Overview

  • First ball is at 3:00 PM IST at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, with live coverage on Star Sports and streaming on JioHotstar.
  • India arrive after a 59-run DLS win over Sri Lanka, whereas Pakistan seek a response after being bowled out for 129 in a loss to Bangladesh.
  • India hold an 11–0 record over Pakistan in women’s ODIs entering this fixture.
  • A BCCI official declined to assure post-match handshakes as the ICC limited political questions at press conferences and Pakistan captain Fatima Sana emphasized focus on the game and the spirit of cricket.
  • Rain is forecast following Saturday’s washout at the venue, increasing chances of interruptions and DLS; a harmless rat snake briefly interrupted India’s training session earlier in the week.
