There are moments in sports that transcend boundaries, that echo with pride and perseverance. November 2, 2025, will forever be etched in golden letters in Indian cricket history — the day when the India Women’s Cricket Team conquered the world and claimed their first-ever ICC Women’s World Cup title.
At the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, the women in blue delivered a performance that blended power, patience, and pure passion. The entire nation stood still as India defeated South Africa by 52 runs, sealing their place among cricket’s immortals.
🏏 The Final That Defined a Generation
Batting first, India posted an imposing 298/7 in 50 overs — a total built on courage and class.
- Shafali Verma ignited the innings with a blistering 87 off 78 balls, showcasing fearless stroke play.
- Deepti Sharma anchored the middle order with 58 runs, before turning the game with the ball.
In South Africa’s reply, Laura Wolvaardt’s valiant century (101) threatened to spoil the script, but Deepti Sharma’s spell of 5 wickets for 39 runs sealed the fate of the match.
South Africa were bowled out for 246 in 45.3 overs, sparking wild celebrations across the stadium and the nation. The final wicket — Wolvaardt caught by captain Harmanpreet Kaur off Deepti’s bowling — unleashed tears, cheers, and goosebumps all at once.
