IND vs PAK: What happened the last time India played Pakistan in women’s ODIs?
India and Pakistan face off against each other in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday.
The last time India played Pakistan in women’s ODIs was back in 2022; incidentally, it was at that year’s World Cup held in New Zealand.
What happened last time India faced Pakistan in women’s ODIs?
The Indian team thrashed arch-rival Pakistan by 107 runs to begin its campaign in the 2022 Women’s World Cup on a rousing note.
Opting to bat after the coin landed in India’s favour, in-form opener Smriti Mandhana, Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar struck useful half-centuries to help their team recover from an early wobble and post 244 for seven at the Bay Oval.
For Pakistan, spinners Nida Dar (2/45) and Nashra Sandhu (2/36) snared two wickets each.
Chasing a tricky target of 245, the Pakistan team fell way short of the mark and was all out for 137 in 43 overs, losing its 11th straight game against neighbour India in the 50-over format.
Left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad starred with the ball, returning with excellent figures of 4/31 after her full quota of 10 overs. Seasoned pacer Jhulan Goswami bowled very well to finish the game with impressive figures of 2/29, while there were also two wickets for Sneh (2/27), capping off her fine all-round show.
It was Pakistan’s 15th defeat while chasing in the Women’s World Cup.
