Rain Threat Puts IndiaSouth Africa Women’s ODI World Cup Final at Risk

Forecasts of evening showers over Navi Mumbai have raised the prospect of delays, with match officials preparing for reduced-overs play to secure a result.

Overview

  • India and South Africa are slated to contest the final on November 2 at 3 PM IST at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
  • Maharashtra is under a yellow alert for thunderstorms and light to moderate rain, with AccuWeather projecting about 63% rain chance on Sunday and over 50% during 4–7 PM.
  • A reserve day is available, but rain is also forecast for Monday, and officials are expected to try for a Sunday finish, including a shortened match if conditions allow.
  • Under ICC regulations, an unplayable final after the reserve day would see the trophy shared by the two teams.
  • DY Patil hosted a washout earlier in the tournament, heightening concern as both teams seek their first Women’s ODI World Cup title.
