India vs Pakistan LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025: Harmanpreet falls for 19 after India cross 100 at halfway stage

IND vs PAK Women’s World Cup 2025 LIVE Score: Only a week later after the controversial Asia Cup 2025 final, we have the Indian women’s cricket team taking on Pakistan in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 on Sunday (5 October). The India vs Pakistan Women’s World Cup 2025 match will be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

Harmanpreet Kaur’s India are the firm favourites going into the World Cup match against Pakistan. India have never lost an ODI against Pakistan, winning all 11 matches so far in women’s cricket. They also won their opening match against Sri Lanka by 59 runs on 30 September.

Pak face daunting task vs India, but rain may provide help

Pakistan started their World Cup campaign with a seven-wicket loss to Bangladesh in Colombo and they would need to up their game by multiple notches to challenge India. They, however, would hope for some support from the weather gods.

The Australia vs Sri Lanka match at Colombo on Saturday was washed out. And there are high chances of rain during the India vs Pakistan game in Colombo. The predictions, however, don’t indicate a complete washout, but rain can change the complexion of the match to an extent if Pakistan are lucky.

India have an opportunity to top the points table with a win against Pakistan. Currently, they are in fourth with two points from one match, while Pakistan are yet to open their account. The top four sides from the eight-team points table would qualify for the semi-finals.

Having never won the tournament, India is hoping to win their first Women’s World Cup as hosts. They have been forced to play against Pakistan in a neutral country as per the agreement reached between the cricketing boards for ICC events.

The ICC, BCCI and PCB agreed before the Champions Trophy 2025 that both teams would play at neutral venues during ICC events hosted by either of them till 2026.
