India W vs Pakistan W, Women's World Cup 2025: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report

India Women are facing Pakistan Women in match number six of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Women in Blue began their campaign with a 59-run win [DLS method] over Sri Lanka in Guwahati in the tournament opener. On the other hand, Pakistan suffered a seven-wicket loss against Bangladesh in Colombo.

As she has done so often for India Women over the years, all-rounder Deepti Sharma was the star of the show in the win against Sri Lanka. She scored a run-a-ball 53 after India had suffered a shocking batting collapse. Deepti also picked up three wickets with her canny off spin. Amanjot Kaur contributed a crucial half-century, while Sneh Rana scored some runs and picked up wickets too.

India Women have a dominant 11-0 win-loss record against Pakistan Women in ODIs. They would be keen to continue their unbeaten streak. There is some rain threat in Colombo though. Fans would hope that the India-Pakistan game doesn't meet the same fate as the Sri Lanka vs Australia clash on Saturday.

Today's IND W vs PAK W pitch report

"It's not raining, there's humidity as it's hot. There's breeze towards the shorter boundary. Good covering of grass, weather comes into play. It's going to be challenge for spinners, because of the shorter side of the boundary. Bat first or second, doesn't really matter.” - Pommie Mbangwa and Anjum Chopra
