IND-W vs PAK-W: India Women thumps Pakistan Women in their ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 clash
After losing the toss and being asked to bat first, the India Women got off to a fine start at the top as their openers, Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal stitched an impressive partnership of 48 runs. However, both these opening batters failed to convert their starts into big scores and moreover, it was another failure for the Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur who scored just 19 runs off 34 balls. Harleen Deol looked in a superb touch scoring 46 runs off 65 deliveries that included 4 fours and 1 six.
The trio of Jemimah Rodrigues, Sneh Rana and Deepti Sharma contributed with some exciting cameos to keep the scorecard ticking in the middle-overs. However, it was a quick-fire unbeaten knock of 35 runs off 20 balls from Richa Ghosh that helped India Women reach a fighting total of 247 runs in their quota of 50 overs. For Pakistan Women, Diana Baig bowled really well picking a total of four wickets while the duo of Sadia Iqbal and Fatima Sana ended up taking two wickets each.
In reply, the Pakistan Women's team got off to a horrendouss start losing both of their openers, Muneeba Ali and Sadaf Shamas with just 20 runs on the scoreboard. Pakistan continued their collapse as they lost wickets at consistent intervals and got reduced to 102 for 5 after 30.5 overs. However, Sidra Amin batted wonderfully during her amazing innings of 81 runs off 106 balls that included 9 fours and 1 six.
The required run-rate kept on rising and Pakistan were no way near the finishing line. Indian bowlers continued to hunt in pairs as Pakistan Women got bowled out for 159 runs in 43 overs. For India Women, the duo of Kranti Gaud and Deepti Sharma picked up three wickets each. With this sensational win, the Indian Women's team have now claimed the top position on the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 points table.
Another big victory for the India Women's team. ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ช
