IND w vs pak w: The Women’s World Cup 2025 match between India and Pakistan was full of thrills and emotions as usual. But this time Richa Ghosh nor Deepti Sharma, but the young bowler of the Indian team, Kranti Gaur caught everyone’s attention with his brilliant performance. He completely scattered Pakistan’s innings with three important wickets in the match and won the Award for ‘Player of the Match’.
Kranti Gaur’s great performance
In this match, ‘Player of the Match’ fast bowler Kranti Gaur spent only 20 runs in his 10 -over quota and threw three overs maiden. Kranti gave India a strong position by returning Pakistan’s top order batsmen to the pavilion.
Kranti Gaur bowled a total of 47 dots in this match. This is the most dot balls thrown by an Indian fast bowler after 2020. He also left behind Renuka Singh’s record of 45 dot balls. Thanks to his brilliant spell, Pakistan came under pressure from the initial overs and could not handle the run pace. Kranti Gaur took a total of 3 wickets and completely derailed Pakistan’s run.
For India, Deepti Sharma and Renuka Thakur also bowled brilliantly and brought Pakistan to the backfoot.
Amazing with ball, head bowed to Pakistan
In this high-voltage match played on the Kind of Colombo, Pakistan won the toss and decided to bowl first. India scored 247 runs while batting first. However, the beginning was nothing special for India. Smriti Mandhana (23) and Pritka Rawal (31) tried to lay a strong foundation by adding 48 runs for the first wicket, but continued to fall in the middle order.
Richa Ghosh finally played a fast innings of 35 runs and took the team to a respectable score. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s pressure increased as soon as the wicket fell, but the lower -order partnerships helped touch up to 247.
The Pakistan team, chasing the target, was reduced to 159 runs in 43 overs. Sidra Amin definitely played a brilliant innings of 81 runs on his behalf, but she did not get any support from the other end. Pakistan’s entire team was shattered in front of India’s bowling.
Repeated ‘No Handshek’ controversy again
‘No handshek’ policy was more discussed than sports in this match. After the toss, neither Harmanpreet Kaur nor Pakistan captain joined hands with each other. This is the same protocol that recently adopted the Indian men’s team in the Asia Cup 2025.
India’s dominance remains intact
With this victory, India also won its 12th consecutive ODI against Pakistan. Once again, it has been proved that whether it is male cricket or female cricket, Pakistan is difficult to stand in front of India.
