The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed the match officials for the final of the Women's World Cup 2025 between India and South Africa on Sunday (November 2). The match is set to take place at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Eloise Sheridan and Jacquline Williams will be the on-field umpires for the summit clash.

There will be a lot of pressure on the umpires in this game, with the hosts also involved, but both Eloise and Williams are no strangers to high-pressure situations, having officiated in the recent high-stakes clash between England and South Africa in the first semi-final.

Earlier in the World Cup, Williams was also one of the umpires during the match between India and South Africa that was played in Vizag on October 9. Notably, South Africa pulled off a stunning run chase in that game to beat the hosts.

Sue Redfern will stand as third umpire

Meanwhile, Sue Redfern will stand as the third umpire in the final, while Nimali Perera has been appointed the fourth umpire, with Michelle Pereira being the match referee. The final between India and South Africa is all set to commence at 3 PM IST and either team will win the World Cup for the first time.
