The stage is set for a historic finale as India take on South Africa in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 final at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, November 2. Both teams are eyeing their first-ever ODI World Cup title, but weather conditions could play a role in the outcome of the biggest match in women’s cricket this year.
Match Details
Fixture: India Women vs South Africa Women, ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 Final
Date: Sunday, November 2, 2025
Venue: DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai
Start Time: 3 PM IST
Navi Mumbai Weather Forecast
According to AccuWeather, rain remains a real threat to the final:
-
63% chance of rain during the day
-
40% chance of rain in the evening
-
Thunderstorm probability: 13% (day), 8% (night)
-
Temperature Range: 32°C (max) to 25°C (min)
-
Conditions: Humid, cloudy, with possible passing showers in the afternoon
While showers are expected, a complete washout is unlikely. However, a rain-curtailed final cannot be ruled out, meaning overs could be reduced depending on weather interruptions.
This venue already experienced a washout in the tournament — India’s group stage match vs Bangladesh — raising fan concerns ahead of this marquee fixture.
What if rain washes out the Women’s World Cup final?
If rain does not allow play on Sunday, the ICC has scheduled a reserve day on Monday, November 3. However, the forecast for Monday also shows a 55% chance of rain, meaning conditions could remain tricky.
Crucially, the final must produce a result, and a reserve day ensures that every effort will be made to complete the match.
