The final of the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup between India and South Africa has smashed all previous viewership records, equalling the digital numbers of the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup final and setting a new benchmark for women’s cricket viewership in India.
Viewership Record ON JIOHOTSTAR
According to official statistics, 185 million tuned in to the Women’s World Cup 2025 final match on JioHotstar, matching the peak viewership for the Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 final. The match celebrated the first World Cup win for India while also proving just how much women’s cricket has grown in popularity among Indian audiences.
Additionally, 92 million watched on Connected TV (CTV), a number that matches the CTV viewership of last Sunday’s 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup final and the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup final, both of which India was a part of.
Unparalleled Digital Reach across India
Put together, the 2025 Women’s World Cup reached a total of 446 million in India, more than the cumulative total of the last three editions. This makes it the most-watched women’s sporting event in Indian history and one of the most-streamed cricket tournaments ever.
India vs Pakistan Match Sets Up the Stage
The India-Pakistan group-stage clash on October 5 earlier in the tournament also had set a record as the most-watched women’s international fixture, attracting 28.4 million live viewers. That was an impressive milestone that was soon dwarfed by the unprecedented audience turnout for the final.
