IND W vs AUS W Final: As the cricketing world gears up for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 final, excitement across India is reaching fever pitch. Harmanpreet Kaur and her team are all set to take on South Africa on Sunday, November 2, at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai – a match that promises to be a historic showdown.
Pant and India A Squad Show Their Support
Leading the chorus of support is India A captain Rishabh Pant, who, along with his teammates, sent a heartfelt message to the Women in Blue ahead of their big day.
Speaking on Star Sports, Pant said:
“All the best to the Indian women’s cricket team. I know you guys have been through a lot of ups and downs during the whole World Cup. But you have come out with flying colours every time. Let’s get the World Cup home, the whole of India is cheering for you. Let’s do it for the country!”
Pant’s message was echoed by his India A teammates – Devdutt Padikkal, Sai Sudharsan, and Rajat Patidar, who all expressed pride and confidence in the women’s team.
India Women’s Rollercoaster Journey
India’s road to the final has been nothing short of dramatic. The team started strong with back-to-back wins against Sri Lanka and Pakistan but soon faced turbulence with three consecutive losses to South Africa, England, and Australia.
However, when it mattered the most, Harmanpreet Kaur’s side bounced back in style. A dominant 53-run win against New Zealand secured their semi-final berth. Then came the unforgettable performance against Australia, one that will be etched in the memory of Indian fans forever.
Chasing a daunting 338-run target, Jemimah Rodrigues played a breathtaking unbeaten knock of 127, while skipper Harmanpreet Kaur added a gritty 89. Their partnership guided India to a thrilling five-wicket win, booking their place in the final.
A Shot at History
India will now meet South Africa once again, this time for the ultimate prize. Interestingly, the two teams faced off earlier in the group stages, where South Africa edged India out by three wickets in a close contest.
This time, though, the stakes couldn’t be higher. With home advantage, roaring fans, and winning momentum, the Women in Blue are determined to turn the tables and bring the World Cup home for the first time in history.
As millions of fans and players like Rishabh Pant rally behind them, the stage is perfectly set for Harmanpreet Kaur’s team to make history in Navi Mumbai.
