Women’s World Cup: India, South Africa Meet As Tournament Gears Up For Historic Crowning In 52 Years (Preview)
Dr DY Patil Sports Academy: Women's cricket is set for another upheaval when India and South Africa meet in a historic final clash in the ICC Women's ODI World Cup, eying their maiden title. Whichever team is crowned the champion on Sunday night after a mouth-watering clash at the DY Patil Sports Academy will make history as only the fourth team ever to win the World Cup in the 50-over format, joining Australia, England, and New Zealand as the countries to win the coveted title..
While this is South Africa’s first appearance in a 50-over World Cup final, the Women in Blue will be competing for the third time, having played in the tournament’s summit clash in 2005 and 2017. Led by former skipper Mithali Raj on both occasions, the Indian side failed to get their hands on the coveted silverware, losing to Australia in 2005 and to hosts England in 2017.
However, the stakes are higher this time, with three-time champions England and seven-time world champions Australia out of the competition after losing their respective semi-final encounters against South Africa and India.
