India and Pakistan Women's Teams Clash in Crucial World Cup Showdown

On Sunday, October 5th, 2025, the India and Pakistan women's cricket teams will face off in a crucial match at the ICC World Cup 2025 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The match is scheduled to start at 3 pm IST.

India, currently placed fourth on the points table, is coming off a 59-run DLS win against Sri Lanka in their opening match. The team will be looking to maintain their form and secure a record 12th victory against their arch-rivals, Pakistan.

In the previous match, India chose to bat first and scored 269/8 in 47 overs before rain curtailed the innings. Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, and Amanjot Kaur all contributed to the team's total. Sri Lanka's Inoka Ranaweera was the standout bowler, taking four wickets. India's disciplined bowling performance then helped restrict Sri Lanka to 211 runs, resulting in a comfortable victory for the team.

On the other hand, Pakistan, placed sixth on the points table, suffered a defeat to Bangladesh in their opening match. Their batting lineup collapsed, and they could only manage to score 129 runs. Bangladesh's victory was largely propelled by Rubya Haider's unbeaten half-century.

Taking on the in-form Indian team could prove to be a daunting task for Pakistan, who have never won against their arch-rivals in the Women's World Cup. The match will be broadcast on the Star Sports Network in India, and fans can also watch the live stream on the JioHotstar app and website.
