Smriti Mandhana Gets Emotional After India’s Maiden ICC Women’s World Cup Win – Watch Full Speech

India created history in women’s cricket, lifting their first-ever ICC Women’s World Cup trophy after a thrilling victory against South Africa in Navi Mumbai on November 3, 2025.

 

Star opener Smriti Mandhana played a crucial role throughout the tournament, finishing as the second-highest run-scorer with 434 runs. Meanwhile, Deepti Sharma’s match-winning spell of 5/39 dismantled South Africa’s chase, securing a memorable win for India.

 

During the post-match ceremony, Mandhana broke into tears while expressing her emotions:

 

“Every World Cup we’ve played came with heartbreaks, but we always believed in our bigger goal — to grow women’s cricket. To finally lift the trophy today, I would take those 45 sleepless nights any day for this moment,” she said.

 

Mandhana also highlighted the team’s unity and positive environment:

 

“After the last World Cup, we decided to get fitter, stronger, and better in every area. What made this journey special was how we supported each other through everything. This team truly stayed connected, and that made the difference.”

 

India’s Road to Victory

 

After losing the toss, India posted a powerful total of 298/7 in 50 overs.

 

  • Shafali Verma led the charge with a brilliant 87, while Mandhana added a solid 45.
  • Partnerships between Jemimah Rodrigues (24), Harmanpreet Kaur (20), and Deepti Sharma (58) ensured India maintained momentum.
  • Richa Ghosh (34) provided the finishing touch to take India near the 300 mark.

South Africa’s bowlers tried to fight back, with Ayabonga Khaka taking 3/58, but India’s batting depth proved too strong.

 

In response, South Africa began well with a 50-run opening stand. Laura Wolvaardt (101) kept them in contention, supported by Annerie Dercksen (37). However, once Deepti Sharma removed both set batters, India regained full control.

 

Deepti became the first Indian woman to take a five-wicket haul in a World Cup final, sealing a 52-run win as South Africa were bowled out for 246 runs.

 

India’s Golden Moment in Women’s Cricket

 

This triumph marks a new era for Indian women’s cricket, symbolizing resilience, teamwork, and determination. Mandhana’s consistent batting and Deepti’s all-round brilliance stood out, inspiring millions of young cricketers across the nation.
