Team India scripted history under the lights of DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai, by clinching their maiden ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup title on November 2, 2025. Throughout the tournament, large crowds turned up to support the home team, and some special performances, both with bat and ball, were witnessed.
On and off the field, several outstanding and fascinating numbers were achieved. Here are some of the most significant ones:
1 – India Women lifted their maiden ODI World Cup title and became only the fourth nation, after Australia, England, and New Zealand, to win this trophy.
25,965 – This was the number of fans in attendance when India took on Bangladesh in Navi Mumbai. Despite being a less significant game with India already through to the semi-finals, 25,965 people came, setting a new record for the highest league-stage attendance at any ICC women’s event. It surpassed the previous best of 25,166 recorded during the India vs New Zealand match at the same venue earlier in the tournament.
571 – South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt scored 571 runs, the most by any batter in a single edition of this competition. She now has 1,328 runs in 24 innings overall at an average of 63.23, at the second spot and surpassed the former India skipper Mithali Raj (1,321 runs in 36 innings).
434 – Smriti Mandhana was India’s highest run-scorer this edition with 434 runs. It is also the most runs scored by an Indian in a single World Cup, surpassing Mithali Raj’s 409 in nine innings in 2017.
127* – Jemimah Rodrigues’ unbeaten 127 in the semi-final against Australia sealed a historic win for India. It was the second-highest individual score by an Indian batter in the tournament’s history.
12 – India’s Richa Ghosh smashed 12 sixes in this edition, the joint-most in a single edition, alongside West Indies’ Deandra Dottin (2013) and South Africa’s Lizelle Lee (2017).
