IND W Vs PAK W, ICC Women's World Cup 2025, Live Streaming: When & Where To Watch The Blockbuster Encounter In India

The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 features a highly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan on Sunday, October 5, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, with the match scheduled to start at 3:00 PM IST. Despite heightened diplomatic tensions surrounding the encounter, India enters as a strong favorite.

Team India comes into the match with confidence after a solid 59-run victory over Sri Lanka in their opening game. However, concerns remain over the stability of the middle order, as India experienced a collapse from 120/3 to 124/6 in the previous match. Key partnerships from Amanjot Kaur and Deepti Sharma helped stabilize the innings, showcasing the team’s depth and resilience.

Pakistan, on the other hand, faces a tough challenge after a 7-wicket loss to Bangladesh in their opener. The team will aim to regroup and mount a competitive challenge against their more experienced neighbors.

The pitch at R. Premadasa Stadium is expected to offer early swing, with a slow outfield due to recent rainfall. Winning the toss and opting to chase could provide a tactical advantage. India’s depth in both batting and bowling makes them clear favorites, while Pakistan will need exceptional performances to challenge the dominant side.
