India Women (298/7) clinch their maiden ODI World Cup title defeating South Africa Women (246) by 52 runs

[Devadwal]

6 wides . South Africa is in the game. Are we panicking?

 

[Cover Drive Six]

The ball is chasing Renuka

Not sure what she is aiming for while chasing the ball.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Another wide.

Almost let go another 5 lol

Keep calm girls

 

[sweep_shot]

57 from 32.

Nadine De Klerk is the last woman standing.

 

[JaDed]

Terrible from Charani wth, entire RR has changed

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Get de Klerk wickets and match is our

match is already urs.. this score cant be chased even if klerk stays on the wicket through all 50 overs

 

[Bhaijaan]

This is an awful over for India.

Three boundaries

14 off it and 1 still to go.

She’s throwing it away

 

[Cover Drive Six]

De Klerk keeps hitting to the leg side, and our captain has no plan. We need to set up one extra fielder on the leg side.

 

[JaDed]

Lucky run out lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Run-out.

Retarded running.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Run out

9 down

India needs just 1 more wicket

 

[Devadwal]

match is already urs.. this score cant be chased even if klerk stays on the wicket through all 50 overs

Nah its not over until its over.

9 down but de Klerk is still here.

 

[JaDed]

Some really peculiar bowling change decisions.

yup, random too.

 

[sweep_shot]

The lady umpire gave it out. Why didn't she refer it? It was close. Too lazy?

Anyway, reply confirmed it was out but she should've referred it.

 

[PakFan2010]

How useless is Khaka?

South Africa's racial quota policy has cost them the match.

 

[JaDed]

India Women did what the men could not do.

Win a World Cup at home and KO Australia in the finals.

India did KO aus in 2011 and went on win but yeah last one was terrible.

 

[Mockingbird]

The lady umpire gave it out. Why didn't she refer it? It was close. Too lazy?

Anyway, reply confirmed it was out but she should've referred it. She probably thinks she is a super-woman.

seems there was a smart replay.

 

[JaDed]

Deepti gets a five and we win!!!! she deserves Mos and Mom, easy win in the end thanks to Deepti!

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Kapil's catch by Harman Captain!!!

 

[sweep_shot]

All over.

India are the world champions.

Congratulations.

 

[Rajdeep]

India won

 

[PakFan2010]

[Devadwal]

YESSSSSSSS BABBBYYYY. WE ARE THE CHAMPION OF WORLD CRICKET.

[jnaveen1980]

Disgusting.

South Africa are losers.

THey were all out for 67, 90 odd they made the final They are losers? What does that make others?

 

[JaDed]

Goat performance from Deepti with bat and ball, 50 and a fifer!

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

The lady umpire gave it out. Why didn't she refer it? It was close. Too lazy?

Anyway, reply confirmed it was out but she should've referred it.

Let's all cheer our lucky Mascot for Indian team, be it men or women !!

 

[Ab Fan]

India won it when they beat Australia in Semis. This was just a formality.

 

[Bhaijaan]

India wins their first Women’s CWC 2025

History has been made tonight

This is the dawn of a new era for Women’s Cricket. These women, with what they have done tonight, have ensured future women’s cricketers will earn a lot more money.

Well done!!

 

[Rajdeep]

Congrats to all Indian posters - @JaDed @Devadwal @pillionrider @Bhaijaan

Commiserations to @sweep_shot

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Captain Harmanpreet took a stunner at the end and finished it in style, just like MSD finishing with a six!

 

[Red-Indian]

What a golden period for Indian cricket.

T20 World Cup, Champions trophy, Asia Cup and now the Women's World Cup!

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

India won it when they beat Australia in Semis. This was just a formality.

Teams who have beaten Australia in semis, didnt win the cup eventually in women cricket.
It was some stat, 3 times it had happened in the past or something.

 

[pillionrider]

All over.

India are the world champions.

Congratulations.

 

[PakFan2010]

What a golden period for Indian cricket.

T20 World Cup, Champions trophy, Asia Cup and now the Women's World Cup!

All pointless.

Choked the one that matters.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Womens team delivered the nation the ODI CWC.

Vande Mataram being sung by thousands of spectators at the venue. Goosebumps worthy moment

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Captain Harmanpreet took a stunner at the end and finished it in style, just like MSD finishing with a six!

MSD gets plugged in for no reason!

 

[harshjoshi87]

World Champions India women

 

[Sachin fan]

All pointless.

Choked the one that matters.

So semi final doesnt matter? I guess England has lifted the cup then

 

[Dr_Bassim]

@sweep_shot commiserations.

Now BCCI will control both women and men cricket and world cricket will suffer even more.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Vande Mataram sounds so sweet! What a victory! Amazing.

 

[Mockingbird]

Such a proud moment. Congrats to all the Indian cricket fans.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

People are bursting crackers in Delhi, as if the air is very breathable

 

[RexRex]

Congratulations India

 

[dravidthewall]

India are the world champion

 

[OldWarHorse]

This feels as good as the 2011 WC win. Amazing feeling

 

[harshjoshi87]

What a golden period for Indian cricket.

T20 World Cup, Champions trophy, Asia Cup and now the Women's World Cup!

Under 19 Women's World Cup too

 

[Dr_Bassim]

All pointless.

Choked the one that matters.

Why does ODI World Cup only matter?

The last time we won it was when half the population of Pakistan wasn't born.

 

[JaDed]

This feels as good as the 2011 WC win. Amazing feeling

Because top teams were beaten, esp Aus!

 

[Josh]

Yay!! We did it. Well done team India! Fantastic performance from Deepti and India missed an all rounder Pandya badly in 2023 final. Fortunately we had Deepti here. Lost the toss in semi-final and final and won them both convincingly against real tough opponents. Well deserved !! Wish I could have attended the final too.

 

[charlie007]

Congratulations India!!!!

 

[globetrotter]

India the world championship

North south east or west
India is the best

 

[Devadwal]

Feel so proud Today to he indian. Thankyou team india

 

[DeadlyVenom]

a momentous win for India.

Well done to them.

I tried for tickets. Wanted to take my daughter to see the game but they were impossible to get even at a huge premium.

 

[saimayubera]

All pointless.

Pakistanis who get kicked out in the group stage and have lost all the matches to India in these tournaments shouldn’t be talking about “what matters”.

And this a WC, same tier as the men’s WC by ICC.

Last time Pakistan won a world cup was more than 30 years ago and that too only 1.

India now has 3.

 

[AZulfi]

India deserved to win because they beat the best team (Australia) of the tournament. One of the better batting teams in the tournament along with Australia.

South Africa had their moments. As long as Wolvaardt was at the crease, South Africa had a chance. What a player? a hundred in the semifinal, a hundred in the final; most runs (571) by a player in any Women’s World Cup. She should be the player of the tournament imo.

De Klerk perhaps should have batted up the order

 

[jnaveen1980]

WT20, CT, now women's WC !!!

 

[globetrotter]

Harmanpreet Kaur-Smriti Mandana duo is similar to Ro-Ko, this world cup win is a tribute to their long career

I correctly predicted SA gonna choke....

It is very very hard for Asian teams to win world cups because in terms of strength, stamina, skill, all round skills they are streets ahead of Asians. India made 2017 final and lost when theyw ere at the door step of win had a heart break. Finally they they did it.

 

[Rajdeep]

What a golden period for Indian cricket.

T20 World Cup, Champions trophy, Asia Cup and now the Women's World Cup!

Pls lets not club Asia cup with other wins. That win hits different and one of the glorious 1 month for Indian cricket. Nothing comes close

Laura Wolvaardt is a terrific player to watch(great bat flow) and a great leader.

Feel for her, Chloe and Nadine and the rest.

So close yet so far.

India won both mens asia cup and womens world cup and defeated pakistan in four consecutive sundays.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Hats off to South Africa women team, lost T20 World Cup final last year & World Cup final today.

Hope they win an ICC tournament in near future.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

What a golden period for Indian cricket.

T20 World Cup, Champions trophy, Asia Cup and now the Women's World Cup!

Yes.
South African cricket is also doing really well, men’s team reached the T20 finals, won the WTC, and now the women’s team has reached the finals too. Unlucky for them this time, but they really played good cricket.

 

[RexRex]

SA didn't have their best team because of the quota system, which is sad.

 

[Red-Indian]

It's all been sort of a fever dream! We seem to be winning everything we go into. Veteran players still look great. Young players are delivering. The talent pipeline looks insane.

Never been a better time to be an Indian cricket fan. Especially for those of us who've been following the team since those dire 80s.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

POM - Shafali Verma
POTM -Deepthi Sharma

 

[TheRock]

All over.

India are the world champions.

Congratulations.

Thanx.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Such humble backgrounds, so many of them from small towns and villages!!
Its simply amazing

I tried for tickets. Wanted to take my daughter to see the game but they were impossible to get even at a huge premium.

My daughter's awake way past her bed time and wants to switch from basketball to cricket.

I can't begin to imagine how many other young girls have stars in their eyes as a result of this night.

Could be the start of something big.

 

[Savak]

Pakistani female cricketers, watch and learn, stop crying about lack of support, resources when you average 10-15 with the bat inspite of playing for ten plus years for Pakistan and have lost 85% of the games for the country

 

[Bhaijaan]

The best thing about this triumph is that India slayed the giants of women’s cricket Australia in the semi final and beat a very strong and very talented South African women’s team in the final.

They had to get past some incredibly talented and athletic women’s teams to get to this trophy:

There is some bowling talent in Pakistan women’s team. They need to start batting better though.

 

[Robbie]

We won..

Indian women have shown again they are the best of us.. whether it is cricket, sports, science, politics, ISRO, Air force, Business. They are at top of the line and inspiration in India. They are the one driving us forward and us men are the ones dragging India back.


Proud to be Indian.. vande Mataram

And to all the haters..

ICo granulation to India Women team, supportive staff and coach Amol Mujumdar

Hats off to South Africa women team, lost T20 World Cup final last year & World Cup final today.

Hope they win an ICC tournament in near future.

They won ICC Test championship.

This is part of some pathetic ignorant posts. Pakistan female cricketers earn less than a Peon in PCB office.
There is no comparison in level of support Indian women cricketers with their Pakistani counterparts. The salary difference would literally be 20X or even more.
In terms of output/salary, Pakistani women cricketers >>> Pakistani men's cricketers.
