After 30 thrilling matches across the last month, only two teams are left standing, and on Sunday, a new champion will be crowned when South Africa take on India in the 2025 Women’s World Cup final! The Proteas and the Women in Blue finished third and fourth in the group stage of the competition, respectively. Let’s get into the match prediction.
South Africa have made giant strides forward in the past few years, reaching consecutive T20 World Cup finals, and they have now done likewise in the 50-over format.
The Proteas rattled off five wins in a row to finish third in the group before beating England by 125 runs in the semi-final. Laura Wolvaardt scored a stunning 169, while Marizanne Kapp bagged 5/20 against the Lionesses.
Wolvaardt is the leading run scorer in the competition with 470 runs, while Nondumiso Shangase has the best bowling average (9.50).
Meanwhile, India booked their place in the final by pulling off the highest run chase in Women’s international ODI cricket history of 339 against Australia in the semi-final on Thursday.
Jemimah Rodrigues was the star of the show, scoring a sensational 127*, while Harmanpreet Kaur contributed 89. Smriti Mandhana was dismissed cheaply in that match, but she is still the second-highest run-scorer in the competition (389).
India are massive favourites here. They have home advantage and are playing at the same stadium in which they won their semi-final. However, they were beaten by the Proteas in the group stage of the competition.

Our India Women vs South Africa Women Prediction
India are the clear favourites in this match, and they are at a massive advantage as the final will be played at the DY Patil Stadium, where they beat Australia on Thursday, while South Africa played their semi at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati.
However, the Proteas beat the Women in Blue fairly convincingly during the group stage and are well worth consideration at very good odds. For us, Laura Wolvaardt has been the standout player of this tournament, and if the visitors are to pull off a victory here, we fancy their skipper to lead the charge. Our India Women vs. South Africa Women prediction is Laura Wolvaardt over 31.5 runs.
