What happened:

  • India women's national cricket team defeated South Africa women's national cricket team by 52 runs in the final of the 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup to claim their maiden title. Reuters+2Olympics+2
  • Their achievement is being compared to the men’s team’s iconic 1983 World Cup win — in terms of historic significance for Indian cricket. Reuters+1
  • The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a reward of ₹51 crore for the squad, support staff and selection committee. News on Air+1

Why it matters for your blog:

  • A major milestone for women’s sport in India — not just a cricket victory, but a cultural moment.
  • Offers rich angles: leadership (Harmanpreet Kaur), teamwork, overcoming odds, investment into women’s sport.
  • Use this as the headline story, then link to broader implications (next section).

Suggested angle/title line for this part:
“From underdog to world-champion: How India’s women rewrote the cricket script”

2. The growth challenge: what comes after the trophy

What’s the story:

  • Writers argue that while the World Cup win is huge, the real test is whether India builds sustainably — “if it spends money wisely”. The Guardian
  • The domestic and grassroots pipeline will need to scale if this victory is to signal a long-term shift.

Why it matters for your blog:

  • Adds depth beyond “winning” — your readers will appreciate insight into what happens next.
  • You can spark discussion: will investment follow? Will women’s cricket in India see the same professionalisation as men’s?
  • Good for an analytical or opinion-style part of your blog.

Suggested angle/title line for this part:
“Winning the trophy was only step one — now comes the real work for India’s women’s cricket”

3. Form-revival ahead of the Ashes: Marnus Labuschagne back in punch-mode

What happened:

  • Australian batter Labuschagne says he is in his best batting touch in six years, after racking up five centuries in the domestic season. Reuters
  • He hopes this form puts him in prime shape for the upcoming 2025–26 Ashes series.

Why it matters for your blog:

  • Broadens the scope beyond India / women’s cricket to international men’s cricket — giving your blog wider appeal.
  • Good for a section on “what to watch” in upcoming series or tours.
  • Can tie into themes of comeback, form, preparation — resonates with sports readers.

Top-order failure leaves India in the doldrums

Image
  Kohli was out nicking off once again Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood left India in disarray on the third morning of the Brisbane Test after Australia pushed their total to 445. In a stop-start session affected by frequent drizzles, the visitors were reduced to 22 for 3 with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli sent back to the sheds for single-digit scores. After a third spell of rain delayed the start of India's first innings, Starc accounted for Jaiswal again, this time with his second delivery. The mode of the dismissal though might have yet to be planned for as India's young southpaw flicked a full ball straight to the fielder placed in front of the square. Mitchell Marsh then pulled off a superb catch at Gully as Gill looked to drive Starc without quite getting his balance right while moving forward. Kohli suffered near misses in his short stay as he was beaten on the drive and then hurried by a short ball. His 16-ball stay ended in a rather familiar manne...
