Bulls Eye from Harmanpreet Kaur! Diana Baig pays the price for being too slow in between the wickets. The fast bowler drags a drive off Deepti Shara towards mid-wicket. The Indian captain, quickly collects the ball and breaks the stumps at the non-striker's end. Sadia Iqbal is the last batter to be dismissed as India win by by 88 runs.

OUTTTTTT!!!!! Sidra Amin is finally dismissed for 81. She tries to sweep Sneh Rana but the ball travels straight to Harmanpreet Kaur, who takes a low diving catch. Amin bangs her bat into the ground in frustration. That should be all for Pakistan. PAK-W 150/8 (40)

OUTTT!!!! Sidra Nawaz hits straight at the hands of Sneh Rana off her own bowling. Pakistan are going down the barrel as they lose their sixth wicket. At the other end, Sidra Amin is fighting a lone battle in Colombo. PAK-W 143/6 (37)

OUTTTT!!! Another wicket goes down for Pakistan as Deepti Sharma sends back Fatima Sana for just 2. PAK-W 102/5 (31)

Injury scare for Shree Charani after she leaves the field. The youngster's chest landed on the ball while trying to save a run. She left the field grimacing in pain.

Natalia Pervaiz and Sidra Amin get into a rescue act with a strong partnership. India need wickets at this moment. Pakistan need boundaries. If they go at such a snail's pace, it's all over for Pakistan. PAK-W 57/3 (20)

OUTTT!!! Another Pakistan batter bites the dust and it's Kranti Gaud again who strikes. Reacting to a length delivery outside off, Aliya Riaz unnecessarily pokes the ball to Deepti Sharma, who takes a low catch. PAK-W 26/3 (11.5)

OUTTT!!! Kranti Gaud strikes as Sadaf Shamas hits straight to the bowler. Indians have kept things tight so far. PAKW 25/2 (10)

More drama in Colombo! Indians appeal for a LBW against Muneeba Ali but the umpire remains unmoved. Richa Ghosh isn't convinced either. There's a direct hit at the striker's end with Muneeba seemingly unaware. Third umpire comes into action but gives her NOT OUT before the ball hits the wicket. They once again check for the run out and this time watches the full video. TV replays show her bat was in the air when the ball hits the stumps.

Kranti Gaud and Renuka Singh Thakur keep things tight for Pakistan as none of the openers could open their arms. Earlier, India played 173 dot balls during their innings. PAK-W 6/0 (4)

What a timing for Richa Ghosh! She opens the face of the bat and goes over the extra cover for a six. 13 runs come from the over from Richa. The timing is so good. IND-W 225/7 (48)

BANGG!!!! Richa Ghosh treats a length ball from Fatima Sana like the way it should be treated, out of the park. India need a few more from Richa. INDW 212/7 (47)

Fatima Sana gets her second wicket of the day as Sneh Rana hits straight at the hands of Aliya Riaz. Richa Ghosh joins Deepti Sharma in the middle. IND-W 203-6 (45)

Sneh Rana hurts herself following a dive at the striker's end. The BCCI medical team is in the field. Btw, Rana is good to go. Meanwhile, the bugs are making life difficult for the Indian batters. IND-W 190/5 (43)

Another interruption due to bugs. Looks like bug have got into the eyes of Rameen Shamim as she splashes water. She is good to go as play resumes after a short halt.

The bugs are back as Sneh Rana tries to keep them away. Looks like the ground staff need to do more to make the players feel comfortable in the field. IND-W 160/5 (36)

OUTTT!!! After Fatima Sana, Sadia Iqbal gets into action with the wicket of Pratika Rawal. Reacting to an arm ball from Iqbal, Rawal goes on backfoot to play a cut, but missed the line of the ball only to see her stumps shattered. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur comes in the middle. IND-W 67/2 (15)

OUTTT!! Fatima Sana finally get the breakthrough as Smriti Mandhana departs for 23, trapped in front. Unsure of whether the ball hit at the right spot, Mandhana went upstairs. TV replays showed it hit the leg stump. IND-W 48/1 (9.1)

Both Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana have given India a steady start as the openers waited for the loose balls for the boundary. In fact, the Pakistan bowlers lacked aggression in the seven overs they have bowled so far. IND-W 36/0 (7)

Time for National Anthems. Pakistan go first, followed by India. Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal walk out for India. Pakistan start with spinner Sadia Iqbal. IND-W 8/0 (1)

India's Harmanpreet Kaur and Pakistan's Fatima Sana stand in the middle for the toss. Pakistan win the toss and opt to bowl.

It's not raining at the moment. As far as the weather is concerned, the temperature is around 31 degrees with the humidity at 65 percent. Overcast conditions into play.

No handshakes in India vs Pakistan today. We are just few minutes away from the coin toss.

Today marks the fourth India vs Pakistan clash in the last 25 days. While the IND vs PAK clashes in the Asia Cup 2025 were marred by the off-field issues, something similar, especially "no handshakes" can't be ruled out.

Any India vs Pakistan game comes with a lot of pressure. On match-day at a JioStar show, former India cricketer Saba Karim stated, “There will be pressure. That’s why India vs Pakistan has become such a big clash, even in the Women’s World Cup. Otherwise, it wouldn’t matter as much. India has played Pakistan before and generally, done well. But because of the so-called controversies that surround such matches, I’m sure the Indian team management and players have prepared simulations to perform under pressure. The best approach for India and the team management is to remove all outside distractions and focus on the game ahead. That said, I do agree that some pressure will exist for the Indian side.”

Another aspect in the Indian middle order is the form of Richa Ghosh. The Bengal wicketkeeper-batter hasn't been consistent with the bat and needs to step up to provide a balance to the Indian team.

Against Sri Lanka, India did not play the likes of Renuka Singh Thakur while Arundhati Reddy was injured. Amanjot Kaur did the job for Reddy, both with bat and ball. Will Renuka Singh Thakur return against Pakistan?

As of now, it's overcast in Colombo, but there are chances of rain later on the day. It rained the entire day on Saturday.

The two points on Sunday will be very crucial for the Indian team as rain washout will only compound to India's problems as the tournament progresses. After the Pakistan clash, India play against South Africa, Australia, England and Bangladesh before the semifinals take place. In a tournament like these, losing one point makes a lot of difference.

"Their support is very important to me because they always stand by me. They know I have room to make mistakes, and if I do, they help me. Seniors like Sidra, Alia, and even Diana always make sure the team stays united. If someone makes a mistake, someone else immediately covers it up. The way our team is right now, and the unity we have - obviously as a young captain it's challenging, but with their support, I don't feel it much," Pakistan captain Fatima Sana.

Huge record awaits Smriti Mandhana. The Indian vice-captain is just 104 runs shy of becoming the second Indian after Mithali Raj (7805) to score 5000 runs in women's ODIs.

Good news for all cricket fans in Colombo. The R Premadasa Stadium authorities have made ENTRY FREE for the India vs Pakistan clash today. If you are around Colombo, do travel to watch the game and support women's cricket.

During India's first training session in Colombo, Sneh Rana and Amanjot Kaur were the notable absentees. Arundhati Reddy, who didn't play in the first game due to injury, and Uma Chetry were the only Indian players to turn up for the batting session in indoor nets. Renuka Thakur, who was rested for the Sri Lanka game, did return to training in Colombo.
