Women's ODI World Cup full schedule: India vs Pakistan on 5 October in Colombo

The Indian women’s cricket team will be travelling to Colombo for their women’s ODI World Cup match against Pakistan on 5 October. The India vs Pakistan match will be played at a neutral venue – R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo – despite the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) being the host as India, Pakistan and the International Cricket Council (ICC) have agreed to a hybrid model for ICC events till 2027 .

The hybrid model arrangement was agreed before the Champions Trophy 2025, due to which the Indian men’s cricket team was allowed to play its matches in Dubai instead of travelling to Pakistan.
