US EditionWomen’s ODI World Cup 2025 Final: Skipper Wolvaardt Says Pressure on India Could Work in South Africa’s Favour
South Africa aims to boost women's cricket domestically with a maiden World Cup win while India plays before a crowd of over 35,000 at D.Y. Patil Stadium.
- On Sunday, November 2, India women's cricket team and South Africa women's cricket team meet at the Dr DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai, for the Women's World Cup final, producing a new champion.
- Having recently introduced domestic contracts, the Proteas say a World Cup win would be really special for the women's game and inspire young girls back home watching on TV.
- Having accumulated 470 runs in eight matches, Wolvaardt is 40 runs shy of the highest run-getter milestone in a single ICC Women's World Cup edition.
- A crowd of more than 35,000 is expected and could affect play, as it did in the semifinal, with over 90 percent Indian supporters likely, while Wolvaardt said calmness will decide the winner.
- Despite past results such as India's last win in 2005, tournament form shows India women's cricket team won early games but the South Africa women's cricket team rallied with three consecutive wins, including Nadine de Klerk's strong performances.
