Tbc vs Tbc, Final, ICC Womens World Cup 2025 - CommentaryTBC vs TBC, Final, ICC Womens World Cup 2025 - Commentary

Aryan: It may seem India is in winning position, but they must get Laura Wolvaardt's wicket or else she has the capability to turn this around alone.

Prashanth R: Full credit to Shafali! Contributed with the bat, delivered with the ball, came straight into the team in high-pressure games and stepped up brilliantly in the final. Truly commendable performance!

Rohit Kosigi Shroff: India smelling the trophy. Wolvaardt the only barrier standing between India and glory !!!!

Eshaan: Talk about comeback stories. Jemimah in the semis and now Shafali

Sujoy: Talk about taking a gamble and winning the jackpot! Shafali Verma, my goodness!

Jackson: Well that was a silly review from India

Shubham: SA playing it so well and smartly. They know once they set in, India will be under the pump.

Diwakar Shukla: "Any dew?" -- Can't see much evidence of it. No one wiping the ball a great deal.

Keval: Runs on the board always help in any final. Yes it may be 20-30 short of expected target still the onus is on South Africa to chase this. Exciting 50 overs coming ahead.

Debargha Malakar: Richa Ghosh should be sent earlier. She can play the long innings. She is more than a pinch hitter.

Advay: Pitch seem to be holding up. If no dew, then it is advantage India

Devendra: "seems there is no dew as of now, With the cool temperature going around, what are the chances of dew coming in picture" -- Hard to say for certain but given that it was overcast the whole day, there may not be much dew. On current evidence, the older ball seems to be gripping in the surface and slower ones are working well.

Adarsh : It is such a difficult thing to decide when is the time to go guns blazing especially you lose a couple of wickets. That too in a World Cup Final.

Vijay: India should make sure to get to 300, anything above is an advantage. In a final 300 is a daunting task, just because India chased the other night, it ain't gonna happen every time. Should not loose the plot by aiming for 350.

Santhosh: On such a fast outfield, the fielding plays such a crucial role and SA have done a pretty decent job so far, apart from the dropped catch. Hope India do a better job today than they did against Australia.

DK: Tricky phase for India here, two new batters, they will need to rebuild smartly and not lose wickets in a bunch, while also ending up helping the total over 300.

Santhosh: India must look to replicate the cliched 'double your 30 overs score' template today. Given how the pitch is a batting paradise and how tough defending at the D.Y Patil can be, chasing anything in excess of 300 in an ICC final will still be a daunting task for SA!

Arun NK: Hope the girls score in excess of 350 today. Taking no credit away from the batters but pitch looks like a batting paradise.

Raj: "Do you think they should up the tempo a little bit? Only one wicket down yet the run rate is under 6." -- Good thing about this partnership is that they're not consuming too many dots. Just 9 dots out of 40 so far. Going at a pretty brisk rate too.

Sujoy: SA much like Aus are fielding like hawks. And much like Aus they have also dropped a catch!

Musaib: One team coming off of defending a 300+ score and the other hunting down a 300+ target in their respective semis. Should be cracker of a game should South Africa bat first and India hunts that down.

Sai Kiran Reddy: The ultimate comeback! From being bowled out for a mere 69 to beating England in the World Cup semifinal. South Africa's resilience was one of the most remarkable turnarounds the game has ever seen.

Vijay: One of my favourite moment is the way Phoebe Litchfield threw herself at the ball in the semi-final match against India, happy that fielding standard is going high in women's game.

Tony: This final is a celebration of resilience and growth for both teams, with India’s legacy and South Africa’s pioneering spirit making for a memorable contest in women’s cricket history.

SKD: BAN VS SL game, 12 needed of the last 2 overs for a Bangladesh win with 6 wickets in hand, and the duo of Sugandika Kumari & Chamari Athapaththu gave away only 4 runs and picked up 5 wickets for SL to win. Has got to be among the most nerve-wracking endings in this year's WC.

Aryan Joshi: Has to be the Jemimah knock...etched into the hearts of all the Indians

Abinash: Though Alana King's 7fer was the talk of the town, Sophie Eccelstone's spell vs SL was some bowling, literally unplayable

Naitik Tater : The best bowling spell was of Alana King against South Africa, like the way she bundled South African batters was superb and I am hopeful that today Deepti/Charani does the same!!

Souparna Mukhopadhyay: "Do we have another day in case there's a washout ?" -- Yes, there is a reserve day for the final.
