Mandhana scored 45 runs and raised 104 runs for the opening stand before being dismissed, but Shafali Verma (87) and Deepti Sharma\u2019s knocks helped the side set the South Africans a target of 299 runs to chase. Deepti Sharma, the spin-bowling all-rounder, picked up a five-wicket haul (5-39) as India bundled out South Africa for 246 and lifted the Women\u2019s World Cup trophy, making India only the fourth nation to win the Women's ODI World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mandhana, speaking to the broadcasters after the historic victory, revealed that it felt good to get the feeling of victory after multiple heartbreaks in the past.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cEvery World Cup we\u2019ve gone into, there have been so many heartbreaks for all of us. However, we always believed that we had a greater responsibility - not just to win, but to continue growing women\u2019s cricket. And honestly, just look at the support we\u2019ve had over the last month and a half. It\u2019s been incredible. To finally lift the World Cup today - I\u2019ll take those 45 sleepless nights any day for this moment. That last World Cup was definitely tough for all of us to take. But after that, we had a clear focus - to get fitter, stronger, and better in every area,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
