Harmanpreet Kaur’s Inspiring Message to Fans After India’s Victory Over Pakistan
India triumphed over Pakistan with an impressive 88-run victory in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, held at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo. This win marked India’s continued dominance, extending their unbeaten record against Pakistan to 12-0 in One Day Internationals (ODIs) under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur. The match unfolded with some unexpected incidents, including a toss mishap and a brief delay due to bugs on the field, while both teams adhered to a “no-handshake” policy, reminiscent of the men’s Asia Cup.
India’s batting performance was solid yet challenging, as they faced a slow pitch. After being put in to bat first, India managed to score 247 runs before being all out. Harleen Deol was a key contributor with 46 runs, while Richa Ghosh added a brisk 35 runs. Despite the struggles of other batters to convert their starts, Harmanpreet expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, emphasizing the importance of keeping wickets in hand on a difficult pitch.
Pakistan’s batting lineup faltered early in their chase, losing three wickets for just 26 runs by the eighth over. They ultimately succumbed to India’s bowling attack, getting bowled out for 159 runs in 43 overs. Sidra Amin was the standout performer for Pakistan, scoring 81 runs off 106 balls, while Natalia Pervaiz chipped in with 33 runs. India’s bowlers, particularly Kranti Goud and Deepti Sharma, were instrumental in the victory, with Goud taking 3 wickets for just 20 runs and Sharma claiming 3 for 45.
In the post-match presentation, Harmanpreet praised her team’s bowling efforts, highlighting Goud’s outstanding performance and the overall effectiveness of the bowling unit. She acknowledged that while there were areas for improvement, the victory was crucial for maintaining momentum. Looking ahead, Harmanpreet noted the team’s familiarity with Indian pitches and expressed confidence in making the necessary adjustments for upcoming matches.
