India vs Pakistan Head to head

When it comes to the highest scorer in matches between India and Pakistan, Indian opener Smriti Mandhana holds the record, with 217 runs in 7 innings, including one century and two half-centuries.
As for the highest wicket-taker, Indian spinner Poonam Yadav holds the record, with 10 wickets in 7 innings, including two three-wicket hauls.
These statistics demonstrate the competitiveness and intensity of the India vs Pakistan rivalry in women's cricket, and highlight the skill and talent of the players on both sides.
Indian women's team in ICC events
The Indian women's cricket team has had a strong performance in ICC events since 2017. In the 2017 Women's World Cup, India made it to the final, where they lost to England. However, this was a significant improvement from their previous performances, and it marked the emergence of a talented young Indian team. In 2018, the Indian women's team reached the final of the Asia Cup T20 tournament, where they lost to Bangladesh. The following year, India made it to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, where they were defeated by eventual champions Australia.
In 2020, India made it to the final of the T20 World Cup once again, this time held in Australia. They were once again defeated by Australia, but their strong performance in reaching the final was a testament to the growing strength of the Indian women's cricket team. In recent years, the Indian women's cricket team has seen a surge of young and talented players, such as Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues, who have helped establish the team as one of the strongest in the world. With a combination of experienced players and young talent, the Indian women's cricket team is poised for continued success in ICC events.
LIVE IND vs PAK World Cup Updates: Rodrigues named player of the match
Jemimah Rodrigues won the Player of the Match award for her performance against Pakistan.
"I don’t know what to say. I knew building partnerships, taking it deep we’d end up chasing. Richa and I have built a partnership against Bangladesh, and we could do this today. This innings is really special to me, I haven’t been getting runs for a while but I’ve stuck to his processes. God is grateful, he takes care of the rest. I want to dedicate this to my parents, they are here at the stadium. This knock goes out to them. We just needed 10 an over, we were going over by over and we knew they would bowl a loose ball so that is what we had to punish. We knew we’d win if we stayed till the end. We’re very happy we’ve won this, momentum is on our side and now we just need to do the simple things correctly and consistently."
LIVE IND vs PAK World Cup: Incredible win for Team India
An incredible display of cricket was witnessed today. Nashra Sandhu dominated for Pakistan by taking out India's top two batters, Shafali and Harmanpreet, without giving up a single boundary in her spell. The run rate was over 10, but Richa stepped up to support Jemimah when she was struggling. Ayesha Naseem put India in a tough spot with an 18-run over, but Richa fired back with a 14-run over. By this point, Jemimah had found her form. With only 14 runs needed in the final two overs, Jemimah confidently declared that she only needed one over and delivered, leading her team to victory and earning a half-century in the process.

17.3 Aiman Anwer to Richa Ghosh, FOUR - Richa Ghosh showing her class! Full and in the zone, she makes the most of the opportunity with a lofted cover drive that splits the gap.
17.2 Aiman Anwer to Richa Ghosh, FOUR - Aiman Anwer is making a mistake by bowling wide with no third man or deep backward point. Richa takes advantage with a simple cut shot that splits the gap and puts India ahead. Great batting from the young star.
17.1 Aiman Anwer to Richa Ghosh, FOUR - Oh no! A dull short delivery way outside the off stump and with no third man or deep point in place. It would have been a wide, but Richa reaches it with a one-handed cut shot and finds the gap.

Massive moment in the game as Maroof takes a great catch! Nashra Sandhu strikes again and Pakistan is ecstatic. Sandhu has been outstanding in this spell, not allowing a single boundary and giving away only 13 runs with three balls remaining. She bowled a slow, tempting ball that turned away from Harmanpreet Kaur. The Indian captain, who is known for her slog-sweeps, took the bait and played the shot, but the bottom of the bat made contact and the ball went straight to short third man. Harmanpreet Kaur is out for 16 runs off 12 deliveries, with 2 fours.

Feeling good. Today, we wanted to bowl in good areas but a couple of misfields here and there. I was just trying to bowl in good areas.

Innings Break
LIVE IND vs PAK World Cup: Pakistan Finish High
Ayesha Naseem deserves a round of applause! Despite not being a part of the recent Under-19 World Cup, she has made an immediate impact in the senior World Cup. Pakistan had a solid start to the powerplay, but India took a few quick wickets, reducing them to 68/4 in the 13th over. It appeared that Pakistan would struggle to reach 130, but Ayesha came out with determination and played with great intent, hitting some tough shots. Bismah wisely took a step back and rotated the strike, allowing Ayesha to continue her aggressive play. Ayesha put immense pressure on Renuka, hitting 18 runs and forcing three wides as the bowler tried to keep the ball away from the off-stump. Thanks to Ayesha's heroics, Pakistan was able to score 58 runs in the final 5 overs, posting a competitive total.

Innings Break
LIVE IND vs PAK World Cup: Fifty for Maroof
Maroof hits a four off Vastrakar's delivery, bringing the partnership between Maroof and Ayesha Naseem to 50. The ball was guided past the keeper and went wide of the short third man. Yastika tried to stop it with a determined dive, but the ball just managed to escape and hit the boundary rope. Maroof reaches his half-century with a smart innings. Ayesha Naseem stepped back and allowed Maroof to shine, and now the team has wickets in hand for a big push. Bismah seems to be in some pain and it looks like the ball hit her left thumb, as the replay confirms.

I like to take this added responsibility that motivates me to peform better. We are a young side but we are excited to perform on this big stage.

We have got some good practice sessions here as well, can't wait to go out there and express ourselves, follow the processes and the results will take care of themselves. Bring on India vs Pakistan!

Like the previous game, this pitch will play similarly. Despite a few cracks, it will make a fantastic cricket wicket. Even though it might be a little two-paced, the cricket game should be fantastic.
LIVE IND vs PAK World Cup: Both Teams' Captain at the Toss
Harmanpreet Kaur: We wanted to bat because these wickets are a bit tricky. She (Smriti Mandhana) will be fine but we have added an extra batter for today - Harleen in there, Shikha misses out. I think these wickets will help us, we are a very good bowling side. Our bowlers performed well in the tri-series before as well.
Bismah Maroof: We'd like to bat first. It is a dry wicket, won't change much so we'd like to put up a total. (On Diana Baig) It is unlucky she is not here with us, but this is an opportunity for someone else to perform. We have the confidence because we won against India last time but conditions are different here.
