Jamaican umpire Jacquline Williams has been chosen to stand in the final of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 between India and South Africa.
She will be joined in the middle by Eloise Sheridan in the big event on Sunday at DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, where both nations are bidding to become champions for the first time.
Williams also umpired the group game between the two finalists on October 9, which South Africa won after a brilliant run chase.
Sue Redfern is in place as Third Umpire, Nimali Perera is Fourth Umpire and Michell Pereira is the Match Referee.
Williams, aged 46, hails from Westmoreland in Jamaica. She will become the second West Indian umpire to stand in the Women’s World Cup final. The first was Barbadian Gregory Brathwaite at Lords when England beat India back in 2017. (PS)
