I ndian women’s cricket stands on the brink of a watershed moment, reminiscent of the men’s historic 1983 triumph, with the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side determined to end its ICC trophy drought when it faces a formidable South Africa in the Women’s World Cup final on Sunday (November 2, 2025).

Sunday’s (November 2) title clash will be India’s third time in the Women’s World Cup final. India lost to Australia by 98 runs in the 2005 final and suffered a dramatic late collapse in 2017 against England to lose by nine runs.
