India women vs pakistan women: In the ICC Vimas World Cup 2025, Team India also defeated Pakistan while continuing its success. In this match played in Colombo, the Indian team captained by Harmanpreet Kaur defeated Pakistan by 88 runs with the help of their strong bowling. With this, the Indian team made a great start by winning both their matches in the World Cup. The victory in this match of Team India seemed to be fixed, but despite this result, what was seen during the match, it is going to increase the concern. Team India made such mistakes, which will overshadow him against a strong team.
When will the batsman score?
Like the previous match, this time also the top order of the Indian team did not appear in color. Especially the vice-captain Smriti Mandhana and captain Harmanpreet Kaur did not walk, was more disturbing. Mandhana, which is running continuously before the tournament started, has been scoring 8 and 23 so far. At the same time, Pratika Rawal (31) and Harleen Deol (46) could not change their debut into a big score. In the second consecutive match, no batsman could score a half-century in the top-5. In such a situation, if the situation remains the same against the team like South Africa, Australia or England, then it would be dishonest to expect a victory.
Defeated with such fielding
Team India’s bowling was as good, he did not get that much in the fielding. Although Deepti Sharma and Harmanpreet Kaur did 2 runs out on the basis of accurate throw, but apart from these, the ground fielding and catches of Team India was not good. Wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh dripped 2 easy catches, due to which at one time Sidara Amin and Natalia Parvez shared 69 runs and gave tension to Team India. At the same time, a catch shricharani also left on his ball. Apart from this, on some occasions, the Indian team also gave additional runs due to missfielding. These mistakes of fielding can cause further harm to the team.
It is not prudent to waste DRS
The third mistake made in the case of DRS, where Captain Kaur took the wrong decisions continuously. He did not get good support from wicketkeeper Richa in this case. The review was taken against the umpire’s decision on the very first ball of the Pakistani innings, while it was clear that the ball was going out of the leg stump. But after this, when the umpire LBW’s appeal was rejected on 3 consecutive occasions, the Indian team did not take a review. On these three occasions, the ball seemed to be directly on the stump. After some time, when he took a review again, it proved to be a very bad decision once again. This time the ball was not close to the bat and a review was taken on the appeal of the catch. In this way, Team India spoiled both their reviews and also lost the occasions.
