Women's World Cup Final 2025

The 2025 Women's World Cup final is threatened by rain. The title match will be played between the Indian women's team and the South African women's team in Navi Mumbai. The DY Patil Stadium is the same venue where India defeated Australia in the semi-finals. The bad news for the final is that a yellow alert has been issued for Maharashtra, predicting rain in Mumbai and surrounding cities. However, the ICC has set aside a reserve day for the final. However, if rain occurs on the reserve day and the match is unable to be played, who will be awarded the trophy? Find out the ICC's rules on this matter.

India advanced to the final by defeating Australia in the semi-finals at the DY Patil Stadium. Jemimah Rodriguez scored an unbeaten 127 against seven-time world champions Australia, earning her the Player of the Match award. South Africa advanced to the final by defeating England.

Such a final is happening for the first time in history.

It's certain that we'll have a new champion this time, as India and South Africa have never won the ODI World Cup before. India has reached the final for the third time, while South Africa will be playing in the final for the first time. This is the first time in history that neither Australia nor England will be in the Women's World Cup final.

How will the weather be in Navi Mumbai?

The World Cup final between India Women and South Africa Women will be held at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The match will begin at 3:00 PM on Sunday, November 2nd. According to AccuWeather, there is a 63 percent chance of rain on Sunday, the day of the match, with a 50 percent chance between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. It was at this same stadium that the league stage match between India and Bangladesh was abandoned due to rain.

If no match is played on Sunday, the reserve day is scheduled for Monday, November 3rd. The next match will then be played on Monday, but there is a 55 percent chance of rain in Navi Mumbai on that day as well. If no matches are played on both days and the match is cancelled, how will the result be decided? Which team will be declared the champion and which the runner-up?

What if the World Cup final is cancelled due to rain?

If the match is not completed or cannot start on Sunday, it will resume from where it left off on Monday, the reserve day. The first attempt will be to complete the match with a full 50-over format. If rain fails to complete the match on both days, the Indian women's cricket team and the South African women's cricket team will be declared joint winners.
