India clinch maiden ICC Women’s ODI World Cup title with triumph over South Africa
Mumbai: Team India created history at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai by defeating South Africa to claim their first-ever ICC Women’s ODI World Cup title.
Opting to field first after winning the toss, South Africa invited India to bat. The Indian side put up a commanding total of 298 runs in 50 overs, setting a target of 299 for the Proteas.
Chasing the target, South Africa began cautiously. Opener and skipper Laura Wolvaardt anchored the innings and kept her team in contention with a determined century. At one stage, her composed batting appeared to threaten India’s victory hopes. Wolvaardt scored a brilliant 101 off 98 deliveries, including 11 boundaries and a six.
However, her dismissal, caught by Amanjot Kaur off Deepti Sharma’s delivery, sparked wild celebrations among the Indian fans in the stands, marking the turning point of the match and paving the way for India’s historic triumph.
