Welcome to the Women's World Cup 2025 Final live updates from Navi Mumbai, where India is locking horns with South Africa in a thrilling summit clash! India has set a challenging total of 298 runs for 7 wickets, thanks to solid half-centuries by Shafali Verma and Deepti Sharma. The atmosphere is electric, with 40,000 fans roaring in support. South Africa faces a massive task – chasing 299 runs, which would rewrite Women's World Cup final history. The highest successful chase standing since 2009 is just 167 runs by England. Will the Proteas pull off this historic feat? "South Africa will have to rewrite history if they are to topple India," experts say. The Indian innings had exciting moments: Richa Ghosh's fiery 34 off 24 balls injected late momentum. Her booming sixes even took her to the top of the six-hitters list in the tournament! South African spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba praised her team, "Feel like as bowlers we didn't start well but pulled it back nicely. The aim was to bowl stump to stump... Obviously, it's a high-scoring ground, we're going to do this." The bowling battle intensifies with Renuka Singh Thakur leading the Indian attack, hoping to strike early and apply pressure. Indian cricket icon Nita Ambani cheered the team passionately, saying, "Today's match... says, 'girls can dream big & chase them with hard work & conviction.'" However, India’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur fell to a brilliant Mlaba delivery for 20, a crucial blow for the hosts. Despite this, Deepti Sharma is anchoring the innings well with steady runs and clever shots, especially the sweep, which has been her strength. The crowd also caught a glimpse of men's team captain Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika, boosting morale from the stands. Experts debate if 298 is defendable. Some think India left 20 or more runs on the table but still back the home team to win by 20-30 runs. Dew might affect the match later, favoring batsmen, so Indian bowlers must rise to the occasion. The final showdown is set for an edge-of-the-seat finish. Can South Africa chase down this monster score, or will India claim a historic win? Stay tuned for more fiery moments and nail-biting action from Navi Mumbai!
