But having said that, what were the other phenomenal bowling talents like in the 2025 ODI world cup and what became of them? What is going to be some of the greatest stats pertaining to the women's ODI world cup 2025 bowlers that will spellbind fans for times to come. Hey, worry not, for we got it covered fir you right here:
Deepti Sharma- 22 wickets
Deepti Sharma bowled a legendary spell in a legendary campaign in which the odds were often against her team but her great bowling spells, especially marked by the game-changing effort in the big final where it mattered ever so much, helped India to a fantastic world cup title. A fifer and that too, against Laura Wolvaardt's Proteas was also supported by the all rounder in her that fired a useful 58. Let that not be forgotten.
Annabel Sutherland- 17 wickets
The great fast bowling all rounder and one who, lest it is forgotten, has a Ashes double ton in Tests to her name, struck it big with 17 wickets in the recent World Cup. Fundamentally, the ever committed Aussie took 17 of her 60 wickets in this very tournament where it comes to ODI's.
Sophie Ecclestone- 16 wickets
Always hard to pick, let alone easy to score off from, Ecclestone excelled much like her true self and captured 16 wickets in a tournament where not an awful lot went right for her England.
Nallapureddy Shree Charani- 14 wickets
India's young and committed spinner aced the big World Cup stage by bagging 14 key and important wickets. Her ability to surprise the batters and put a tight lid on the scoring only further assisted a team that's so often been about its marvellous batters.
Alana King- 13 wickets
Someone who bowls and did bowl on this particular occasion as well like her surname, King captured 13 wickets and made her country proud in a tournament where Australia were finally shown the mirror in that there was someone else who claimed the 'powerful' tag. Alana King's bowling, marvellous and meticulous as always, did help her side but maybe none of that or for that matter Ash Gardner's all round genius, as well, was ever going to be enough.
