Congratulations Message from Odisha Society of UK CIC, Bali Jatra Organising Committee, and India Creates History — A New Era for Women’s Cricket

What a spectacular night at DY Patil Stadium! The India Women’s Cricket Team has made history by not only lifting the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 but also by marking a revolutionary moment for gender equality and equal pay in cricket.

With a commanding total of 298/7, Team India displayed extraordinary skill and composure. Shafali Verma’s explosive 87 runs and key wickets, along with Deepti Sharma’s outstanding all-round performance (58 runs and 5 wickets), led the way brilliantly.

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s stunning match-winning catch symbolized the grit and brilliance of Indian women’s cricket. This victory goes beyond just winning the trophy; it inspires millions and proves that women’s cricket shines as brightly as ever.

Congratulations to Team India — Champions of Equality, Spirit, and Excellence!
