IND vs PAK Women’s ODI Match: The 6th ODI of the tournament between India Women and Pakistan Women will be played today, October 5, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The game will begin at 3:00 PM IST, with the toss scheduled at 2:30 PM.
India Women made a fantastic start to their campaign by defeating Sri Lanka Women by 59 runs in their opening match. After setting a target of 269 runs, they successfully defended it. Amanjot Kaur stood out with a fine knock of 57 runs off 56 balls, anchoring India’s innings in the middle order.
Pakistan Women, on the other hand, had a tough start as they lost their first match against Bangladesh Women by 7 wickets. Batting first, Pakistan could score only 129 runs, which Bangladesh comfortably chased down in just 31 overs. Their batting collapse remains a concern going into this high-pressure clash against India.

India vs Pakistan Women: Weather and pitch report
Rain is expected in the morning hours, but it should ease by the time play begins. However, overcast conditions may persist throughout the day, bringing the possibility of intermittent rain breaks.
The pitch at R. Premadasa Stadium is known for its balance early on but tends to slow down as the match progresses. The black-soil surface helps spinners later in the game, offering both grip and turn. Teams batting first have a slight advantage, with the average first innings score ranging between 216 and 240. A total above 250 will be difficult to chase, making the middle-overs spin battle a key factor in the match.
