Women’s World Cup 2025, Day 34, the final, India South Africa: After two iconic semi-finals, the double underdogs that triumphed in those contests moved to the final chapter of the tournament. And if you thought the Jemimah Rodrigues story was a good one, the Shafali Verma comeback tale gives it a run for its money. A starring influence with bat and ball saw her give Harmanpreet Kaur's team the advantage in one innings, then the other, while the South Africans battled hard with Laura Wolvaardt again leading from the front. A historic day in Mumbai.
