The International Cricket Council (ICC) has revealed the match officials for the final of the Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025.
The summit clash will be played between hosts India and South Africa on Sunday at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
Australia’s Eloise Sheridan and West Indies’ Jacquline Williams will take the responsibilities for on-field umpiring, while Sue Redfern will serve as the Third Umpire.
Both officials have had an active role throughout the group stage, including the semi-final between England and South Africa.
Sheridan also oversaw England’s commanding 10-wicket win over South Africa as well as the Proteas’ victory against Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Williams stood in South Africa’s triumphs against India and Bangladesh and England’s mixed outings against India and Australia.
The Fourth Umpire will be Nimali Perera, and Michelle Pereira will occupy the role of the Match Referee.
For context, both teams will be eyeing their maiden title, a feat they have never achieved in the tournament’s 52-year history.
South Africa have demonstrated outstanding performances throughout the tournament and finished in second spot on the points table. The Proteas women also toppled four-time champions England in the semi-final with a statement win.
On the contrary, India had a topsy-turvy campaign, finishing in fourth position on the table. However, they bounced back in the later part of the tournament. They clinched a memorable win over the seven-time champions, Australia, in the second semi-final of the marquee event.
