The 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup winning Indian team is likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the national capital on Wednesday, following their historic triumph in Navi Mumbai, said sources aware of the development to IANS.

In a rain-delayed final held at a packed DY Patil Stadium on Sunday, India posted a formidable 298/7, thanks to Player of the Match Shafali Verma’s 87 and Player of the Tournament Deepti Sharma’s brisk 58.

In reply, South Africa were bowled out for 246 despite a valiant 101 from captain Laura Wolvaardt, with Deepti picking a five-wicket haul. As soon as Deepti took out Nadine de Klerk, it sparked jubilant celebrations in the country as Harmanpreet & Co. finally ended the wait for a first-ever ICC silverware for the senior women’s team.
