New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon congratulated the Indian women's cricket team on their triumph in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025, praising their outstanding performance in the final against South Africa. "I watched the highlights of the game last night against South Africa. I just want to say congratulations to them — they were outstanding, truly world-class, and they deserved to win. We're very proud of them, even though we would have loved New Zealand to win. As long as someone beats Australia, that's all we care about — and that's what you guys do so well," Luxon said.
