India Women Dominate Pakistan by 88 Runs in Women’s World Cup 2025

Colombo, October 6, 2025 — The India Women’s Cricket Team once again proved their class and composure on the world stage by defeating Pakistan Women by a commanding 88-run margin in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. This victory not only reinforced India’s dominance but also extended their unbeaten 12–0 record in ODIs against Pakistan — a statistic that underscores the gulf between the two sides in women’s cricket.

India’s Batting Brilliance Sets the Tone

Winning the toss and choosing to bat first, India’s top order laid a rock-solid foundation.

Smriti Mandhana, known for her blend of timing and temperament, crafted a delightful 92 off 104 balls, hitting boundaries with precision and grace. At the other end, captain Harmanpreet Kaur showcased maturity with a composed 68, steering the innings through crucial middle overs.

The late flourish came from Richa Ghosh, whose aggressive 41 off just 22 balls added valuable runs, propelling India to a strong 287/7 in 50 overs. The calculated acceleration during the final phase highlighted India’s ability to read conditions and pace the innings intelligently.

Pakistan’s Chase Derails Under Pressure

Chasing 288, Pakistan’s innings never gained traction. Early breakthroughs by Renuka Singh Thakur rattled their top order, setting the tone for India’s disciplined bowling attack. The middle overs were dominated by Deepti Sharma, who used her flight and variation to perfection, returning with 3 wickets for 29 runs.

While Bismah Maroof played a fighting knock of 54 runs, wickets kept tumbling around her. A crucial run-out of Muneeba Ali shifted momentum entirely in India’s favor. Eventually, Pakistan folded for 199 in 45.4 overs, giving India an emphatic 88-run victory.

Harmanpreet Kaur’s Perspective

"Playing Pakistan always brings intensity and emotion," said Harmanpreet Kaur post-match. "We kept things simple — focus on execution and trust each player’s role. Every performance counts in this tournament."

Her leadership continues to balance composure with aggression — a combination that has helped India evolve into one of the most consistent teams in women’s cricket.

What This Win Means for India

This result does more than just extend India’s ODI streak — it sends a strong signal to the rest of the tournament.

• Psychological Advantage: India’s unbeaten record against Pakistan strengthens team morale.

• Momentum Builder: A big win boosts net run rate and sets a positive tone for upcoming matches.

• Balanced Squad: The blend of youth and experience, pace and spin, shows India’s strategic depth.

With this performance, India have positioned themselves as early favorites in the World Cup. Their next fixture against Australia Women will test their consistency but also offers a chance to consolidate their dominance.
