The 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup final was a Women's One Day International (WODI) cricket match played at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on 2 November 2025 to decide the winner of the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup. It was played between host nation India and South Africa. This was the second time that Women's Cricket World Cup final was held in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region after 2013, and the first in Navi Mumbai.
India defeated South Africa by 52 runs to win their maiden World Cup.[2]
The 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup was the thirteenth edition of the Women's Cricket World Cup, a quadrennial World Cup for Women's cricket in One Day International (ODI) format organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). In July 2022, the ICC announced India as the host nation for the tournament, as part of the 2024–2027 ICC Women's Hosts Cycle.[3] However, following an agreement between the BCCI and PCB, the ICC confirmed that matches between India or Pakistan at ICC events in 2024–2027 will be played at neutral venues when either of them are the hosts.[4]
On 2 June, the ICC announced the venues for the tournament, with the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru named as the venue for the final.[5] However, on 22 August, a revised list of venues was released, in which the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai replaced Bengaluru as the final venue.[6]
This was South Africa's maiden final of the Women's World Cup,[7][8] while India reached their third final, having been runners-up on both the occasions (2005 against Australia and 2017 against England).[9] It was also the first Women's World Cup final that featured neither Australia nor England.[10]
Route to the final
Each team played the other seven teams in the league stage; the top four teams advanced to the semi-finals.[11]
