South Africa won the toss and opted to bowl first in the all-important final. This is the 13th edition of the World Cup, and with South Africa and India playing, the tournament is set to get its new champion. Australia have won seven World Cups, whereas England have won four. The tournament started in 1973, and interestingly, the 13th edition of the ICC Women's World Cup is the first occasion where neither Australia nor England are playing the summit clash of the multi-nation tournament.

This is also the first time that a new champion will be crowned in the Women's ODI World Cup. The last time a new champion was crowned was back in 2005, when New Zealand won the title.
