A Long-Awaited Dream Comes True
Every cricket player dreams of winning a World Cup, and the Indian women cricketers are no different; they have dreamt for so many years. India's women team has been aspirational since 1978 and got disappointed every time.
Strong Start and Competitive Total
This did raise quite a bit of concern that the team was not able to defend the target.
Turning Point in the Match
In the final, the captain of India was leading from the front as the target-chasing South Africa were 207 for 5 after 39 overs, with the situation tough for them. India had already shown their strength by defeating Australia in the semi-final. Once again, the team showed the same fighting spirit.
Leadership by Harmanpreet Kaur and teamwork started to act like keys toward success. Each and every player contributed their best by maintaining focus and determination to the last ball.
Historic Victory for Indian Women's Cricket
India defeated South Africa in the finals to win the Women's World Cup for the first time. This victory marked a milestone for Indian cricket and fulfilled a dream chased by generations of players.
