After the India Men’s Cricket team did not shake hands with the Pakistani players in the Asia Cup 2025 match, will there be no handshake in the India-Pakistan ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 match? Both teams will play against each other on 5th October (Sunday) 2025, in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025.
During the Men’s Asia Cup 2025, India played Pakistan three times, first in the group stage, then in the Super-fours, and last in the Asia Cup 2025 final. India were the winners in all three matches, and they refused to shake hands in all three matches with the Pakistan players. This sparked a lot of controversy. The Indian team also refused to take the Asia Cup 2025 trophy from the ACC chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, who is from Pakistan. At the end, the Indian team celebrated without the trophy.
No handshake in India-Pakistan ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 match?
The India Women’s team will face off against the Pakistani Women’s team in the sixth match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. 5th October (Sunday) is the date for the match. As Pakistan will not play any matches in India, R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will be the venue for the India-Pakistan match. Will both teams, India and Pakistan, avoid handshakes for the fourth time? is the question.
It might again happen as well. There are a lot of former players who feel politics and sports should not be mixed. This is surely true, but it is completely on the players. The reason for it is that the ultimate goal for both teams is to play in a fair manner.
Basically, the India Women’s team and the Pakistani Women’s team have played a total of 11 matches against each other in the ODI format. India has won all matches, whereas Pakistan has yet to defeat India Women’s in the ODI format.
The last time India Women and Pakistan played in the ICC Women’s World Cup was in the last edition. Eventually, India Women’s won that match by 107 runs. Pooja Vastrakar was the Player of the Match. There are chances that India Women’s and Pakistan Women’s will again meet in this World Cup. It will be either in the Semi-final or the final, depending on the team’s qualification.
