Proud, Inspired, Grateful: Celebrating India’s Women’s World Cup Victory

There are days in sport that rewrite history, days when dreams once held aloft finally touch earth. November 2 2025 will forever stand out as one such day — when the ladies in blue walked into legend. The India women’s cricket team clinched their first ever 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup crown in a resounding fashion, defeating South Africa women’s cricket team by 52 runs in the final at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai.

The Match That Made History

Batting first, India posted 298 for 7 in their 50 overs.

• A standout innings of 87 runs from Shafali Verma (78 balls) gave the innings its backbone.
• Deepti Sharma contributed a crucial 58 runs and then turned her arm to claim 5 for 39 in 9.3 overs in the second innings.
  South Africa in reply were dismissed for 246 in 45.3 overs, the chase stalling despite a valiant 101 from Laura Wolvaardt.

The final wicket — Wolvaardt caught by captain Harmanpreet Kaur off Deepti — clinched the moment.

What This Victory Means

Proudly: For decades, Indian women cricketers had come close — semi-finals, finals, high hopes — but this time they crossed the line. The enormity of the win cannot be overstated.
Inspired: Young girls watching now see possibility. The trophy is home. The path is set.
Grateful: To the squad, coaches, support staff, fans and every little hand that built this. And yes — we at Edward Young Labs feel proud to salute this moment, to stand behind the spirit that made it happen.

Moments to Remember

• Shafali’s blazing start — a shot of adrenaline that set the tone.
• Deepti’s all-round brilliance: when the bat, then the ball, delivered.
• The fielding and team unity: pressure applied, mistakes minimal, belief unwavering.
• The culmination of a campaign where, despite early stumbles, the team surged when it mattered most.
