South Africa Women (SA W) will take on India Women (IND W) in the final of the Women’s World Cup 2025 on Sunday, November 2, at the Dr. D. Y. Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.

South Africa Women booked their spot in the summit clash with a commanding 125-run victory over England Women in the semi-final. Skipper Laura Wolvaardt led from the front with a brilliant knock, while Marizanne Kapp’s five-wicket haul dismantled the English batting lineup. The Proteas will be aiming to lift the coveted trophy for the first time in their history.

Meanwhile, India Women sealed their place in the grand finale by defeating Australia Women in a thrilling semi-final encounter. Jemimah Rodrigues produced one of the most memorable performances of the tournament, guiding the Women in Blue to the final. The hosts will now look to script history by winning their maiden World Cup title in front of a passionate home crowd.

The pitch at the Dr. D. Y. Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai has largely favoured teams batting first. However, India Women broke the trend by successfully chasing down Australia Women’s target in the semi-final. Similarly, this final is also expected to offer good support for batters throughout both innings. Bowlers, on the other hand, will need to be precise with their lines and lengths, as any error could be punished severely.

Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Amanjot Kaur, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh (wk), Radha Yadav, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani, Renuka Singh Thakur

Laura Wolvaardt (c), Tazmin Brits, Sune Luus, Annerie Dercksen, Anneke Bosch, Marizanne Kapp, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Chloe Tryon, Nadine de Klerk, Ayabonga Khaka, Nonkululeko Mlaba

India Women’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur could be the key player in this high-stakes clash. She has amassed 240 runs in the tournament so far and played a composed knock against Australia Women in the semi-final. She is known for rising to the occasion in crucial matches, and will once again look to lead from the front and guide India to victory.

South Africa Women’s pacer Marizanne Kapp could prove to be the key bowler in this contest. She has claimed 12 wickets so far in the World Cup, including a stunning five-wicket haul against England Women in the semi-final. Her 10-over spell will be crucial in the final, as she has the ability to trouble batters with the new ball and strike again in the later stages of the innings.
