Pakistan playing XI: Muneeba Ali, Sadaf Shamas, Sidra Amin, Rameen Shamim, Aliya Riaz, Sidra Nawaz(w), Fatima Sana(c), Natalia Pervaiz, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal.
India have one forced change in their playing XI. Amanjot Kaur is out due to illness and Renuka Singh Thakur has replaced her in the side.
India: Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh(w), Sneh Rana, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani, Renuka Singh Thakur.
Harmanpreet Kaur and Fatima Sana continued the ‘no-handshake protocol that has started between the two nations in the recently concluded Men’s Asia Cup 2025. The two captains did the toss, gave their interviews and walked away to their respective dressing rooms. This stretches the hostility between the two teams to the Women’s cricket too.
Pakistan have won the toss and they have opted to field first.
The last time India Women and Pakistan Women played an ODI against each other, it was in the 2022 World Cup.
India batted first in that game and scored 244 runs in their 50 overs. Pooja Vastrakar scored 67 runs and made a valuable contribution lower down the order. Rajeshwari Gayakwad led the bowling of the team picking up four wickets. The effort of the Indian bowlers ensured that Pakistan were bundled out for 137 winning the game by a margin of 107 runs.
The pitch at Colombo has favoured the seamers with the new ball. The same could be expected here and hence the captain winning the toss might look to field first.
After losing the first match against Bangladesh, the Pakistan team are in a precarious position. However, a defeat would not mean elimination as they will have five more game to revive their campaign and get back in the hunt.
“India -Pakistan clases are always intense. We have grown up watching India-Pakistan games and always wanted to be a part of them. We always talk about treating it as any other game and staying focused,” Harmanpreet Said in a pre-match interview on JioHostar.
Pakistan definitely have the players to topple their arch-rivals in this game. They will bank on players like Sidra Ameen, Aliya Riaz, Fatima Sana, and Diana Baig to see them through in this match. However, the odds are stacked agianst them and so is the history. The Pakistan players will have to play their best game to emerge on the right side tonight.
Pakistan Probable XI: Muneeba Ali, Omaima Sohail, Sidra Ameen, Aliya Riaz, Natalia Pervaiz, Fatima Sana (c), Sidra Nawaz (wk), Rameen Shamim, Nashra Sandhu, Diana Baig, Sadia Iqbal
India Probable XI: Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Amanjot Kaur, Sneh Rana, Kranti Goud, Renuka Singh Thakur
There has been quite a bit or rain around. The Sri Lanka vs Australia match got abandoned due to rain. There are forecasts of rain throughout the duration of this game too. So, what happens if the India vs Pakistan clash too gets abandoned.
The two teams share one point each as there is no reserve day for the game. India move to the second spot in the points table with three points under their belt, Pakistan retain their position at the sixth spot.
Pakistan played Bangladesh in their first match of the tournament. Fatima Sana won the toss and opted to bat first. Marufa Akter struck early and shocked the Pakistan line-up. Her spell put the Pakistan batting in a trance from which they failed to recover. The Bangladesh bowlers gradually put them in a stranglehold and bundled them out for just 129 runs in the 39th over of the innings.
The chase was primarily shouldered by Bangladesh opener, Rubaya Haider. She scored 54 runs off 77 deliveries and kept one end steady for his team. It was her effort that ensured that Bangladesh did not suffer more than the loss of there wickets and went past the target in 32nd over with seven wickets in hand.
In their opening game against Sri Lanka, India were put to bat after Sri Lanka won the toss. After a more or less steady start India suffered a mini-collapse, where they lost four wickets while adding just four runs to the total.
With India looking down the barrel at 124/6, Deepti Sharma took the onus on herself to propel the team towards a respectable total. Her 53 off 53 was the foundation on which Amanjot Kaur based her fine knock of 57 runs off 56 deliveries. The duo’s effort heloed India put a fighting total of 269 runs on the board at the end of their allotted 47 overs.
In the chase, Sri Lanka posed a threat to the Indian team with the skipper Chamari Athapaththu laying the foundation. However, the fall of the captain took away the resilience from the chase. Nilakshi de Silva tried hard as she scored 35 runs off 29 deliveries, but it was not enough to take Sri Lanka close to the target. In the end, they were bundled out for 211 runs in the 46th over, as India sealed the match by 59 runs (DLS method).
After the all-round show India stand aty fourth spot on the points table with a net run rate of +1.255. They will look to improve on their performance against Pakistan and climb up the ladder in the table.
This is the fourth India-Pakistan cricketing clash in the last three weeks. The men’s teams faced each other three times in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2025. All three of those matches were won by the Indian team led by Suryakumar Yadav. Harmanpreet Kaur and her girls have now got the chance of winning this game and making it 4-0 against Pakistan in a span of just three weeks.
India’s opener and star batter, Smriti Mandhana has been in prime form in the ODIs this year. During the series against Australia, she looked in prime touch and gave the team good starts to build on. Mandhana also scored his 12th century of her ODI career in the series, the third for her this year. She achieved the unique feat of scoring three ODI centuries in a year twice. However, in the first match against Sri Lanka, the southpaw failed to replicate her form. Mandhana will be eager to mend that quickly and play a crucial role against India’s arch-rivals.
