The India Women’s Cricket team continued their unbeaten run in the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup after thrashing arch-rivals Pakistan at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday (October 6) by a huge margin of 88 runs. Although the tournament co-hosts were far from their best, the Women in Green were no match for them. “Standards and rivalry are the same According to me, if two teams play 15-20 matches and if [head-to-head] it is 7-7 or 8-7, then that is called a rivalry. But 13-0, 10-1….I don’t know what the stats are. But this is not a rivalry anymore. But yeah, I feel we played better cricket than them. “If you talk about rivalry, it’s when two teams play 12 games and the score is 6-6 or 7-5. But 11-0 is not a rivalry. Pakistan hasn’t been able to beat us in recent times, in men’s or women’s cricket If the women focus completely on their game, I’m sure they can make it 12-0,” said Suryakumar Yadav in an interaction with Star Sports before the match. The comments were similar to those the India T20I captain made during the 2025 Asia Cup over the men’s team rivalry with Pakistan. While on that side, his debates were debatable, although not far away from the truth; there is no scope for debate in women’s cricket, as India’s dominance is as one-sided as possible India’s Stunning Dominance Over Pakistan In Women’s Cricket The clash in the 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup was the 12th time that India and Pakistan faced each other in a Women’s ODI in history, with the Women in Blue emerging victorious on 12 occasions. This was the 5th time the two teams met each other in the mega event’s history, with India maintaining a 100% world record. Infact, across both genders in the 50-over World Cup, India and Pakistan have met 13 times, and all games have been won by the Indian team (8 men, 5 women) As far as the women’s team is concerned, it is not just the win-loss record, which shows their dominance, but the margin of victory. In the 12 ODIs between the two teams, India has won each game by a minimum of 80 runs or five wickets. In the 12 matches, India batted first on eight occasions and won four by more than 100 runs. In the four times that the two-time World Cup finalist batted second, they won three with more than 150 balls to spare.

On seven occasions, the Women in Blue have been bowled out for less than 100 against the Women in Blue. Their highest total is 192, and they have crossed 150 just thrice, one of which was yesterday. Meanwhile, the 2025 Women’s World Cup was the first time Pakistan managed to bowl out the Indian team in a Women’s ODI game. The T20I format makes better reading for Pakistan, although India still heavily dominates. The two teams have played each other 16 times in the shortest format, in which the 2020 Women’s T20 WC runners-up lead the head-to-head 13-3. Among Pakistan’s three wins, two have come in the Women’s T20 World Cup (2012, 2016). However, it is worth noting that all three victories of the Women in Green have been by extremely close margins (1 run, 2 runs, 13 runs). The two teams have played each other in a Test match.
