Match Report: PAKW vs NZW – ICC Women’s World Cup 2025


Colombo, Oct 18: In the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, Pakistan’s disastrous campaign took another blow as Rain suffered the match at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. With this Result, Pakistan Women’s team has officially been knocked out of the tournament, having failed to win a single match so far.

New Zealand, although no result, is still in a precarious position. Their survival in the tournament hinges on winning their next two matches against India and England. It’s a must-win situation for the White Ferns to keep their semi-final hopes alive.

Pakistan Women’s Innings – 92/5 in 25 Overs

New Zealand Women, having opted to bowl first after winning the toss, dominated proceedings with tight bowling and clever field placements. Pakistan was left to struggle with a meager total of 92/5 in 25 overs.

  • Aliya Riaz was the lone fighter for Pakistan, managing to stay unbeaten at 28 off 52 balls*, though it came at a slow rate.

  • Muneeba Ali (22 off 26) started positively but fell short of making a significant impact.

  • Omaima Sohail (3 off 15) and Sidra Amin (9 off 16) couldn’t capitalize on early starts, as New Zealand’s bowlers struck at regular intervals.

Points Table Analysis – What’s at Stake?

Pakistan Women:


With their loss to New Zealand, Pakistan Women are now mathematically eliminated from the World Cup, having failed to win any of their matches so far. This has been a disappointing campaign for the team, with their performance falling short in almost every match.

New Zealand Women:

With the result of the match, New Zealand's survival in the World Cup is far from secure. They must win their remaining two matches-against India and England-to have any chance of progressing to the semi-finals. Their fate now depends on winning with high margins and hoping for some favorable results from other matches.

India Women:


For India Women, the tournament is still alive, but their situation is critical. A loss to England today would severely damage their hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals. India needs to win to maintain their 4th position on the points table, which is currently under threat from other competing teams. Today’s clash is a do-or-die match for them!

Today’s Key Clash – INDW vs ENGW


  • Venue: Holkar Stadium, Indore

  • Time: 3 PM IST

  • Match Type: Must-win for India Women

With the points table incredibly tight, India Women cannot afford to lose against England today. A defeat would push them out of the top four, making qualification for the semi-finals a near-impossible task. This match is as crucial as it gets for India’s World Cup campaign.
