At Navi Mumbai's Dr DY Patil Stadium, Harmapreet Kaur's Team India made history on Sunday by defeating South Africa in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 final to win their first ICC championship. South Africa was in their first World Cup final, and India was in their third.
India, under the leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur, outperformed South Africa under Laura Wolvaardt with a dominant all-around performance. The first time the competition has seen a new winner in 25 years, the hosts bowled the Proteas out for 246 after they had amassed 298 in 50 overs after being put in to bat.
The team maintained competitive standards in batting, bowling, and fielding while defeating elite foreign teams with steady performances throughout the tournament. India defeated South Africa in the final to win the title and set a new record for the most successful chase in Women's ODI cricket (339 against Australia in the semifinal).
This victory is a significant turning point in the development of women's cricket in India and puts the country among the winners of the Women's ODI World Cup.
The Women’s ODI Cricket World Cup is the oldest international competition in the sport, having been played in 1973, two years before the first men’s World Cup. Seven teams competed in the 1973 Women's Cricket World Cup, with teams vying for 60 overs and a league table rather than a knockout tournament to determine the winners.
Enid Bakewell batted 118 for England to defeat Australia by 92 runs and win the inaugural ICC Women's Cricket World Cup title by three points in the decisive round-robin match.
There have been 13 ICC Women's World Cups to far, and only three countries have won the trophy before India. New Zealand and India have each raised the trophy once thus far, while Australia has won seven times and England four. In 2005 and 2017, India lost to Australia and England, respectively, and finished as runners-up in the Women's ODI World Cup.
