Women's World Cup: Everyone You Meet Tells You To Win, Says Smriti Mandhana On The India–Pakistan Rivalry
Cricket World Cup: As India gear up to face arch-rivals Pakistan in their second ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 encounter in Colombo on Sunday, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana perfectly captured the emotions that surround one of cricket’s most storied rivalries
“The atmosphere during India–Pakistan games is always very intense; it’s always a full house. Everyone you meet since morning tells you to win. That sort of atmosphere also brings out the best in you sometimes. My teammates and I absolutely enjoy that,” Mandhana said in a conversation with JioStar, ahead of the high-voltage clash.
The stakes are always high when India and Pakistan meet, and Mandhana’s words reflect not just the competitive spirit but also the pride that comes with wearing the Indian jersey in such contests. India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, began their World Cup campaign on a winning note, defeating Sri Lanka by 59 runs in a rain-hit match in Guwahati. Pakistan, meanwhile, suffered a setback in their opener, losing to Bangladesh by seven wickets in Colombo — making Sunday’s fixture crucial for both sides.
