There will be a new champion holding the trophy at the end of the match as neither side have ever lifted.
For India, the battle is no longer about proving skill or form, but about crossing the elusive final hurdle that has so often tripped them — including in this very tournament. After a stuttering start that saw them lose three matches on the trot, India revived their home campaign with compelling wins over former champions New Zealand and Australia, rediscovering their spark when it mattered most. Semifinals can often drain teams emotionally, and India will have to regroup quickly after that high-voltage chase.
This time, Jemimah Rodrigues’ unforgettable 127 not out and Harmanpreet’s gritty 89 helped India to a sensational win against Australia in a record-breaking chase in the semi-final. It is a result that has already sent tidal waves across the country. South Africa, meanwhile, will not mind the “underdog” tag. They’ve shown remarkable resilience through the tournament — from being bowled out for 69 against England in Guwahati to later thrashing the same opponent at the same venue, and recovering from a 97 all-out against Australia in Indore.
