India’s Supremacy Over Pakistan Continues in Women’s Cricket

The scoreboard said India won by 88 runs. But beyond the numbers, it told a larger story — one of control, consistency, and an unbroken streak of supremacy that has turned what was once imagined as a rivalry into a one-sided chapter of women’s cricket.

In the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup final, India once again outclassed Pakistan, extending a record that now stands at 12-0 in ODIs. Across formats, the record is even more striking: 24 wins out of 27 matches in the last two decades. From the early 2000s to the present, India has not only dominated the scorecards but also the narrative.

Their biggest margin, a 207-run victory in 2008, remains symbolic of the gulf in skill, resources, and system support that separates the two nations in women’s cricket. Even in T20Is, India’s lead of 13-3 reinforces the imbalance. In World Cups, the story is absolute, India has never lost to Pakistan.

While men’s cricket between the two countries carries decades of political and emotional weight, the women’s game tells a quieter, clearer truth: this is not a rivalry, but a reign. India’s domestic structure, central contracts, and access to elite coaching have created a pipeline of talent that few teams in Asia can match. Pakistan, still struggling with inconsistent investment and limited exposure, remains in catch-up mode.

The latest win in Colombo underscored that contrast. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur led from the front with a measured innings, supported by a disciplined bowling unit that dismantled Pakistan’s chase before it ever found footing.

For India, this was more than a victory, it was confirmation. For Pakistan, it was a reminder. And for world cricket, it was evidence that in this particular contest, the idea of “rivalry” has long since been replaced by something far more definitive: dominance.
