In all their meetings so far, the Indian women’s cricket team has barely given Pakistan a chance. Wins have come almost as routine, yet the weight of an India–Pakistan clash means every match feels charged, no matter the record.
The rivalry is about history, pressure, and the rare chance of an upset. In this piece, we’ll walk through the head-to-head record in ODIs and T20Is, the biggest totals, and standout games that shaped the story.
For anyone curious about how lopsided this contest really is, the numbers tell it best—keep reading.
IND-W vs PAK-W All-Time Records
India Women have maintained an overwhelming advantage in their encounters with Pakistani women across all formats of international cricket.
| Format | Total Matches | India Wins | Pakistan Wins | Draw/No Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ODIs | 11 | 11 | 0 | 0 |
| T20Is | 16 | 13 | 3 | 0 |
| Overall | 27 | 24 | 3 | 0 |
India’s record against Pakistan in ODIs is flawless, with 11 wins in 11 matches. Few bilateral matchups in women’s cricket show such absolute dominance. The shorter format tells a similar story.
Out of 16 T20Is, the India women’s cricket team has come out on top 13 times, with Pakistan managing just three wins.
Put together, that leaves India with 24 victories from 27 encounters, a success rate close to 90 percent.
It’s the kind of imbalance that makes this rivalry unique, even when compared with other lopsided head-to-heads in the women’s game worldwide.
WODI Records Of India Women vs. Pakistan Women
India’s unblemished record in women’s ODI cricket against Pakistan includes victories across different continents and tournament conditions.
| Total Matches | India Wins | Pakistan Wins | Draw/No Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 11 | 0 | 0 |
India’s run of 11 straight wins in ODIs against Pakistan started back in 2005 and has continued unbroken ever since, right through their latest meeting.
The margins have been all kinds, sometimes routine chases, other times heavy defeats handed out with the bat.
What stands out most is Pakistan’s failure to get on the board at all in this format, a reminder of just how wide the gap remains between the two teams in fifty-over cricket.
| Parameter | India | Pakistan |
|---|---|---|
| Highest total | 289/2 (Karachi, 2005) | 192/7 (Cuttack, 2013) |
| Lowest total | 169/9 (Derby, 2017) | 57 (Bowral, 2009) |
| Most runs | Rumeli Dhar – 292 runs | Sajjida Shah – 124 runs |
| Highest individual score | Jaya Sharma – 138* (Karachi, 2005) | Nida Dar – 68* (Cuttack, 2013) |
| Most wickets | Ekta Bisht – 11 wickets | Sana Mir – 8 wickets |
| Best bowling performance | Ekta Bisht – 5/8 (Colombo, 2017) | Qanita Jalil – 5/62 (Jaipur, 2006) |
| Most hundreds | 1 – Jaya Sharma and Mithali Raj | 0 |
| Most fifties | Rumeli Dhar – 4 | Nain Abidi and Nida Dar – 1 |
| Most sixes | Rumeli Dhar – 5 | 0 |
Jaya Sharma’s knock of 138 not out in Karachi back in 2005 still stands as the highest score in an India–Pakistan women’s ODI. That innings carried India to 289 for 2, which remains the best team total in this contest.
Pakistan’s lowest effort came a few years later at the 2009 World Cup, when they were folded for just 57 against a disciplined Indian attack.
Over the years, Rumeli Dhar has been the most reliable run scorer, collecting 292 runs across matches between the two teams.
Ekta Bisht also left her mark with the ball, her left-arm spin producing 11 wickets, including an unforgettable 5 for 8 in Colombo in 2017. To date, no Pakistani batter has managed a century against India.
T20 Records Of India Women vs. Pakistan Women
The T20I format has provided Pakistan with its only victories against India in international cricket.
| Total Matches | India Wins | Pakistan Wins | Draw/No Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 | 13 | 3 | 0 |
For Pakistan, the three wins they’ve managed in T20 internationals against India are some of the brighter moments in their women’s cricket history
India, of course, has had the upper hand most of the time, collecting 13 wins that range from easy, one-sided outings to tense, down-to-the-wire finishes.
The shorter format has at least allowed Pakistan to stay in the contest, something rarely seen in ODIs.
T20 cricket’s unpredictability, with quick swings of momentum and pressure, has occasionally given Pakistan the opening it needs, even if the larger balance stays firmly tilted towards India.
| Parameter | India | Pakistan |
|---|---|---|
| Highest total | 151/3 (Cape Town, 2023) | 149/4 (Cape Town, 2023) |
| Lowest total | 81 (Guangzhou, 2012) | 63 (Guangzhou, 2012) |
| Most runs | Mithali Raj – 315 runs | Bismah Maroof – 248 runs |
| Highest individual score | Mithali Raj – 73* (Bangkok, 2016) | Bismah Maroof – 68* (Cape Town, 2023) |
| Most wickets | Ekta Bisht – 10 wickets | Nida Dar – 10 wickets |
| Best bowling performance | Priyanka Roy – 5/16 (Taunton, 2009) | Anam Amin – 4/13 (Guangzhou, 2012) |
| Most hundreds | 0 | 0 |
| Most fifties | Mithali Raj – 2 | Bismah Maroof and Nida Dar- 2 |
| Most Sixes | Richa Ghosh and Smriti Mandhana – 3 | Nida Dar – 4 |
Mithali Raj’s unbeaten 73 in the 2016 Women’s T20 Asia Cup Final is still the highest individual score in this rivalry. It came at the right moment, helping India take the win while showing how she can control a T20 innings from start to finish.
Both teams, of course, have had rough days, where India’s 81 and Pakistan’s 63 are reminders of how quickly a T20 can unravel.
Priyanka Roy’s 5 for 16 in the 2009 World Cup is still the best bowling effort between these sides. No one has hit a century yet, which shows how tricky the format is.
Harmanpreet Kaur has lit up matches with sixes, while Nida Dar leads Pakistan with ten wickets, tying Ekta Bisht’s haul for India.
India Women vs Pakistan Women In the ICC World Cup 2025
The ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 runs from September 30 to November 2 across India and Sri Lanka, with the India-Pakistan match scheduled for October 5 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
- India Women vs Pakistan Women on October 5, 2025, at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo at 3:00 PM IST
India enters the tournament under Harmanpreet Kaur’s captaincy with Smriti Mandhana as vice-captain. Pakistan competes under Fatima Sana’s leadership, with all its group matches scheduled in Colombo.
Pakistan faces India on October 5, Australia on October 8, then England, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. Breaking their winless ODI record against India remains Pakistan’s priority.
The fixture has drawn attention regarding handshake protocols. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia told BBC that the relationship with Pakistan remains unchanged from last week, referencing the men’s Asia Cup, where Indian players avoided handshakes.
The men’s team also skipped the trophy presentation after winning the final. Whether the women’s team follows this approach remains unconfirmed. ICC rules do not mandate handshakes, making it traditional rather than compulsory.
Conclusion: The Indian Women’s Cricket Team Has A Recorded Dominance Over Pakistani Women’s Cricket Team
The numbers say it all, and India’s women’s cricket team has had complete control over this rivalry.
Out of 27 games, they’ve won 24, a record most teams in any sport would envy. In one-day cricket, the dominance is absolute, with India holding a spotless 11–0 record that stretches back nearly two decades.
Pakistan’s three T20 wins are more like footnotes than turning points, reminders of what can happen on an unpredictable day rather than a sign of balance. The individual highlights tell the same story.
Mithali Raj’s mountain of runs, Ekta Bisht’s wickets, Jaya Sharma’s century, every milestone worth remembering belongs to India.
Going forward, Pakistan will keep searching for ways to close the gap, while India focuses on staying ahead.
