India and Pakistan are set to renew their rivalry in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 today in Colombo. After a hard-fought win over co-hosts Sri Lanka in their opening match, Harmanpreet Kaur-led India will aim to build momentum and secure back-to-back victories in the group stage.
Despite a mid-innings collapse in their first game, India’s lower-order resilience ensured two crucial points from the opener in Guwahati. Meanwhile, Fatima Sana’s Pakistan will look to bounce back after suffering a defeat to Bangladesh in a sluggish encounter at the same venue three days ago.
With rain looming large over Colombo skies — which already washed out the previous fixture between Australia and Sri Lanka — both sides will be keeping a close eye on weather conditions as they prepare for the high-stakes clash.
