India won the ICC women’s world cup 2025: India Makes History, a New Age in Indian Women cricket.
Team India, in the presence of an everlasting moment in the history of cricketing. India won the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 and had a fabulous win of 52 runs over South Africa in the historic Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. The victory and the honoring of the red-letter day of the Indian women in the Indian women cricket, reminds that of the legendary World Cup 1983 win by the men team and the new dawn of the women sports in India.
The Indian treasurer Arun Dhumal gave a summary of how the entire nation felt as he said, what the men had done in 1983, the Indian women have done it today in Mumbai. The historic victory will provide a massive boost to the women in cricket in the country and I believe that our sport will now have new heights.
Dominating Bombing during India.
India batted first and made a daunting 298/7 with a frenzied 87 off 65 balls and a steady 58 by Deepti Sharma and Shafali Verma respectively. Smriti Mandhana was the only player capable of holding the innings together as she scored 45, Richa Ghosh also made an impact in the middle order with a crucial 34.
India had a perfect base, with Mandhana and Verma giving it a blistering 100-run opening partnership. South Africa retaliated with late wickets but the Indian batting squad had guaranteed the target of a mere fraction short of 300 – an imposing task even in a high stakes finale.
The Brave Chase in South Africa is not that successful.
In pursuit of 299, the Proteas Women started off well with Tazmin Brits and Laura Wolvaardt contributing a fast 50-run opening partnership. However, the tide turned drastically following the sharp or direct collision by Amanjot Kaur who put Brits back to the pavilion.
Young pace sensation Sree Charani made an impact by snaring Anneke Bosch LBW right at the start of the game. Shafali Verma was the one who turned the tide of the game and snared Sune Luus and Marizanne Kapp in quick successive blows.
That was as far as Deepti Sharma went to make a spell of ages – a match winning 5 for 39 that destroyed the middle order of South Africa. Although Laura Wolvaardt played a heroic 101, the visitors were dismissed with 246 in 45.3 overs to award. India a 52 runs victory and the world cup trophy they had been longing to possess.
A Dream Realized: India Golden Moment.
When the last wicket was lost, the Wankhede broke out into cheers. The team of Harmanpreet Kaur was hugging through the tears, flags in the air and screaming India! India!” echoing through the stadium.
The historic win does not only represent the first time India has ever won the title of the ICC Women worlds cup but also the years of hard work, false hopes and faith. Since the 2005 and 2017 heartbreaks, the women cricketers in India have finally succeeded in conquering the world. It is the case of this triumphant night in Mumbai.
