India captain Harmanpreet Kaur displayed trademark composure during the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 match against Pakistan at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium. Coming in at No. 4, the Indian skipper scored 19 off 34 balls, striking two boundaries and forming a 39-run stand with Harleen Deol, who made 46. The moment that caught everyone’s eye arrived in the 22nd over of India’s innings. Pakistan’s left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu, having stopped a firm push back down the pitch from Harmanpreet, threw a piercing death stare at her. The Indian captain, however, remained completely unbothered. She responded with a brief, calm look before quietly turning away — a gesture that resonated across social media as a symbol of poise under pressure. Within hours, the clip flooded online platforms, earning applause for Kaur’s controlled demeanor. The unspoken tension mirrored the intensity that has historically defined India-Pakistan clashes. Sandhu, meanwhile, went on to dismiss Jemimah Rodrigues for 32, returning with figures of 1/47 in her spell.

Harleen Deol’s 46 anchored the innings, while Richa Ghosh’s spirited 35 off just 20 balls gave India a much-needed late boost. The track played slow and uneven, leading to frequent halts, including fumigation breaks. India’s innings featured 173 dot balls — the highest by any side in the tournament so far — yet they managed to maintain momentum. Diana Baig stood out for Pakistan with a career-best 4/69, while Sadia Iqbal and Fatima Sana picked up two wickets apiece. In reply, Pakistan’s batters struggled against India’s disciplined attack. Kranti Goud (3/20) and Deepti Sharma (3/45) shared six wickets, while Sneh Rana contributed with two. Sidra Amin’s 81 off 106 balls, the highest score by a Pakistani against India in women’s ODIs, was in vain as Pakistan folded for 159 in 43 overs. The victory, by 88 runs, marked India’s second consecutive win in the tournament, lifting them to the top of the points table. In a symbolic continuation of the men’s team’s Asia Cup stance, the players refrained from shaking hands after the match.
