In a truly historic moment for Indian cricket, the Women in Blue, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, clinched their maiden ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup title on Sunday, November 2, 2025, defeating South Africa by 52 runs in a thrilling final in Navi Mumbai.

India creates cricket history with maiden Women’s World Cup title

Playing in front of a packed home crowd at the DY Patil Stadium, India set a challenging total of 298/7, anchored by a phenomenal knock of 87 runs from opener Shafali Verma and a crucial half-century (58) from the Player of the Tournament, Deepti Sharma.

While South Africa’s captain Laura Wolvaardt fought valiantly with a splendid century (101), India’s bowling attack proved too strong. The victory was sealed by an inspired spell of spin bowling from Deepti, who claimed a decisive five-wicket haul (5/39), the first-ever five-for in a Women’s World Cup final. This triumph not only ended India’s long wait for a World Cup trophy after finishing as runners-up in 2005 and 2017 but also marked a watershed moment for women’s cricket in the country.
