South Africa Women, on the other hand, advanced to the final with a dominant performance against England Women. Laura Wolvaardt’s stunning 169 anchored their innings, while Marizanne Kapp’s fiery spell of 5 for 20 dismantled the English batting line-up, leading to a massive 125-run victory.

This year’s final will witness a new champion being crowned, as neither India nor South Africa have ever won the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup before. Interestingly, the two sides have already met once in this tournament’s round-robin game, where the Proteas emerged victorious by three wickets. Nadine de Klerk played a crucial role in that win, helping her side outsmart the hosts in a closely contested match.

Overall, India Women and South Africa Women have faced each other 34 times in One-Day Internationals. The Indians hold the upper hand with 20 wins, while South Africa have claimed victory in 13 encounters. One match ended with no result. With history and pride on the line, both teams will be eager to deliver their best performance and lift the prestigious trophy for the very first time.
