It was a sad day at the end of the final match of the Women World Cup 2025 in Navi Mumbai as India captain Harmanpreet Kaur lost a key toss despite having a brave face on her face.
South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt made the correct call when Harmanpreet flipped the coin, and the toss was made on Sunday, December 2 after two hours of rain had fallen.
Women’s World Cup: India Vs South Africa Final
This was a crucial toss to carry since South Africa got the early advantage of the game by choosing to bowl because the weather did not appear good later into the evening.
The two-hour delay did not cost the grand final, which was the third time that India was playing in the 50-over format since 2005 and 2017.
Harmanpreet admitted that India too had decided to bowl first but that they had an upper hand when batting first as they get a chance to make a good score and put the South Africans under pressure in the high stakes game.
And we should have bowled first as well, with such weather and conditions. But, nonetheless, it is a serious game, and somehow we are re-in sync with rhythm. Hopefully we will be able to bat freely and put up a good total in the board,” Harmanpreet said.
The last match is underway in the DY Patil stadium where India and Australia competed in the semi final on Thursday. In said game, India pursued 338 to write a world record on highest successful pursuit in ODIs in women.
