ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025: India and Pakistan will renew their spiced-up rivalry at the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 on Sunday, Oct. 5. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led India will face Pakistan captain Fatima Sana and her team at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
While India defeated Sri Lanka by 59 runs (DLS method) in the rain-marred first game of the World Cup, Pakistan suffered a disappointing loss at the hands of darkhorse Bangladesh, going down by seven wickets. India have kicked off their campaign as firm favourites, and it will be interesting to see their performance against Pakistan. It must be noted that India have played Pakistan in 11 previous women's One-Day Internationals and won all of them.

No Handshake Policy For Women In Blue
Following the precedent set by the Indian men's cricket team during the Asia Cup in Dubai, Harmanpreet Kaur and her side will also not engage in customary handshakes with Pakistan players during their Women's World Cup clash.
With Indo-Pak cricketing ties at their lowest ebb, tensions escalated further after Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi refused to hand over the winner's trophy to Suryakumar Yadav in Dubai.
The Indian men's team had already declined to accept the trophy from a Pakistan representative.
"The BCCI is aligned with the government and there will be no customary handshake at the toss, no photo shoot with the match referee, and no end-of-game handshakes. The policy followed by the men will also be implemented by the women," a senior BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
