India will be facing Pakistan today at the Premadasa Stadium. Colombo, for their second match in the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup. Even though India has never lost a single ODI against Pakistan Women. However, former Indian wicketkeeper Saba Karim feels that it won't be an easy match, especially after whatever happened in the 2025 Men's Asia Cup. Saba Karim recently has a chat with the News18 Network and recalled the Asia Cup handshake drama and felt that it would affect the match today. Otherwise, there seems to be no big threat as such. Karim said, "Yes, I think so… that is why India and Pakistan have become a big clash, even in the Women’s World Cup. Otherwise, I don’t think it would have mattered so much, because India has played against Pakistan before in the past." He added, "Because of the so-called controversy that hangs over your head… I’m sure that the Indian team management and the players would have worked on this kind of simulation so that they’re able to perform even when something like this is on top of your mind."

Saba further stated, "For India, the best solution would be to try and remove all these outside noises and focus on the game ahead. The kind of experience the Indian side has got, especially the support staff – they will put up a very good performance without really bothering about such controversy." During the 2025 Asia Cup, the Indian men’s cricket team clashed with Pakistan three times, emerging victorious in all encounters. However, the spotlight was not just on the results — Indian players made headlines by refusing to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts and declining to accept the Asia Cup trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, a central government minister from Pakistan. In women’s cricket, India last faced Pakistan in an ODI on March 6, 2022, at Mount Maunganui, securing a 107-run win.
