Women's World Cup final start time & how to follow

India and South Africa are the two finalists at the 2025 Women's World Cup

After a month of action, the Women's World Cup has reached the final.

Co-hosts India will face South Africa - which means there will be a new name on the trophy as neither side have yet been one-day world champions.

Here's everything you need to know.

What happened in the semi-finals?

India pulled off the highest successful run chase in the history of women's one-day internationals to beat Australia and reach the final, with Jemimah Rodrigues posting a superb unbeaten 127 as they reached their target of 339.

South Africa thrashed England in their semi-final with captain Laura Wolvaardt scoring a remarkable 169 as her side posted 319-7 before bowling their opponents out for 194.

It means the teams who finished first and second in the competition's group stage are not in the final.
