IND-W vs PAK-W Highlights, Women’s World Cup 2025: Jemimah Rodrigues Falls for 32, India 190/5 Against Pakistan in Colombo

The Indian women are locked in battle with their arch-rivals Pakistan women in the group-stage fixture of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 in Colombo. Having been asked to bat first by Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana, the Harmanpreet Kaur Team has moved to 190 for 5 in 42 overs, with Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana holding the innings together.

In a major setback for India, Jemimah Rodrigues was dismissed for 32 off 37 deliveries by Nashra Sandhu, just when she looked set for a big score. The Indian innings has been a slow grind, with most batters failing to convert their starts.

Salman Khan's Team Keeps the Pressure On

The Pakistani spinners have been very tight in the middle overs, picking up three wickets while conceding less than a hundred runs in twenty-four overs. It is slowing down somewhat in Colombo, and a target of around 240-250 might very well be up for grabs with the help available for the spinners.

Match Summary So Far

Toss: Pakistan won and opted to bowl first.

India’s Key Dismissals:

• Smriti Mandhana (early wicket)
• Harmanpreet Kaur – fell after a promising start
• Jemimah Rodrigues – 32 (lbw b Nashra Sandhu)
• Current Batters: Deepti Sharma & Sneh Rana

Score Update: 190/5 after 42 overs

Earlier, there was a small delay for fumigation, a rare sight in international cricket, as the umpires nearly stopped the match for some 20 minutes to clear off some bugs from the ground.

Through the building interruptions, India continues with rebuilding for a strong finish over the last eight overs.

Weather & Pitch Conditions

Colombo is again under threat from rain, and thunderstorms are forecast to arrive through the evening. India would like to maintain their undefeated run against Pakistan in women’s ODI cricket, even if this match is truncated due to weather interruptions.

Right now, the game is balanced with India looking to put 230-plus on the board.
