The upcoming Women’s World Cup 2025 final is set to make history, marking the first time in the tournament’s 52-year history that neither Australia nor England will appear in the final.
Since the inaugural edition in 1973, the ICC Women’s World Cup has been held 12 times, and on every occasion, either England or Australia managed to secure a place in the title clash.
However, the ongoing edition has broken that long-standing tradition. In the first semi-final, South Africa defeated England to reach their first-ever World Cup final, while in the second semi-final, India stunned defending champions Australia to seal their spot in the final.
This sets up a historic showdown between India and South Africa, as the Women’s World Cup witnesses a new era of competition, marking a major shift in the power dynamics of women’s cricket.
