Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 : The thrill of the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 is over and the cricketing world has got a new world champion. India Women’s team defeated South Africa Women’s team by 52 runs in the final match of Women’s ODI World Cup played in Navi Mumbai on November 2nd to clinch the title. There have been many incidents throughout this tournament. In which the batsmen sometimes prevailed over the bowlers and sometimes the bowlers tied the batsmen. Sometimes the catch was missed and sometimes we managed to capture an amazing catch. Also disappointed by DRS. Now we are going to get the information according to the statistics of the entire competition.

Most runs scored in ODI World Cup..

The 2025 edition has seen an unprecedented number of batsmen in the women’s game. A total of more than 11,275 runs have been scored in this tournament. Which is one more figure than the previous version. There have also been 15 individual centuries in the tournament. Which is more than 14 centuries in 2017. 21 batsmen have crossed 200 runs in this tournament, 20 of them have scored more than 75 runs, which is considered a huge leap in terms of runs.

Runrate vs Economy Rate

Only the teams with the best difference in batting runs and bowling economy rate could make it to the semi-finals. Australia topped the table with a best odds of +1.10. It is followed by South Africa (0.63), India (0.52) and England (0.06).

A six-hit streak ensued

There seems to have been a bit of a revolution in power hitting in women’s cricket in the last two World Cups. So 2025 proved it. A record 133 sixes were hit in this tournament. Which is 22 more than 111 sixes in 2017. The ball-per-boundary ratio (9.8) remained below ten in this edition. For the first time, the total crossed the five-run mark in an edition. Which ended at 5.14. No other bowler has had a greater influence in this World Cup than the left-arm spinners. He gave the lowest ball-to-wicket ratio across all forms of bowling – 29.99, about four balls lower than the next best, which was right-arm legspin. Left-arm spinners have taken the most wickets in one edition, 110, 33 more than the record held in 1982.

A brilliant lower-order comeback

While the tournament has seen the dominance of the top-order, the flexibility of the lower order has also been evident. The last five wickets in 2025 averaged 20.1 runs, the best figure in a Women’s ODI World Cup, and yielded 5.3 runs per over. Statistics show that almost 100 runs were scored in 19 overs.

Volwardt and Deepti maintained dominance

South Africa captain Laura Wohlwardt scored 571 runs in the tournament, the most by any batsman in the Women’s ODI edition of the World Cup, and now has a record 336 runs in a World Cup knockout. Meanwhile, Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma has become the first woman to take 200+ runs and 20+ wickets in an ODI.

Less catch percentage

Dropped catches continue to plague teams throughout the tournament. Almost one out of every three chances was missed. Its catch efficiency was 67.3%, down from 72.9% in 2022. England (76.9%) and New Zealand (75%) fielded the sharpest. Bangladesh (44.4%), India (63.3%), South Africa and Australia (both 66.7%) remained at the other end.

Disappointing performance by DRS

If DRS is meant to bring clarity to the game, it has disappointed many teams. On average, teams manage to achieve one successful review every three attempts. India took the lead for the wrong reasons and 11 out of 15 DRS failed. After Australia (6/10) only Bangladesh have achieved 80% success rate in five reviews, no other team has crossed 45%.
