IND-W vs PAK-W: Winning Prediction & Top Performers

The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 kicked off with India securing a victory. The sixth match of the World Cup is set for a big clash between India and Pakistan, after the Asia Cup men's team match. As per the previous form, India delivered a remarkable performance in both batting and bowling. Therefore, India has more advantages. However, the bowlers still struggle to perform well. Consequently, they should consider executing the bowling lineup. For India, Batters like Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur are expected to display an extraordinary performance. All-rounder Deepti Sharma can control the middle overs with her bowling capacity. Sneh Rana will help to take the crucial wickets.

As for Pakistan, they need to work harder as they have not been able to beat India yet. Their batting and bowling need to improve a lot. They might depend on their best three or four players, such as batters Sidra Ameen and Aliya Riaz. Key spinner Sadia Iqbal and pacer Fatima Sana could make breakthroughs against India.
