As expected, there were no handshakes between the two captains.

It's Toss Time!

India Women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur and her Pakistani counterpart Fatima Sana are gearing up for the toss.

Handshakes will likely be skipped, in tune with what transpired during the Asia Cup matches.

No Sign Of Rain, Yet

There were fears of a washout heading into this game. But while clouds linger, the stadium has not witnessed any sign of rain heading into the toss.

It's Match Time!

The Women in Blue have stepped on to the pitch in Colombo, determined to continue their dominance over Pakistan.

All eyes will be on Smriti Mandhana, who will be looking to bounce back to form after a rocky start in the first game.

Another Day Of Dominance For India?

In an Asia Cup campaign that saw India beat Pakistan thrice, the women's team enjoy a similar dominance over their Pakistani counterparts, having won a staggering 11 matches in a row in One-Day Internationals (ODIs).
