India Women’s Cricket Team Wins 2025 World Cup: A Historic Moment
The India women’s national cricket team, known as the Women in Blue, made history by winning the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup. On Sunday, at the Dr D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, India defeated South Africa women’s national cricket team by 52 runs in the final to lift the Cup for the first time.
Until now, only three nations had won the Women’s ODI World Cup: Australia women’s national cricket team (7 titles), England women’s national cricket team (4 titles) and New Zealand women’s national cricket team (1 title). India’s earlier best finish had been runners-up in 2005 and 2017. With this win, India joins that elite list.
In the final match, strong performances stood out. Deepti Sharma scored a crucial half-century and then took a five-wicket haul, while Shafali Verma produced a fiery knock and grabbed important wickets too. The team’s captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, led with grit and inspired her squad to finish what they had been so close to for years.
This victory is more than just a trophy. For Indian women’s cricket, it represents a turning point. The team had suffered heartbreak in past finals, but this win gives them belief, and sends a strong message to future generations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi called it a “historic” moment and the Board of Control for Cricket in India announced a ₹51 crore reward for the players.
A Bright Future Ahead
With this World Cup triumph, the Women in Blue have changed the narrative. They showed that with talent, teamwork and belief, they can conquer the highest stage. Now, the entire country looks on as they step into a new era -one where Indian women’s cricket may be poised for many more iconic moments.
