"Congratulations to our players, Prime Minister Modi said on social media. This historic win will motivate future champions to take up sports."
"We have been talking about this for many years we've been playing good cricket, but we had to win one big tournament, the batter said. Without that, we couldn't talk about change. At the end of the day, fans and the audience want to see their favourite team win. It's not that we weren't playing good cricket, but we were waiting badly for this moment, and today we got a chance"
India secured its first Women's Cricket World Cup title by beating South Africa by 52 runs at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai before 40,000 fans. The team recovered from three early losses to advance, then produced a record chase to eliminate seven-time champions Australia in the semifinals. The victory followed previous final defeats in 2005 and 2017 and prompted large national celebrations. The government and cricket board rewarded the players, while national media celebrated the achievement. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur described the win as a potential turning point for women's cricket in India.
