ODI World Cup: India men’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav believes the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side can extend their unbeaten streak against Pakistan to 12-0 in women’s ODIs if they ‘focus completely on playing good cricket’. India face Pakistan in a high-stakes group-stage clash of the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup in Colombo on Sunday.

“Women's cricket is playing a different brand of cricket from the last 1-2 years as I can see. They are already playing well. But against Pakistan, I think they have been playing some good cricket. If they continue as they have been doing then I am sure mission 12-0 will happen if we play good cricket and our entire focus will be on cricket,” Suryakumar told JioStar.

Suryakumar also shared his recent conversation with Harmanpreet and candidly discussed the absence of rivalry in India-Pakistan matches. “I spoke to the captain 2-3 days ago that her campaign has started well and everyone is looking in good shape. They also had a good camp here in the Centre of Excellence before the World Cup.”
