India captain Harmanpreet Kaur created an emotional moment by handing the World Cup trophy to legends Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami during the victory lap following India's maiden triumph. The veterans, who represented India for nearly two decades, suffered heartbreaking final defeats in 2005 and 2017. An overwhelmed Mithali could only express gratitude, while Jhulan tearfully embraced Harmanpreet. The captain credited Jhulan as her biggest support during her early career, alongside Anjum Chopra's mentorship. India defeated South Africa by 52 runs in the final, scoring 298-7, with Shafali Verma's 87 and Deepti Sharma's 58 leading the charge against Laura Wolvaardt's valiant century.
