India Women won the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 on November 2, 2025. They defeated South Africa Women by 52 runs in the final and clinched the elusive title. This is the first time India Women have won the ICC Women's World Cup and that is why it is a remarkable achievement for them which has the potential to change Women's cricket in India. India started the competition slow. They lost three matches in a row against South Africa Women, Australia Women and England Women and were on the brink of elimination at one point. That is when they staged a comeback, defeated New Zealand Women, qualified for the semifinal and then defeated Australia Women and South Africa Women in consecutive matches to win the ICC Women's World Cup title. Laura Wolvaardt Becomes Second Player In History to Score Centuries in ICC World Cup Semi-Final and Final, Achieves Feat During IND-W vs SA-W WWC 2025 Summit Clash.
