The stage is set for one of the most anticipated clashes in women’s cricket – India vs Pakistan. On October 5, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Team India will lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in their second match of the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025.
India has already made a flying start to their campaign, and now all eyes are on Harmanpreet Kaur’s side as they aim to extend their perfect record against Pakistan in ODIs – a remarkable 11-0 lead in head-to-head history.
India’s Dominance Over Pakistan in Women’s ODIs
Historically, Pakistan has never beaten India in the 50-over format. The two sides have clashed 11 times, and India has emerged victorious in all encounters. The last meeting between the two came in 2022, where India registered a thumping 107-run win, once again asserting their dominance in women’s cricket.
This time around, Harmanpreet Kaur and her team will aim for a 12-0 clean sheet, continuing their winning streak and strengthening their position in the tournament.
A Strong Start to the World Cup
India kicked off their 2025 World Cup campaign with a solid 59-run win over Sri Lanka. Batting first, India put up 269/8 in 48 overs, thanks to impressive performances from Amanjot Kaur (57) and Deepti Sharma (50). But Deepti didn’t stop there – she shone with the ball too, picking up 3 key wickets and playing a crucial role in bundling out Sri Lanka for 211 runs.
What’s at Stake
With confidence high and momentum on their side, India will look to carry their form into this high-pressure match. For Pakistan, it’s not just about breaking the streak – it’s about proving they can challenge one of the strongest sides in the women’s game.
But as things stand, Harmanpreet’s army looks well-poised to script another chapter in their unbeaten legacy against Pakistan.
