India and South Africa will play in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 final at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday. Both teams will be vying for their first title. It will also be the first Women’s Cricket World Cup final that will not feature Australia or England.
Sunday’s title clash will be India’s third time in the Women’s World Cup final. India lost to Australia by 98 runs in the 2005 final and suffered a dramatic late collapse in 2017 against England to lose by nine runs.
South Africa, meanwhile, will feature in their first-ever Women’s ODI World Cup final. Laura Wolvaardt’s commanding 169 powered them to 319/7 against England in their semi-final before Marizanne Kapp’s career-best 5/20 sealed a 125-run win.
