India’s innings was a masterclass in teamwork and composure. After South Africa chose to bowl first, openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma provided a strong foundation with a 102-run stand. Shafali’s explosive 87 off 78 balls set the tone for the innings, while Smriti’s steady contribution ensured stability at the top.

As the innings progressed, Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur kept the scoreboard ticking with crucial middle-order partnerships. Later, Deepti Sharma (58 off 58) and Richa Ghosh (34 off 24) played pivotal cameos, helping India post a formidable 298/7 in 50 overs — a total that proved too daunting for South Africa to chase.

While the batters set the stage, India’s bowling unit sealed the deal. Seamers struck early to dismiss South Africa’s top order, while spinners maintained pressure through the middle overs. Every wicket was met with thunderous applause from the crowd, as India edged closer to a historic win.

Harmanpreet Kaur’s captaincy drew particular praise for her strategic field placements and calm demeanor under pressure. Her leadership has often been described as a blend of aggression and grace — and this victory was a testament to that.

Fans hailed the women’s team for redefining Indian cricket, calling this victory “a new era for women in sports.” From Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Bollywood celebrities, tributes poured in, celebrating the team’s grit and glory.

Smriti Mandhana, holding the glittering trophy with her teammates, summed it up best during the post-match ceremony: “This win belongs to every girl who dreams of playing cricket for India.”
