A cracking contest is on the cards as India take on Pakistan in the sixth match of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025. The R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is set to witness the arch-rivals' much-awaited showdown and this clash must not be missed at all! For cricket fans, it is a fourth Sunday in a row that an India vs Pakistan match will be on, with the men's team having competed on the last three Sundays, all of which were in the Asia Cup 2025 tournament. Needless to say, the intensity is set to be sky-high and both teams will look to put their best foot forward in a bid to come out on top.

India and Pakistan have had contrasting starts in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025. Being one of the host nations, India took on co-hosts Sri Lanka in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 opener in Guwahati, a contest that was shortened because of rain. India suffered a batting collapse of sorts before a 103-run partnership between Amanjot Kaur (57) and Deepti Sharma (53) resurrected the innings and took the team to a respectable 269/8 from being 124/6 at one stage. The bowlers then backed up that effort, bowling out Sri Lanka for 211 with Deepti Sharma taking three wickets. ‘Mauka Mauka’ Makes A Comeback Ahead of IND vs PAK ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 Match But With Asia Cup and ‘Operation’ Twist (Watch Video).

Pakistan, much like India, stuttered with the bat, but the difference was that they did not have anyone stand up and make an impact. Fatima Sana and her team crumbled to just 129 all out against Bangladesh before Nigar Sultana and her side chased down the target in 31.1 overs, without much difficulty. On paper and on form, India are outright favourites to win the IND-W vs PAK-W ICC Women's World Cup 2025 match, but cricket is an unexpected game and nothing is decided unless the final ball is bowled in a match. It is also important that the no-handshake policy that the India and Pakistan men's teams followed at the Asia Cup 2025 is set to continue in the IND-W vs PAK-W ICC Women's World Cup 2025 as well. Snake Appears at India Women's National Cricket Team Training Session in Colombo Ahead of IND-W vs PAK-W ICC Women's World Cup 2025: Report.
