This article takes a detailed look at the recent match, the statistics behind India’s dominance, and the broader context of India’s superiority over Pakistan across multiple spheres.

India vs Pakistan Women’s Cricket Rivalry: Numbers Don’t Lie

Since their first clash in women’s international cricket in 2005, India and Pakistan have faced each other in ODIs, T20Is, and ICC tournaments. India has a commanding record:

Format	Matches Played	India Wins	Pakistan Wins	Win % for India
Women’s ODI	13	11	2	84.6%
Women’s T20I	14	11	3	78.6%
ICC World Cup Encounters	6	6	0	100%
Total	33	28	5	84.8%

The figures show India’s overwhelming dominance. Every major ICC tournament meeting between the two sides has gone India’s way, from the 2009 Women’s World Cup to the 2023 T20 World Cup.

The Latest Encounter: A One-Sided Affair

In the most recent clash, India’s women showcased complete control:

India’s score: 147/4 in 18 overs (led by aggressive batting from Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur).
Pakistan’s response: Collapsed to 112/9, unable to handle India’s bowling attack led by Renuka Singh and Deepti Sharma.
Margin of victory: India won by 35 runs.

Key highlights from the match:

India hit 15 boundaries and 6 sixes, while Pakistan managed only 7 boundaries in their entire innings.
India’s top three batters contributed 75% of the total runs, reflecting consistency.
Pakistan’s batting collapse saw 4 wickets fall for just 20 runs in the middle overs.

This latest defeat extends Pakistan’s losing streak against India in ICC women’s tournaments to 8 consecutive matches.

Humiliation Beyond Cricket: A Pattern

The India–Pakistan rivalry is not limited to cricket. Historically, Pakistan has often found itself on the losing side in multiple domains when compared to India.

1. Wars and Military Clashes

1947, 1965, 1971, 1999 (Kargil War) and Operation Sindoor (2025) : India has emerged victorious in all major wars. The 1971 war resulted in the creation of Bangladesh, marking one of Pakistan’s biggest humiliations.
Surgical Strikes (2016) & Balakot Airstrikes (2019): India showcased modern military capability, while Pakistan struggled to respond effectively.

2. Economy

India’s GDP (2025 est.): Over $4 trillion.
Pakistan’s GDP (2025 est.): Barely $370 billion.
Per capita income in India is more than double that of Pakistan.
India’s foreign exchange reserves: $650+ billion, Pakistan’s: around $10–12 billion.

3. Technology & Space

India’s ISRO launched the Chandrayaan-3 and Mangalyaan missions successfully, placing India among the elite space nations.
Pakistan has no significant independent space program and relies on China.

4. Sports Beyond Cricket

Hockey: Once Pakistan’s pride, India has now surpassed them. India won a hockey Olympic bronze in 2021, while Pakistan has failed to even qualify in recent years.
Olympics: India has produced medal winners across wrestling, badminton, boxing, weightlifting, and athletics. Pakistan has struggled to win even a single medal in the last few decades.

5. Global Influence

India is a member of G20, BRICS, Quad, and an emerging superpower.
Pakistan faces diplomatic isolation, grey-listing by FATF, and heavy dependence on IMF bailouts.

Why India Continues to Dominate in Women’s Cricket

Investment in Grassroots: India has developed women’s academies, school programs, and domestic leagues.
Women’s Premier League (WPL): Launched in 2023, it provides world-class exposure to Indian women cricketers.
Better Infrastructure: India’s facilities and training support far surpass Pakistan’s.
Exposure & Sponsorship: Indian players are now brand ambassadors and receive commercial backing, unlike Pakistan’s players.
Leadership: Players like Mithali Raj, Jhulan Goswami, and Harmanpreet Kaur have been inspirational icons, shaping a winning mindset.

India vs Pakistan: A Century of Rivalry and Results

Domain	India’s Achievement	Pakistan’s Struggles
Cricket (Women)	28 wins in 33 games	Only 5 wins
Cricket (Men, ICC Tournaments)	14-1 record in World Cups (ODI + T20)	Only 1 win
Wars	Victories in 1947, 1965, 1971, Kargil 1999	Multiple defeats, loss of East Pakistan
Economy	$4 trillion GDP, world’s 5th largest	$370 billion GDP, struggling economy
Space	Chandrayaan-3, Mangalyaan	No independent missions
Olympics	Consistent medal tally	Nearly medal-less for decades
Diplomacy	G20, BRICS, Quad	IMF bailouts, FATF grey list

The pattern of humiliation extends beyond cricket and has become part of Pakistan’s repeated setbacks across global stages.

The Psychological Edge

Every India-Pakistan clash is high-pressure, but Indian athletes and soldiers have consistently shown stronger resilience. In cricket, Pakistan’s women often look nervous against India, while Indian players thrive under the spotlight. This psychological edge stems from India’s history of victories, making Pakistan’s task even harder.

The Road Ahead

For India:

Continue nurturing women cricketers through WPL and domestic circuits.
Invest in fitness and sports science to maintain dominance.
Push for consistency in ICC tournaments to lift global trophies.

For Pakistan:

Massive investment in infrastructure and grassroots needed.
Greater exposure for women players required.
Need to break the psychological barrier of facing India.

However, given the trajectory of both nations in sports, economics, and global standing, Pakistan has a long way to go to bridge the gap.

Conclusion

The Indian women’s cricket team’s victory over Pakistan is not just another win—it’s a reflection of a much larger narrative of India’s superiority in multiple fields. From wars to sports, from the economy to space exploration, India has left Pakistan trailing.

The cricket field, once again, became a stage where India showcased its dominance and Pakistan suffered another humiliation. For fans, it’s more than sport—it’s national pride reaffirmed.
