On November 2, Harmanpreet Kaur’s India will take on South Africa Women at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, with both teams eyeing their first-ever ICC global title.
With stars like Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Deepti Sharma in sublime form, Team India stands just one step away from scripting cricketing history on home soil.
Men’s Team Sends Heartfelt Wishes: “Bring the Cup Home!”
Ahead of the grand finale, the Indian men’s cricket team – currently in Australia for a T20I series – sent their heartfelt wishes through a touching video message released by the BCCI.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir led the messages, saying:

“Just be yourself and enjoy the occasion.”
Adding a fun twist, Arshdeep Singh said,
“The trophy is here only, you just have to pick it up.”
Meanwhile, Sanju Samson reminded them how proud the nation already is, and Shubman Gill summed up the country’s emotions perfectly with a powerful message:
“Wishing the women’s team all the very best for the finals. Bring the cup home!”
This rare moment of cross-team unity has lifted national morale even higher, as millions of fans rally behind the women in blue.

India’s Road to the Final: Grit, Glory, and a Record-Breaking Chase
Team India’s journey to the 2025 World Cup final has been nothing short of inspirational. After a mixed start in the group stage, the squad regrouped with determination and marched into the knockouts.
Their semi-final performance against defending champions Australia will go down in cricket folklore. Chasing a mammoth 339-run target, the highest successful chase in Women’s ODI history – India stunned the Aussies in front of a roaring Navi Mumbai crowd.
Jemimah Rodrigues was the star of the night, smashing an unbeaten 127, while skipper Harmanpreet Kaur anchored the innings with a composed 89. The victory sealed India’s passage into their third-ever World Cup final, while for South Africa, this marks their first appearance in a global final.
A Battle of Firsts: Destiny Awaits
Both India and South Africa now stand on the brink of a historic milestone. Neither side has ever lifted a Women’s World Cup trophy, and Sunday’s clash promises to be a defining moment for the sport.
For India, victory at home would not only exorcise the ghosts of 2017’s heartbreak and 2023’s near-miss, but also inspire a new generation of young cricketers across the nation.
One Step Away from Glory
As the sun sets over Navi Mumbai on November 2, the entire nation will unite behind Harmanpreet Kaur and her fearless squad. Win or lose, they’ve already captured the hearts of millions but now, just one dream remains: to bring the World Cup home.
