The Indian women’s cricket team won the World Cup for the first time. Shafali Verma’s explosive innings of 87 runs and Deepti Sharma’s fifty made India the world champion.
November 02, 2025 — The Indian women’s cricket team has created history. The moment that was awaited for a long time has finally arrived today. India has achieved the feat of becoming the world champion for the first time by defeating South Africa in the final of the Women’s World Cup 2025.
The Indian team’s performance was excellent from the beginning to the end of the match. South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl first, which proved to be their biggest mistake. India put pressure on the South African bowlers by controlling the run-rate as soon as they started batting.
Putting the disappointment of the semi-final behind her, Shafali Verma played the best ODI innings of her career.
She scored 87 runs in just 78 balls. With seven fours and two sixes, Shafali terrified the South African bowling line-up. However, she missed out on a century when she was dismissed in the 28th over, but her innings laid the foundation for India’s victory.
Along with Shafali, Deepti Sharma also scored an important fifty. Both of them formed a strong partnership in the middle order and took the team to a competitive score.
India scored 298 runs with the loss of 7 wickets in 50 overs and gave South Africa a challenging target of 299 runs. Indian bowlers and fielders also performed brilliantly during the match and prevented South Africa from reaching the target.
