IND-W vs PAK-W, World Cup 2025: Richa, Kranti, Deepti shine as India win by 88 runs against Pakistan

India once again proved why their clashes against Pakistan have never quite been a rivalry in women’s cricket, sealing a commanding 88-run victory in the Women’s World Cup match on Sunday, October 5, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. With this win, India extended their head-to-head record over Pakistan to a staggering 12-0 since their first meeting in



2005.

It also marked the fourth consecutive Sunday that an Indian team has defeated Pakistan across formats — following the men’s side’s triumph in the Asia Cup. The win helped India reclaim the top spot on the points table with four points and a net run rate of +1.505. Despite not being at their best with the bat and in the field, India were clinical enough to comfortably overpower Pakistan.
