The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will see England Women (ENG-W) take on Pakistan Women (PAK-W) in Match 16 on Wednesday, October 15 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The high-octane contest is set to begin at 3:00 PM IST with England aiming to extend their unbeaten run and Pakistan desperate to open their account.

England Women

England Women have been on a roll in this tournament, registering three wins in three games to stay firmly in control of their campaign. In their last match, they outclassed Sri Lanka Women by 89 runs. Batting first, skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt led from the front with a brilliant 117 as England posted 253/9 on the board.

With the ball, Sophie Ecclestone delivered another stellar performance, claiming 4 wickets while Nat Sciver-Brunt and Charlie Dean bagged two each to bundle out Sri Lanka for 164. With their top order firing and their bowlers in red-hot form, England will be eager to continue their dominant run and make it four wins in a row.

Pakistan Women

It has been a forgettable start for Pakistan Women, who have suffered three consecutive defeats so far in the competition. In their previous game against Australia Women, they endured a 107-run loss after conceding 221/9, despite a commendable bowling effort led by Nashra Sandhu (3 wickets) with Rameen Shamim and Fatima Sana picking up two each.

The batting, however, crumbled under pressure with Sidra Amin being the only standout performer with 35 runs. The rest of the lineup failed to build any significant partnerships. Heading into this fixture, Pakistan will need their senior players, particularly Sidra Amin, Muneeba Ali and captain Fatima Sana to deliver if they are to challenge an in-form English side.
