IND w vs pak w: India defeated Pakistan by 88 runs in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 to register another stunning victory, but the most talked about moment of the match was when Pakistan batsman Muniba Ali was run out in a peculiar style. After her dismissal, Pakistan captain Fatima Sana clashed with the umpire and expressed anger on the field. However, Replay and ICC rules made it clear that Muniba was really out.
What happened on the field?
Young fast bowler Kranti Gaur was putting the fourth over of the innings for India. The last ball of the over hit Muniba Ali’s pad, and the ball went in the direction of slip. Deepti Sharma, while showing agility, picked up the ball and blown the stumps by hitting the throw directly. India appealed for LBW, but the umpire rejected him.
Meanwhile, the matter went to the third umpire on the run -out appeal. In the replay, Muniba had earlier given his bat to the crease, but his bat was in the air at the time of hitting the stump. Because of this, the third umpire declared him run out.
ICC rule opened poll
Rule of ICC 30.1.1 states that the batsman will not be considered “inside the crease” unless his body or bat is completely in contact with the land.
At the same time, according to Rule 30.1.2, if the batsman reaches the crease by dive or running and the bat or body has touched the ground, then it is safe, even if the bat goes into the air later.
But Muniba was neither running nor diving in this situation. She was just standing and the ball was in the play. So as soon as her bat raised up and the ball hit the stump, she was considered out.
Match result
India scored 247 runs while batting first. Harleen Deol played a fast innings of 46 and Richa Ghosh 35 runs. In response, Pakistan’s team was shattered for just 159 runs. Sidra Amin definitely played an 81 -run teak innings, but the rest of the batsmen could not stand in front of the Indian bowlers.
Did not join hands!
In this match too, India’s ‘No Handshek’s policy’ was in the discussion. During the toss, captain Harmanpreet Kaur refused to join hands with Pakistan captain Fatima Sana. However, due to technical disturbances in the toss, the decision went to Pakistan’s favor, and he decided to bowl first.
India dominated Pakistan
With this victory, India won the 12th consecutive win against Pakistan and also won the 5th match in the World Cup. The Indian team led by Harmanpreet Kaur is now being counted among the strongest contenders for the tournament.
