Man I really tried to watch today. Women’s cricket

Hell Nha never again.

Rather watch paint dry.

Hope we win. Good luck girls

 

[Devadwal]

Shocking LBW decision that .it was pitching outside the leg frim naked eyes. @Ryw beautiful unbiased umpiring .lol

 

[globetrotter]

Bad umpiring today always against India, negro umpire must have some link with south africa

 

[Josh]

IND - 203/3 (36 overs).

211/3 (37 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 216/3 (37.2 overs).

India should reach 300 from here. South Africa have to bat very well to chase this down.

Big wicket Harman gone

 

[sweep_shot]

Another wicket.

IND - 223/4 (39 overs).

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

333 final score

 

[harshjoshi87]

Deepti & Amanjot need to hang until 44th & then time to unleash Richa.

 

[harshjoshi87]

South African women have matched the men's team in fielding. Almost 15-20 runs saved.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Wickets falling at regular intervals.

Amanjot falls. Pitch seems to have slowed down.

 

[Devadwal]

India Won’t Win With A Score Of Around 300-310

 

[Champ_Pal]

India needs at least 315 on this pitch to have a chance.

Only Richa Ghosh can take Indian score to 300+.

 

[Champ_Pal]

South African women have matched the men's team in fielding. Almost 15-20 runs saved.

All of them look like athletes. No chubby ones. Something our subcontinent women should emulate.

Aus and SA are the best when it comes to fitness and athleticism.

 

[Josh]

India will score around 280-290 ..good score for a final

 

[globetrotter]

India needs 300+

 

[globetrotter]

286/5 India ... 12 balls to go ...score at least 20

 

[globetrotter]

Khaka is lady Rabada

 

[globetrotter]

India 298-6 ... its the 2nd highest final score of Women's World Cup

 

[Josh]

Just shy of 300. 2nd highest Final Target ever. It can be chased but it will take some effort

 

[Devadwal]

30 short , South Africa does have good chance to chase this total. This is Below par total here.

 

[Champ_Pal]

India are about 20 runs short. Can come to bite them in the back.

India needs one more finisher along with Richa Ghosh.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Amanjot Kaur is such a mediocre all-rounder. Hopefully, she will do well with the ball today.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This is a good score for a final.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Second-highest total in a Women's World Cup final. Will that be enough?

 

[globetrotter]

South Africa fielding is absolutely top notch Today barring one catch.

No this is chasing ground where anything around 330 can be chase with lightning outfield amd dew which os coming now.

One catc, they dropped many..... IMO no due today as today morning to afternoon heavy rain

 

[Devadwal]

One catc, they dropped many..... IMO no due today as today morning to afternoon heavy rain

Ground fielding was top notch, Saved lots of runs .

No dew is already there at this point.

 

[Ball Blazer]

All to Indian bowlers now.

 

[Devadwal]

Need to field well .let's goo team india.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

India lost the review.

 

[sweep_shot]

333 final score

What?

India scored 298. Not 333.

 

[Devadwal]

Good start for South Africa 22/0(5.1)

 

[sweep_shot]

So far so good for South Africa.

They need to take it deep.

 

[PakFan2010]

Haha

India are going to choke 2 World Cup finals in a row.

 

[sweep_shot]

Neither India nor South Africa have ever won an ICC trophy in women's cricket.

Today is a golden opportunity.

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa - 44/0 (8 overs; target: 299).

255 to win from 42 overs.

 

[Devadwal]

Amanjot Kaur is useless allrounder. Can't bat , can't bowl and can't field

 

[sweep_shot]

LOL. Funny running from the batter.

Why didn't she dive?

Anyway, run-out. South Africa lose their first wicket.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Congratulations in advance to India for winning a World Cup.

This is an incredible achievement. To do it at home is very very special. These final moments of the tournament should be cherished fully.

What the men's team could not do. The women team is on track to do it. A very proud moment for the whole of Indian nation.

Well done ladies

 

[RexRex]

Laura Wolvaardt will win this for South Africa.

 

[Devadwal]

Brits Gone but gave South Africa Good start. 52/1(10)

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa - 52/1 (10 overs; target: 299).

247 to win from 40 overs.

Game is not done yet.

South Africa can chase this down. Pitch is flat.

It is 50-50 at this point.

Hold on !! This is chasebale target here .

 

[Devadwal]

what a shot for six by Wolvaardt

She is in great form

 

[globetrotter]

India needs quick wickets...

I know you’re being sarcastic and comparing them with the men’s team. But reaching the final itself is a great achievement for this women’s team, they’ve already punched above their weight. I don’t mind even if they lose.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

SA top order is useless apart from Wolvaardt.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Laura Wolvaardt will win this for South Africa.

she is good

 

[sweep_shot]

Another wicket.

Plumb LBW.

 

[globetrotter]

2nd wkt.... sree good bowling

 

[Devadwal]

Bosch gone. 62/2. Still Wolvaardt there , as long she is batting South Africa can chase this total

 

[globetrotter]

India needs Walvardt's wkt asap

 

[globetrotter]

Is choking started? If it starts they will fall like pack of cards

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa - 62/2 (12 overs; target: 299).

237 to win from 228 balls.

South Africa need to take it deep.

 

[Devadwal]

Four more by Wolvaardt .she is batting beautifully.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Two big wickets for India have put India back on top.

Need to keep taking them.

 

[Devadwal]

Good thing is not much sign of dew due to earlier rain.

 

[Ab Fan]

I hope Laura scores a ton but India wins the match.

 

[Devadwal]

I hope Laura scores a ton but India wins the match.

If she scored a ton means we are likely to lose

 

[Bhaijaan]

Time for South Africa women to take inspiration from Pakistan’s tried and tested approach in chasing. Hold both ends tight, Tuk Tuk your way to 40 overs keeping wickets in hand, take the game deep and have something like 95 to win from 60 deliveries with 6 wickets in hand. Trust me it works.

 

[Devadwal]

Most runs in a single World Cup edition

511- Laura Wolvaardt in 2025
509 - Alyssa Healy in 2022
497 - Rachael Haynes in 2022
456 - Debbie Hockley in 1997
448 - Lindsay Reeler in 1988

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Sree Charani is such a good left-arm spinner, very accurate and turns the ball well.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Ind lost 1st wkt after 100. It's going to be hard for SA from this point.

 

[Devadwal]

Charani is bowling beautifully. Only her line is a bit of a concern, but length wise she's perfect.

At other end Kaur is bowling absolutely rubbish

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Amanjot keeps leaking runs.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Ind lost 1st wkt after 100. It's going to be hard for SA from this point.

India is top heavy while SA is middle/bottom heavy, still 55-45.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Laura Wolvaardt has had an incredible tournament. This is where it all culminates..

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Regardless of the result I hope we get a tight finish. India are ahead but they themselves showed in the last match that 300 is very much chaseable on this wicket, and South Africa have good batting depth. Nadine de Klerk is slotted at 9.

 

[Red-Indian]

Laura Wolvaardt will win this for South Africa.

She's so insanely critical. 50+ average....strike rate's a bit iffy but she seems to be making that irrelevant today.

 

[globetrotter]

If india not pick up wickets at regular intervals then this match will go at south Africa's way, it will have similar end like 2024 T20 final

 

[Cover Drive Six]

I hope Laura scores a ton but India wins the match.

Looks like she’s winning this for South Africa, playing brilliantly.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA Women need 204 runs from 33 overs.

Interesting game in progress.

 

[sweep_shot]

SA - 95/2 (17 overs; target: 299).

204 to win from 198 balls.

 

[Devadwal]

Very good batting by South Africa so far despite two wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

partnerships will be crucial in this chase.

 

[sweep_shot]

100 is up.

South Africa - 100/2 (18 overs; target: 299).

199 to win from 192 balls.
