Women’s World Cup: Harleen’s 46 And Richa’s 35* Take India To Competitive 247 V Pakistan
ODI World Cup: Harleen Deol's composed knock of 46 and Richa Ghosh’s brisk unbeaten 35 meant India posted 247 in their 50 overs against Pakistan in the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup clash at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday. It was a stop-start innings, stretched over four hours due to multiple interruptions, including players leaving the field for pest control measures.
India’s innings lacked fluency, with several batters getting starts but failing to convert them into a big score, as their innings included 173 dot balls. At 159/5 in the 35th over, India looked vulnerable, especially in the absence of Amanjot Kaur. It wasn’t until the final four overs, when India added 44 runs, that the total gained some respectability.
With no half-centuries on board, India will back their bowling to defend 247 on a not-so-easy pitch and secure a second straight win. For Pakistan, pacer Diana Baig stood out with 4-69, while skipper Fatima Sana Khan, Said Iqbal, Rameen Shamim, and Nashra Sandhu were the other wicket-takers.
