WOMEN'S ODI WORLD CUP - 805
WOMEN'S ODI WORLD CUP 2025
बीती हुई समय या वक्त को हमारे लाख कोशिशों के बावजूद हम कभी वापस नहीं ला सकते हैं ।
Nothing can bring back the TIME once it is over .
The World Cup Women's ODI Match between India and South Africa was scheduled to be played at the Navi Mumbai DY Patil Stadium at 3.00 PM IST ON Sunday the 2nd Nov 2025 .
I must admit that I am a keen Cricket Enthusiast and watch all India Related Matches . Being now in Canada with my Son I have Followed and have watched all India Related Matches from here in CANADA . The start so far has been at 5.30 AM LOCAL TORONTO TIME .
To increase daylight hours ; it is a standard practice in these parts and in most of North America to turn back the clock by ONE HOUR ON THE FIRST SUNDAY OF EACH YEAR IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER WHICH HAPPENS TO BE TODAY . SO THE SCHEDULED TIME FOR THE START OF THE MATCH WAS AT 4.30 AM WHICH IS ONE HOUR EARLIER THAN USUAL TORONTO TIME OF 5.30 AM .
( FOR THOSE WHO ARE CURIOUS , IT IS WORTH MENTIONING THAT THE CLOCK IS ADVANCED BY ONE HOUR AS SUMMER SETS IN END MARCH )
The Semi Final Match between India and Australia which was a Jamima Masterclass and which India had Won earlier ignited interest amongst all to Watch the Final .
I was awake at 4.00 AM itself , only to learn that the start had been delayed due to rains at Navi Mumbai .
The India Men's T20 Match against Australia which was being played at Hobart and was in progress then , came in very handy .
Arshdeep Singh with the Ball and Washington Sunder with the Bat were exceptional and we won the Match rather comfortably .
There was a delayed start due to the rains and clean up operations to the World Cup Final at Navi Mumbai . Shefali Verma ; Smriti Mandhaana ; Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh played the innings of their Lifetime to post a total of 298 runs .
The reply by South Africa was equally spirited . Their captain Laura Volvaardt who compiled another Century fell short of Partners and were short by 52 runs . The Indian Women Created History to become the World Champions . The all around performance of the whole team and the Two All Rounders Shefali Verma and Deepti Sharma in particular stole the show in the Final . This is in no way to belittle the performance of others who were instrumental in India Reaching the Final First and the Winning the Title .
WELL-DONE TEAM INDIA , YOU MAKE US ALL PROUD BECAUSE OF YOUR EXPLOITS .
WOMEN'S CRICKET WILL NOW HAVE THE SAME FOLLOWING AS THEIR MALE COUNTERPARTS IN ALL FORMATS .
Superb narration once again Sir. You actually told what I did. That's watching Men's T20 up to the start of the world cup match. But I didn't saw the final overs of T 20 as the match started before that.
ReplyDeleteGood to watch. But I expected much from Smriti and Kaur. I expected aTon from Shafali also a total above 320.
Anyway we managed 298.
Regarding second innings that first run out gave the brake through. Otherwise things would have gone tough. It gave a boost to our team. Then also a superb partner ship built by SA. Our player vexed, that time came Shafali verma actually to fill some overs. But her magic, mysterious bowling gave her a wickets in second ball of first over and first ball of second over gave I India first hope of winning the match.i I feel Kaur might have utilized SriCharani a long spell. Kaur decided to keep her reserve for death overs is not a bad idea.But when Radha Yadav bowled unnecessary no ball and resulted in 13 Runs in one ball gave tension grief to every one. But finally Amanjoth important catch and Deepthi sharmas extraordinary spell gave India the Delightful Remarkable movement of World cup.
Thank You Sir , we seem to have travelled together in the World Cup Journey at least in watching the Final . I sadly missed the First Run Out as I was watching the T20 for those few minutes .
DeleteWould be delighted if you can identify yourself .
