The grand finale of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 was held at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, where the crowd witnessed pure cricketing magic.

But it was Team India’s bowling attack that kept the pressure on throughout.

  • Renuka Singh Thakur took early wickets, removing both openers within the first six overs.
  • Deepti Sharma’s spin in the middle overs tightened the grip.
