India will lock horns with South Africa in the 2025 Women's World Cup final at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, November 1. Former India opener Aakash Chopra suggested that Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. should make one change to the playing XI, which registered a stunning win in the 2025 Women's World Cup semi-final against Australia on Thursday, chasing down a record target of 339 runs.
In place of Radha Yadav, Chopra feels that Sneh Rana should be picked as she could provide more depth in the batting department. Both Radha and Rana are spin-bowling all-rounders. While the former bowls left-arm spin, the latter is a crafty off-spinner.
Also, the cricketer-turned-commentator advised India to try their best not to drop catches, something that has been a problem area for them during the campaign. Chopra feels that giving the experienced South African batters reprieves could prove to be very costly.
