India Women vs South Africa Women Final: The year was 2005, when India reached the Women’s World Cup final for the first time under the leadership of Mithali Raj. But Australia smashed Centurion by 98 runs. 2017 final at Lord’s under Mithali again, but England’s defeat by just 9 runs and now the date 2025 is November 2, will DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai witness history? Looking forward to this. India is facing South Africa. For the first time neither Australia nor England has reached the final! This is Africa’s first World Cup final and a golden opportunity for India as well.
A chance to repeat bravery
For skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, today is no less than a “do or die” day. Her 51 at Lord’s in 2017 and that defeat is still etched in the mind. But today she has got a chance to repeat the feat of Kapil Dev (1983) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (2011). If India wins the title today, Harmanpreet will also engrave his name in this golden club. This ODI World Cup might be the last for the 36-year-old Harman. She may not be on the field next cycle, but if she wins today, she will forever be in the pages of history.
