India vs Pakistan Women’s ODI match: For most of the cricket lovers in India, last three Sundays have been all about India vs Pakistan games. In the past month alone, fans have lived through three clashes between the men’s sides in the Asia Cup 2025, with India beating rivals in all matches and eventually claiming a record-extending ninth title. This Sunday should be no different! The stage is now set for women’s cricket. The Indian women’s team will play against Pakistan in the Women’s ODI World Cup on October 5.
The stakes feel higher than ever. The last time India hosted the tournament in 2013, the event barely registered on the sporting radar. Stadiums were half-empty, broadcasts limited and global stars largely anonymous. The transformation is remarkable in the last 13 years. Women’s cricket is now backed by major broadcast deals, packed stadiums, professional T20 leagues and globally recognised icons. The build-up to 2025 carries an anticipation unheard of in the past.
India vs Pakistan Women’s head-to-head stats
India and Pakistan women have met 27 times in international cricket, with India dominating the rivalry by winning 24 matches to Pakistan’s three. In the ODI format, the record is even more one-sided. The two sides have played 11 ODIs so far and India have won all 11. Their most recent meeting came at the 2021 Women’s World Cup, where India registered a good 102-run victory.
For India, captain Harmanpreet Kaur leads a side that is no longer the underdog. With Smriti Mandhana in prime form and a balanced squad overall, India enter the World Cup as genuine contenders. Mandhana is on the cusp of her own milestones – 112 runs shy of 5000 in ODIs and only 72 away from becoming the first batter to reach 1000 runs in a calendar year.
