India vs Pakistan Women's World Cup 2025: Jio Hotstar live streaming viewership hits 2 crore

After the stunning India-Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup 2025 final, all eyes are on the Women's World Cup 2025 this Sunday (October 5). Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana won the toss and opted to field against India during the match being held at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

The India vs Pakistan Women's World Cup 2025 has piqued interest, especially after the controversies marred the Asia Cup final between India and their arch-rival Pakistan last Sunday.

Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur has continued the team's no-handshake policy against Pakistan during the toss ceremony. Notably, India has never lost to Pakistan in the women's 50-over World Cup, having won all four of their clashes so far.

Fatima Sana was quoted by ANI as saying, "We're going to bowl first, looks like there could be some moisture on the wicket. One change for us - our confidence is great, hopefully we'll play better today. Anything under 250 could be a good chase."

Meanwhile, Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said, "We played a good series here before the WC. We're thinking positively and are looking to do well. One unfortunate change - Amanjot isn't playing [she's ill], Renuka Thakur replaces well. We've gelled well as a team and looking forward to today's contest."

The Indian team, which kick-started the campaign with a 59-run win over Sri Lanka, is playing the second match of the campaign against Pakistan.
