India Women are set to face South Africa Women in the grand finale of the Women's World Cup this Sunday, November 2, at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, the hosts stand just one win away from clinching their maiden 50-over World Cup title — with anticipation building across the globe.

However, the weather remains a lingering concern. Forecasts for Navi Mumbai suggest light showers in the morning, likely brief, but rain could return in the evening and potentially disrupt the match.

India Women
Squad: Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh(w), Amanjot Kaur, Radha Yadav, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani, Renuka Singh Thakur, Sneh Rana, Harleen Deol, Arundhati Reddy, Uma Chetry

Good luck bro... India women are in better position to win this one
 
Battle of nerves. Ofcourse toss will play a role. Given the bad luck India is losing tosses for fun. India has lost 18 tosses in a row on the men's side. Harmanpreet lost the tosses as well
 
Its intermittently raining in Mumbai and surroundings, match will going to be delayed due to wait outfield.. if match starts then it will have many rain breaks

Today rainy and windy atmosphere
 
Outside of India, South Africa would've been clear favorites.

Since WC is in India, India have the home advantage. Also, they have the momentum after beating Australia.

Anyway, I hope South Africa will win. :inti

I'm sure Pakistan will win upcoming tri series against SRL & ZIM on their home turf
 
It's happened only 1 time in History that Host wins the world cup in History... i.e. Men's Team India won World Cup in 2011.

Can Women's Team India will repeat this for 2nd time?
 
Harmanpreet a clutch player who always plays exceptionally in knockouts need to fire today too. Hope she is well supported by Smriti, Jemi, Richa & others. Don't have any hopes from Shafali who will hit 2 boundaries & get out as always. Best luck to women in blue!!

Today Shefali Verma needs to fire
 
There is a reserve day for the Final, If the match doesn't happen even on the reserve day, then the trophy will be shared :kp
 
Cousin in stadium says rain stopped and sun out. they are trying to dry the outfield. Hoping for a delayed start in about half an hour with reduced overs. But forecast is is for more rain during the evening and night....
 
South Africa wins the toss and they put India to bat.... good toss to loose

Now Entire Focus on this game as men's game completed.

India 17-0 (3.1 overs)

:kp
I am going to tune in for the first time to watch women play in cricket. I will try to stay away for 30 mins. If not I am done and will finish watching power series.
 
Smriti is left handed Babar Azam ..Poor against spinners ..similar strike rate ..can play pace well
 
Pitch seems great for batting. South Africa have good batters.

I think South Africa can chase down 300 here. Just have to keep India to 300. :inti
 
India lost a wicket.

Shafali's story is quiet remarkable. Not a single 50 in the last 3 years. Dropped eventually. Consistent opener injured. Recalled for semi final. She has delivered.
 
Shefali playing the knock of her life. So much talent yet has been a massive underachiever in her career. If she scores a century tonight and wins it for India she will never be forgotten in Indian cricket.
 
Shefali Verma is out on 87.

India 166/2 after 27.5 overs

Match is hanging in balance
 
South Africa fielding is absolutely top notch Today barring one catch.
IMO above 260 us difficult to chase for SA, also this is a Final match, there will be huge pressure on SA batters. SA have choking history and their players aware of it
No this is chasing ground where anything around 330 can be chase with lightning outfield amd dew which os coming now. :kp
