Who is favourite to win the Women's ODI World Cup 2025?
India enter the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 final as slight favourites based on momentum, and home advantage. Harmanpreet Kaur’s side have won six of their eight matches in the tournament, including a record chase of 338 against Australia in the semifinal. Jemimah Rodrigues, Smriti Mandhana, and Deepti Sharma have been India’s top performers.
South Africa, unbeaten in their last four matches, have also been outstanding, led by Laura Wolvaardt, the tournament’s leading run-scorer with 470 runs. However, India’s superior head-to-head record of 20 wins in 34 ODIs, along with their experience in pressure games at home, gives them a narrow edge heading into Sunday’s final.
