[WATCH] ICC shares special video of best spin and pace deliveries during Women’s World Cup 2025
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has shared a special video of the best deliveries of spin and pace from the one-month long Women's World Cup 2025 in India and Sri Lanka as the spinners bamboozled the batters.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has shared a special video on the best spinning and pace deliveries of the recently concluded Women’s World Cup 2025 in India and Sri Lanka, where the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side lifted their maiden title of the format, having beaten South Africa in the final at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
In the video, the first member is Sri Lanka’s left-arm spinner, Inoka Ranaweera, whose left-arm bowler bamboozled the right-handed batter of India, Jemimah Rodrigues, who went for the spin but the ball held its line to break the middle stump of the batter. The second member of the list was New Zealand’s Melie Kerr against Australia’s left-handed batter, Phoebe Litchefield.
Kerr’s delivery pitched outside the leg stump of the southpaw and beat the batter’s edge to hit the off-stump. The third ball of the list was Bangladesh’s Marufa Akter against Pakistan’s Omaima Sohail, as the ball jagged back with the swing to breach the defense of the batter and break the top of the off-stump.

England’s Linsey Smith was up against South Africa’s Marizanne Kapp, who looked to defend the left-arm spinner. But the ball went through the defense of the batter with the angle and broke the stumps. The best ball perhaps came from Nonkululeko Mlaba against India’s Harleen Deol, who looked to tuck the leg-side ball for a single, but the ball spun hugely to miss the batter’s outside edge and hit the stumps.
India’s first member of the list was Sneh Rana, as Protea batter Kapp used her feet to get a single. But he was yorked as the Blue Brigade got a fine breakthrough in the defense. Bangladesh’s Rabeya Khan also baffled the White Ferns’ Melie Kerr, who was beaten on the pace to get bowled.
Pakistan’s Nashra Sandhu also went through the defense of Annabel Sutherland from Australia. The right-handed batter couldn’t understand the pace of the ball. Masabata Klass was another pacer of the South Africa side who broke the stumps of Sri Lanka’s Hasini Perera.
