The 2025 Women's One-Day World Cup culminates on Sunday with a historic final between India and South Africa. For the first time in the tournament's history, neither dominant force—seven-time champion Australia nor four-time winner England—will feature in the title clash, guaranteeing a new World Cup champion.
Both teams are chasing their maiden trophy. This marks India's third attempt in the final, having lost previously in 2005 and 2017. South Africa reaches the final for the first time.
While India holds a 20-14 lead in 34 overall ODIs against South Africa, their recent World Cup record is tied at three wins each, with South Africa clinching the last three encounters. The stage is set for a thrilling battle to lift the trophy.
