India Lift Maiden Women’s ODI World Cup Title

Laura Wolvaardt won the toss and decided to bowl first. Riding on Shafali Verma and Deepti Sharma’s sensational innings, the hosts put up 298 runs on the board. Both the openers navigated the Proteas challenges with ease and once it had appeared, the Women In Blue would cross the 330 run mark.

 

But the South African bowlers kept picking up wickets at regular intervals as India fell short by just one run of the 300 mark.

Laura Wolvaardt led the run chase with a solid knock of 101 runs and became the second women’s cricketer after Alyssa Healy to score back-to-back centuries in the ODI World Cup semifinal and final. But she ran out of partners and eventually the home side had the last laugh.
