India outplayed Pakistan by 88 runs in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, maintaining their flawless record against their arch-rivals in One Day Internationals. The much-anticipated Ind vs Pak encounter took place at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday, where India’s disciplined bowling attack, led by Kranti Goud’s three-wicket haul, proved decisive.
Chasing 248, Pakistan faltered under pressure and were bowled out for 159 in 43 overs, handing India their 12th consecutive win in Ind vs Pak ODIs.
Pakistan’s innings began poorly, with opener Muneeba Ali run out for just 2 off 12 deliveries. Sadaf Shamas followed soon after, caught and bowled for 6, leaving Pakistan struggling at 20 for 2 in 7.3 overs. Aliya Riaz added only 2 before being dismissed in the 11th over, deepening the crisis for the Green Shirts.
A brief resistance came through Sidra Amin and Natalia Pervaiz, who put together a 69-run partnership that took Pakistan to 95 for 3. However, with the required run rate climbing rapidly, Pervaiz departed, and the innings began to unravel once again.
