leading run-scorer — Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa) — 571 runs

Wolvaardt finished the tournament as the top run-getter, compiling 571 runs across nine matches. Her consistency at the top kept South Africa’s chase threats alive throughout the event, and she leaves the tournament with a record-setting edition total.

Leading wicket-taker — Deepti Sharma (India) — 22 wickets

Deepti also topped the bowling charts with 22 wickets, a rare and decisive double. She finished the World Cup as both India’s heartbeat with the ball and a reliable lower-order batter. Her 22 wickets were the single biggest bowling return of the event.

The 2025 Women’s World Cup left a clear legacy, as bigger financial recognition for players and a set of individual performances in Deepti’s all-round dominance and Wolvaardt’s run haul among them, will define careers and conversations for years.
