Everyone is eagerly waiting for the ICC Women’s World Cup final to be played between India and South Africa. This historic final will be played at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday 2nd November. It is historic because both the teams are going to take the field for the first time with the hope of winning the title and after 25 years a new champion will be decided in the Women’s World Cup. But just 24 hours before the start of the final match, a sensational claim happened, which shocked everyone. A day before this title match, the Indian team was declared the winner on the Wikipedia page of the Women’s World Cup.
Won the final by 100 runs
Yes, this shocking claim was made on the official Wikipedia page of Women’s Cricket World Cup. In fact, on Saturday, November 1, when the final of the current tournament was mentioned in the section of all the previous editions of the World Cup on this page, India was declared the winner. According to this, India defeated South Africa by 100 runs in the final and won the World Cup title for the first time. This one update surprised everyone and its screenshots went viral.
What is the truth of this announcement?
But why did this happen? Is this really going to happen? Or has someone made this claim while making a prediction? The truth is that this change in Wikipedia appears to be part of some mischief. Actually Wikipedia is an open editing platform, in which any person can make changes. Changes to any Wikipedia page do not have to go through any kind of strict monitoring. In such a situation, it often happens that such changes are made in the pages of different personalities, organizations, countries or any tournament, which are done just to be funny or to harass someone.
Apparently, when the change regarding the World Cup winner was noticed by someone, it was corrected after some time and the result of the final was completely removed. Now who will be the winner of this tournament will be decided in the 100 over game on Sunday, in which a tough competition is expected between the two teams. Then there will be an official change on the Wikipedia page too, which will be perfect.
