🏏ICC Women's World Cup 2025: South Africa W vs India W, FINAL🏏 - Page 5

Murali Krishnan: "I understand it is raining at the moment in Navi Mumbai. My question is that if it clears up as per the forecasts, why truncated game? especially when there is a "reserve" day tomorrow and it is designed to be played as a continuation (not a new start). Why not give the fullness to the ultimate game? " So, the first rule is that the organisers try and complete the game on the first day and go into the reserve day only if needed. Their first priority is to end the game on the main day

No change, unfortunately. "Quite bad," is the verdict from Sruthi, further adding that "think it was the heaviest spell of rain since morning." But there is a silver lining. She says it has slowed down. That's caused a little excitement within the fans who have been patiently waiting. Loud cheers for ground staff walking out.

"There's more grey clouds on the way, coming over from the pavilion end. The outfield is quite wet. Standing water on exposed areas near the ends," is the latest from Purnima. "First layers of covers going off as I type this," she quickly adds.

Aryan Joshi: Has to be the Jemimah knock...etched into the hearts of all the Indians

Abinash: Though Alana King's 7fer was the talk of the town, Sophie Eccelstone's spell vs SL was some bowling, literally unplayable

Naitik Tater : The best bowling spell was of Alana King against South Africa, like the way she bundled South African batters was superb and I am hopeful that today Deepti/Charani does the same!!

Vijay: One of my favourite moment is the way Phoebe Litchfield threw herself at the ball in the semi-final match against India, happy that fielding standard is going high in women's game.

Tony: This final is a celebration of resilience and growth for both teams, with India’s legacy and South Africa’s pioneering spirit making for a memorable contest in women’s cricket history.

SKD: BAN VS SL game, 12 needed of the last 2 overs for a Bangladesh win with 6 wickets in hand, and the duo of Sugandika Kumari & Chamari Athapaththu gave away only 4 runs and picked up 5 wickets for SL to win. Has got to be among the most nerve-wracking endings in this year's WC.

Uh-oh. Drizzling again. "Covers that had gone off are coming back on"
