India vs Pakistan Highlights, Women's World Cup 2025: India crush Pakistan by 88 runs

"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."

No handshakes on show as India record a second consecutive win, leaving Pakistan with back-to-back defeats. The tone was set by India's opening bowlers - Renuka Thakur and Kranti Gaud swung and seamed the ball both ways, leaving the Pakistani openers clueless. Renuka bowled a brilliant 8-over opening spell, keeping Pakistan always behind the rate in the first 15 overs. Sidra Amin batted superbly, continuing her fine form from the South Africa series and finding the boundaries, while her partnership with Natalia Pervaiz offered Pakistan some hope. But once that stand was broken, India pressed home the advantage, and Amin’s wicket sealed Pakistan's fate.

It's all over! Deepti Sharma removes Sadia Iqbal as India register an easy 88-run victory over Pakistan. India extend their unbeaten streak vs Pakistan to 12-0. 5-0 in World Cups too

OUT! Deepti Sharma cleans up Rameen Shamim for her second wicket. It's tossed up full on leg-stump by Deepti, Shamim gets low to paddle, misses and the ball finds the leg-stump. PAKW 146/7 in 38.3 overs

OUT! Caught&Bowled! A juicy low full-toss and Sidra Nawaz comes down the track to hit it straight back into Sneh Rana's hands. PAKW 143/6 in 38 overs

OUT! Bowling change does the trick immediately for India. The partnership between Sidra Amin and Natalia Pervaiz is finally broken. Kranti Gaud strikes first ball of her second spell for third wicket. Natalia Pervaiz tries launching it down the ground, gets a thick outside edge and (sub) Radha Yadav takes a simple catch at backward point. PAKW 95/4 in 27.1 overs

Sidra Amin and Natalia Pervaiz put on an unbeaten 58-run partnership to revive Pakistan's chase after they were reduced to 26/3 in 11.1 overs. However, the asking rate continues to climb, keeping the match tilted in India's favour. PAKW 84/3 in 25 overs, need 164 runs in 25 overs

Set a challenging target of 248 by India, Pakistan were in trouble at 57 for three after 20 overs. Sidra Amin and Natalia Pervaiz were batting on 26 and 14 respectively. Muneeba Ali was run out by Deepti Sharma, seamer Kranti Gaud had Sadaf Shamas caught off her own bowling to leave them at 20/2 in the eighth over and make their task far more difficult than what it was at the beginning of their innings. Gaud, then, dismissed Aliya Riaz to compound Pakistan's problems as they now need 191 runs in 30 overs.

SIX! Sidra Amin charges down the pitch, meets the ball perfectly, lofting it over long-on - it just clears the fence for a six off Sneh Rana. PAKW 45/3 in 17.3 overs

FOUR! Welcome runs for Pakistan as Natalia Pervaiz breaks the shackles. She comes down the track and lofts Sneh Rana straight down the ground for four. PAKW 34/3 in 15.3 overs
