Any India-Pakistan match brings a different level of excitement and drama, whether it's between the men's or women's cricket teams. Similarly, on Sunday, October 5th, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, India and Pakistan faced each other in the sixth match of the ICC Women's World Cup. India won by 88 runs, defeating Pakistan for the 12th time. This infuriated the Pakistani women's team, and they began creating drama on the field. Let's take a look at three high-voltage dramas that unfolded during the India vs. Pakistan women's match...

Pak bowler showed her eyes to Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur
During India's batting, Pakistani bowler Nashra Sandhu was bowling in the 22nd over. Harmanpreet played a short delivery, and she caught the ball. Then, pretending to throw it to the batsman, she stared at Harmanpreet. Harmanpreet didn't react negatively to this, but instead, with a slight smile, said something. This reaction is going viral on social media.
Pakistani batter's drama
During Pakistan's batting, the run-out of batter Muneeba Ali also caused high-voltage drama. In fact, when Muneeba Ali was hit on the pad by the last ball of Kranti Gaud in the fourth over, India appealed for LBW, but she was given not out. During this, Deepti Sharma picked up the ball and threw it directly at the stumps at the wicketkeeper's end. Muneeba Ali was slightly out of the crease; she kept her bat inside the crease, but when the bails fell, her bat was above the ground. Initially, the third umpire declared her not out, but later, after watching the replays, she was given out, which prompted a high-voltage drama on the pitch.
Echo of no handshake
The Asia Cup no-handshake sentiment echoed in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025. Indian captain Harmanpreet Singh Yadav refused to shake hands with Pakistani captain Fatima Sana at the toss. Even after the match, the Indian players did not shake hands with Pakistani players. Previously, the Indian team had refrained from shaking hands with Pakistan in all three matches of the Asia Cup 2025.
