Colombo gears up for a historic clash as Pakistan Women take on Bangladesh Women in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. Here’s how you can watch it live.Focus
A Battle Beyond the Pitch
The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 continues with its third match, featuring Pakistan Women vs Bangladesh Women at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. This is the first-ever Women’s World Cup fixture to be hosted in Sri Lanka, adding extra significance to the game.
Both sides arrive with a point to prove. Pakistan is relying heavily on Sidra Amin, Muneeba Ali, and Aliya Riaz, while Bangladesh brings its traditional strength in bowling and a deep batting lineup.
Evenly Matched Rivals
If recent history is any clue, this is going to be tight. In their last four ODI clashes, both Pakistan and Bangladesh have two wins each. One of those Bangladesh wins even came in a nail-biting Super Over.
Earlier this year, the two sides met in a World Cup Qualifier where Pakistan successfully chased 179, thanks to solid knocks from Muneeba Ali and Sidra Amin. With Amin in red-hot form—two centuries against South Africa and averaging 86.33 this year—Pakistan will want her to fire again.

Off-Field Challenges, On-Field Focus
What makes this clash even more intriguing is the off-field backdrop. Political tensions meant Pakistan’s fixtures were shifted to Sri Lanka, while Bangladesh’s squad is playing amid a turbulent domestic climate. Yet, both teams have managed to put cricket first, determined to let the game, not politics, take center stage.
