- Leadership icon Mitahli Raj celebrated India’s ODI World Cup breakthrough
- India’s triumph highlighted teamwork, strategy, and the power to women’s leadership
- India, sent in to bat first, set a total of 298/7 and later dismissed South Africa for 246, despite Wolvaardt’s brilliant century
Former Indian cricket captain Mithali Raj lauded team India’s historic triumph as India captured their maiden ICC Women’s World Cup crown, defeating South Africa by 52 runs. The nail-biting final on Sunday saw team India’s resilience, strategy, and unwavering pursuit of excellence to gain win in Navi Mumbai.
Expressing pride, Mitahli said, "I am just going to give them a hug. The way they have made a comeback in this World Cup was amazing,". "I am just very happy and emotional that India has finally won the World Cup. That is something we all had been waiting for years, and finally we got to see that.”
“WHAT A WIN! INCREDIBLY PROUD of this team — the belief.. the heart..the fight! Overwhelming emotions.. Joy out of bounds!!! To the wonderful #womeninblue .. you’ve just made history!” said Anjum Chopra, Indian cricket commentator and former cricketer.
With South Africa opted to field, Indian batters showcased composure and control. Smriti Mandhana (45 off 58) and Shafali Verma (87 off 78) built a solid century stand, with Jemimah Rodrigues (24 off 37) adding crucial support and powering India to 298/7. The Indian bowlers displayed a power spell as well. Deepti Sharma’s decisive spell of 5/39, included a record four-wicket haul in a WC final turned the tables and sealed India’s historic win, bowling the opponent out for 246.
Every Indian’s heart is filled with pride as the win occupies a place of deep significance. The Indian team encountered a testing stretch, dropping three consecutive matches that cast doubts over their qualification hopes. This pushed the team to recalibrate, refocus, and reignite their pursuit of excellence, etching their name in history with a first-ever WC win.
