Toss and Pitch Insights: The Setup for a South Asian Showdown in ICC Women’s World Cup 2025
Cricket’s all about those first calls, right? Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana nailed the toss and chose to bat first under partly cloudy Colombo skies. Smart move? On paper, yes—the R. Premadasa pitch, with its true bounce and hints of early seam movement, often rewards batting sides. But as Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty quipped post-match, “Happy. Good toss to lose. We also wanted to bat.” Turns out, Mother Nature had other plans.
The venue, home to Sri Lanka’s biggest crowds (capacity: 35,000), played host to this Bangladesh Women vs Pakistan Women ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 clash with temperatures hovering around 32°C early, dipping to 27°C later. Dew? A sneaky factor in the evening, but it barely mattered once Bangladesh’s bowlers got to work. Experts from ESPNcricinfo noted the surface offered swing for the new ball—perfect for Bangladesh’s young tearaway, Marufa Akter—and turned into a spinner’s paradise as the game wore on. “It was seaming early but good for batting too,” Fatima Sana reflected, hinting at regrets over their execution.
For context, these two sides have history. In the last four ODIs, it’s been 2-2—dead even. Bangladesh’s qualifier triumph in Pakistan earlier this year set the stage for this rematch. Both teams arrived fresh off warm-ups: Pakistan lost to South Africa by four wickets, while Bangladesh held training camps focusing on spin and fitness. The air was thick with rivalry—South Asian passion at its finest. Would Pakistan’s batting firepower (Sidra Amin’s recent centuries) fire, or would Bangladesh’s guile win the day? Spoiler: The pitch told the tale.

Pakistan Women’s Innings Unraveled: A Shocking Collapse in Bangladesh Women vs Pakistan Women ICC Women’s World Cup 2025
Picture this: The first over. Two balls in, and Pakistan are 2 for 2. Golden ducks for Omaima Sohail and Sidra Amin. Welcome to Marufa Akter’s world. What followed was a masterclass in how not to bat on a tricky track. Pakistan’s innings in this Bangladesh Women vs Pakistan Women ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 encounter wasn’t just a fold—it was a freefall, all out for 129 in 38.3 overs. Run rate? A dismal 3.35. Highest partnership? A measly 42. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) were stunned: “@TheRealPCB” posted live updates at 69/5 after 21 overs, summing up the gloom with “#BackOurGirls.”
Let’s break it down ball by ball—or at least over by over. The Powerplay (0.1-10 overs) yielded 41 runs but two wickets, thanks to Marufa’s hooping inswingers. Muneeba Ali and Rameen Shamim tried to steady the ship with sweeps and clips—20 of the first 45 runs came from the shot—but Nahida Akter’s left-arm spin struck twice in the middle overs. Muneeba chipped to point (17 off 35), Shamim caught-and-bowled (23 off 39), and suddenly it’s 47/4 by over 14.
A mini-fightback flickered. Aliya Riaz slashed to fifty with a backward point four, Sidra Nawaz smacked back-to-back boundaries off Fahima Khatun. But DRS drama ensued: Nawaz reviewed an lbw on 0 (edged!), only for Rabeya Khan to trap her later (15 off 20) after Bangladesh’s successful review. Captain Fatima Sana, in her 50th ODI, creamed Marufa for four but fell lbw to Fahima (22 off 33) post-review fail. The tail? Natalia Pervaiz caught behind off Shorna Akter (9 off 14), Nashra Sandhu’s bizarre hit-wicket (1 off 7—only the second in Women’s World Cups), and Sadia Iqbal holing out (4 off 17). Diana Baig’s gritty 16* not out was cold comfort.
Bangladesh’s attack was poetry: Six bowlers, six wickets. Spinners choked the middle—economy rates under 2.5. Extras? 9, their “fourth batter.” As @hashmi_shahid tweeted, “Poor batting and bowling… eighth and last finish expected.” Harsh? Maybe. But stats don’t lie.
Here’s the full scorecard in a handy table for you stat nerds:
| Batter | Dismissal | Runs | Balls | 4s | 6s | SR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Omaima Sohail | b Marufa Akter | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |

Powerplay Score: 41/2 (10 overs).
Overs maidens galore—Shorna’s three in 3.3! As Times of India put it, “Bangladesh bowlers have a field day.” This collapse? A wake-up call for Pakistan’s batters, who scored just 15 boundaries total.

Bangladesh’s Bowling Blitz: Spinners and Seamers Steal the Show in 3rd Match
Hold onto your hats—this was Bangladesh’s bowling at its ferocious best. In the Bangladesh Women vs Pakistan Women ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 showdown, their attack wasn’t just effective; it was economical, varied, and vicious. Marufa Akter set the tone with 2-31 from seven overs, her inswingers like “booming deliveries” per ICC highlights. But the real stars? Those legspinners. Fahima Khatun (1-32), Rabeya Khan (1-13), and Shorna Akter (3-5) snared six wickets combined. Shorna’s career-best? Three maidens, bounce and turn that had Pakistan groping.
Tactics? Genius. Nishita Akter Nishi’s off-spin (1-28) mixed it up early, Nahida Akter’s left-arm wizardry (2-19) choked the run flow. Economy rates screamed control: Rabeya at 1.90, Shorna at 1.40. As @ThePapareSports tweeted mid-innings, “Pakistan 52/4 after 15—Bangladesh strangling them.” No loose balls, constant pressure. Marufa’s catch to dismiss Riaz? “I’m the best fielder in our team,” she joked post-match.
From X reactions, @Predict88cricke called it a “100% guaranteed profit” for Bangladesh fans—harsh on Pakistan, but spot on. This wasn’t luck; it was preparation. Camps honed their spin, and the pitch obliged. Pakistan’s sweeps? Neutralized. Their counterattacks? Snuffed.
Check the bowling table—pure gold for analysts:
| Bowler | Overs | Maidens | Runs | Wickets | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marufa Akter | 7 | 0 | 31 | 2 | 4.40 |

Bangladesh Women’s Chase: Smooth Sailing to Glory in the 3rd Match
Chasing 130? On a decent pitch? Piece of cake—or so it seemed for Bangladesh. After Pakistan’s implosion, the pressure was off, but credit where due: They made it look effortless. Finishing at 131 for 3 in 31.1 overs (RR 4.20), it was debutant Rubya Haider’s show—unbeaten 54 off 77 (8×4)—backing up the bowlers. As @visheshtaaa_j15 posted on X, “I knew they would beat Pakistan, but wasn’t expecting such a one-sided thrashing. Well done girls! 🔥”
Early wobbles: Diana Baig’s seamers (1-14, economy 1.80) and Fatima Sana’s fire (1-30) restricted them to 23/1 in the Powerplay. Fargana Hoque lbw to Baig after DRS (2 off 17)—Pakistan’s review upheld. Sharmin Akhter joined Haider for 28 runs, but fell lbw to Rameen Shamim (10 off 30). Enter Nigar Sultana (23 off 44, 5×4). The skipper’s arrival sparked it: Down the track to Sadia Iqbal for four, sweeps galore off Shamim. Their 62-run stand (77 balls) was the accelerator—Haider’s confidence bloomed, smashing Nashra Sandhu for 14 in an over (three boundaries!).
DRS again: Pakistan reviewed Haider caught behind (thigh pad!) and Sultana lbw (down leg!). Tension? Brief. Sultana holed out to Sana at 97/3 (24.5 ov), but Sobhana Mostary (24* off 19, all sixes and fours) finished with flair—a cut four off Sandhu. Extras (18) helped, but Haider’s fifty (off 64 balls) was the anchor. Powerplay: 23/1. By drinks (35/2 at 12 ov), they were cruising. As NDTV Sports highlighted, “Rubya Haider hits 50 as Bangladesh claim big win.”
X buzzed: @rahulk_1019 called it “Historic victory… crushing defeat for Pakistan.” This chase? Measured, then explosive. Partnerships built, momentum seized.
