India vs Pakistan Highlights, Women's World Cup 2025: India crush Pakistan by 88 runs, jump to top of standings
India vs Pakistan Live Score, Women's World Cup 2025: India registered a commanding 88-run win over Pakistan in their Women’s World Cup encounter on Sunday. Batting first on a slow pitch, India found momentum hard to come by as several batters struggled to convert starts into meaningful contributions. Openers Pratika Rawal (31) and Smriti Mandhana (23) provided a steady start, while Harleen Deol played a patient 46. Jemimah Rodrigues (32) and Richa Ghosh’s quickfire 35 not out towards the end gave India a total of 247, setting a challenging target for Pakistan.
Chasing 248, Pakistan’s innings quickly fell apart. A top-order collapse left them reeling at 26 for 3 inside the eighth over, placing immense pressure on the middle order. Sidra Amin stood out with a valiant 106-ball 81, supported by Natalia Pervaiz’s 33, but the rest of the lineup failed to capitalise. India’s bowlers applied relentless pressure throughout. Kranti Goud claimed 3/20 and Deepti Sharma 3/45, while Shree Charani’s 2/38 ensured Pakistan couldn’t recover.
The result highlights India’s balanced performance, combining crucial partnerships, disciplined bowling, and effective fielding to dominate their arch-rivals. The 88-run victory also boosts India’s position in the points table, consolidating their status as strong contenders in the tournament.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Harmanpreet Kaur | India captain
"Very happy, important win. Our bowling was great, Kranti was outstanding. Renuka helped her. We created so many chances, dropped some. But win makes us happy. It wasn't easy to bat on, we wanted to bat long and see how much we got. It's been raining and there was a hold on the pitch. We wanted to keep wickets in hand, Richa then gave us 30 crucial runs. Right now, I'm happy we won. Just want to go with the momentum when we go back to India. We know how the pitches there are, hope to work our combinations."

Women's World Cup Live Score: Fatima Sana | Pakistan captain
"I think in starting, in a powerplay, we give a lot of runs, and losing some of runs extra, and in the depth over there as well, we lose some extra runs there. I think when I bowl, it feels like it was seaming, but I think Danny is a little bit confused regarding the seeming or the swing, so I tell her continuously, so I think she will be fine in the next match. (thoughts on the target?) No, I think if we restrict them under 200, so it would be a good total for us as well, but I think we still lose a couple of runs there. I think I still believe that today's batting lineup is good because they are the pure batters in top 5, so I think they need to step up in the batting side. A couple of games haven't gone the way you would like and so much still to go in the tournament. I think you just need to explore yourself because in batting we need long partnerships and just to be in the ground and assess the conditions and adapt the conditions. I think she's a main player in our team and she's very hard working, so Allah help, so hopefully she will be good in the next matches as well."

Women's World Cup Live Score: Kranti Gaud | Player of the Match (10-3-20-3)
"Feeling really good that I'm the Player of the Match in a World Cup match. People in my village would be proud. They've put on a big LED screen to watch the match. Didi (Harman) told me let's remove one slip as the ball has gotten older but I asked her to keep it there (a catch was taken there). My coach just tells me normal things."

India lost their second review too!
That’s a wasted review from India. It was Richa Ghosh who seemed convinced. Full delivery sliding down leg from Renuka Thakur, Sidra Amin leaned forward to flick but missed, with the ball brushing the pad — that was the sound they heard. A fine diving take from Richa to her left, but UltraEdge shows a flat line, and there’s nothing doing for LBW either.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Jemimah Rodrigues after the innings
"To be honest, I had to concentrate a lot more, the bugs were swarming along. The pitch was under covers for 48 hours, there was moisture around and it wasn't coming onto the bat, so I think 247 is a fighting total. I was batting in the middle, so I don't really know (on the decision to keep Richa Ghosh for later), but I think the feeling was to get her in the last 5-6 overs and give her the freedom to play her shots which I think she did superbly today. This is a fighting score, but we'll still have to come out, bowl and field well to win today."

Women's World Cup Live Score: India 247 all out!
Richa Ghosh anchored a vital late surge with a quick 35 as India were bowled out for 247 against Pakistan on a slow pitch in their Women's World Cup clash today.
India struggled for momentum throughout, with batters failing to capitalise on starts, including openers Smriti Mandhana (23) and Pratika Rawal (31), who put on 48 for the first wicket.
After Harmanpreet Kaur fell for 19, Harleen Deol (46) and Jemimah Rodrigues (32) added 45 for the fourth wicket. Senior all-rounders Deepti Sharma (25) and Sneh Rana (20) contributed 42 for the sixth, but it was Richa’s brisk 20-ball knock that injected some late momentum.

Richa Ghosh’s quickfire innings has propelled India to 247.
Not a massive total, on a slow pitch it’s a useful one.
“There’s a lot of moisture on the pitch, which gave it some grip,” Rodrigues said in her mid-innings interview. She struck at a healthy pace, scoring 32, while several other Indian batters posted 20s and 30s, struggling to find rhythm.
Fatima Sana and Diana Baig impressed for Pakistan with their bowling.
