India Women vs Pakistan Women T20 World Cup 2026 Live.
India Women (IND-W) vs Pakistan Women (PAK-W) T20 World Cup 2026 Live Cricket Score Updates: Sadia Iqbal picked up Bharti Fulmali.
India is three down.
Earlier, Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and opted to bat first against Fatima Sana’s Pakistan on match six of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 at Edgbaston on Sunday In November last year, India broke their trophy drought to win the first ICC title in the 50-over World Cup at home.
They will look to continue adding to their trophy count, starting Sunday against their arch-rivals.
And the head-to-head stats heavily favour the Indians.
And the last meeting between the two sides was in Dubai ICC T20 World Cup 2024, when India thumped Pakistan by six wickets.
However, one way Pakistan can get the better of India is by picking up openers early who need to perform consistently for India’s success in the competition.
Scroll down for all the live updates of India vs Pakistan Live Blog 20:37 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live: IND 151/5 (18.5 overs) vs PAK A lot will depend on how Richa Ghosh fares here.
She is quite a powerful ball striker, and a cameo from her will shift the momentum of the innings again.
However, given the way India is batting here, it is very unlikely they will get 180 from here, which seemed like a good total on this surface given how flat this pitch looked at the toss.
Additionally, Pakistan also have been penalised for bowling slow overs and a fielder is called in.
20:30 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live: IND 132/5 (17.4 overs) vs PAK The Indian skipper, too, has fallen here.
She did take her time and got herself in, but that is a bit of a poor wicket from the Indian perspective, as if she could have stayed till the end with the accelerating ability she has, she could have done quite a bit of damage in this phase.
Pakistan, with these wickets at regular intervals are making a comeback of sorts in the game.
20:18 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live: IND 117/4 (15 overs) vs PAK Pakistan has picked up two crucial wickets here.
Mandhana has given another opportunity, the third one of the afternoon and this time, skipper Fatima Sana running from the long-off took a brilliant catch.
Bharti, who is on her debut, danced down the track of the second delivery to show a bit of aggression, but missed the ball completely as Iqbal took the ball away from the batter, and the keeper stumped Bharti.
20:07 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live: IND 105/2 (13.3 overs) vs PAK The momentum has changed in this game certainly.
After starting the game well, Pakistan seems to have lost it a bit.
They are dropping a few catches, and Indian batters are batting a bit more freely.
In the initial overs, the fielding effort from Pakistan did create a lot more pressure on India as singles were hard to come by, but now that the catch drop of Smriti seems to have completely deflated them.
19:58 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live: IND 84/2 (11.4 overs) vs PAK Smriti Mandhana has gone past her half-century here.
Since being dropped, she has definitely changed gears.
The superb part of her innings has been that the boundaries have come with ease rather than her trying to put on some power.
Both these batters have another gear which they can change, which we might see sooner rather than later in the innings.
19:47 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live: IND 63/2 (9.3 overs) vs PAK The momentum has shifted here.
Smriti has been dropped, and since then, India has woken up.
Harmanpreet Kaur scored a couple of boundaries, and now Smriti has scored a sublime shot as well.
Is that the moment when India starts to take ownership of this game?
Pakistan has started pretty superbly in the game, but they are slowly losing grip in this game.
19:37 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live: IND 42/2 (7.1 overs) vs PAK Harmanpreet Kaur usually tends to play the anchor role, and the way India has started here.
Her batting will become more important.
This lineup has several power hitters in it, but the current situation demands a bit of stabilisation.
Mandhana too has the game to bat long, and she might have to bat till the 12th or 13th over before deciding to go after the bowling.
19:29 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live: IND 38/2 (6 overs) vs PAK India is struggling a bit to start with, while Mandhana is batting pretty well, the batter at the other end also needs to support her.
She has got herself a start in the middle.
Harmanpreet Kaur has walked into the middle, and the skipper has to play a captain's innings here.
Pakistan on the other hand has started their batting pretty well.
19:25 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup Live: Mandhana, Kaur rebuild India are noty off to a assured start as they lost both Shafali and Jemimah in the early goings of the match.
Mandhana and captain Harmnapreet are now trying to rebuild.
10 from the 5th over.
IND 30/2 after 5 overs 19:07 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live: IND 8/1 (1.1 overs) vs PAK Shafali Verma smashed a six of the first delivery of the over, and the Pakistan spinner Iqbal was smart enough to try to cramp Shafali for room, and the batter walked right into it when she tried to cut the ball and got the edge to the keeper.
Early success for Pakistan here in Edgbaston.
Jemimah is the new batter who has walked into the middle.
18:59 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live: Let's go!
The national anthems are done.
The atmosphere is buzzing here in Edgbaston, and the sun is shining bright.
It is going to be a cracking game of cricket.
It is one of those showpiece games in the ICC events where the emotions are high.
Do stay with us, it is going to be a cracking game of cricket.
Both openers are ready, and Pakistan's fielders too have walked in.
18:53 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Pitch report by Ian Smith and Nasser Hussain "Well, India against Pakistan.
It's the game that lights up any World Cup, and you need great conditions for that.
In terms of the weather, we have got that.
It's a very pleasant afternoon here in Birmingham.
It's a temperature around 19-20, so no problem there.
No rain expected, so that's a good thing.
We're going to get continuity there.
In terms of the dimensions of this ground, bowling from the Pavilion End, the boundary out to the right is about 55 metres, 61m square on the on-side.
Down the ground, straight hit is around 69-70m.
The pockets, 70m apiece.
Behind me, 55m down to third man and to fine leg.
Any pace in the pitch, well, maybe you can use those boundaries to your advantage.
But what about the pitch surface?
Game three on this very same surface.
If you have played three games on a surface, you'd think it would look tired and get tired, but this is a hybrid pitch.
This is one of seven hybrid pitches that they have here at Edgbaston, and it has held together pretty well.
Obviously, with all the traffic during the previous games, there are some bits of rough, and there are little bits that it will grip, and that's why it's a spin-heavy side on both sides.
I'm a little bit surprised India didn't play Nandni Sharma with all those variations and cutters.
Here, your seamers need to bowl cutters, and your spinners will make it grip.
I think it's still a very good surface." 18:49 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: What did Fatima Sana say ahead of game I think if we had won the toss, we were going to bat first as well because it looks like a batting track. (Do you feel as if the batting unit is looking good?) Yeah, I think as a team, we are doing great in the batting and the bowling as well.
So we know we have a good bowling unit, so we just need to improve in the batting side, so we are good to go. (The approach of their bowlers on this surface) Yeah, obviously, it looks like a batting track, but still, we have a good bowling unit.
We have a good experienced bowling attack, so I think it will be a good contest. (Any key in or out for you for the team?) Yeah, we are going with Saira.
She will be playing first time in the World Cup.
18:45 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: What did Harmanpreet Kaur say ahead of game We will bat first.
I think it's a very good pitch to bat on, so we just thought let's bat and set a decent total on the board. (Does winning a World Cup give them confidence?) Well, I think we all are very excited.
The last World Cup definitely has given us a lot of confidence and we just want to carry that confidence to this World Cup. (Have you been pleased with the build-up?) Yes, definitely.
We have plugged a lot of areas and now it's only about playing good cricket and we are looking forward to that.
Bharti's playing today.
And yeah, Yastika did really well, but today we thought of going with Bharti.
We are going with three spinners and two medium pacers.

18:13 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: STATS Shankar Narayan: India and Pakistan have met eight times at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, the joint -most alongside Australia vs New Zealand and Australia vs South Africa prior to the start of the 2026 edition; the Women in Blue have logged six wins against Pakistan in the competition, only Australia (7 wins against South Africa) and New Zealand (7 wins against Sri Lanka) have logged more wins against a single opponent so far in this competition.
18:08 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: STATS Shankar Narayan: India has won eight of their last nine women’s T20Is against Pakistan, including their last three on the bounce; a win in this game would mark their second-longest winning streak against Pakistan in the format (Between November 2016 and July 2022).
18:04 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Abhishek Nayar on Women's team “And then I’d have to say India simply because of what happened in the 50-over World Cup.
They beat South Africa in the final.
They seem to like and thrive on the big stage in the bigger games, but I think that India-South Africa game is absolutely vital," he concluded.
17:54 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Nasser Hussain on India “And then I’d have to say India simply because of what happened in the 50-over World Cup.
17:45 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Nasser Hussain on favourites “If you asked me to bet my life on it, I’d never bet away from Australia, the way they have been over the years.
You see it in the warm-up games and what they did to the West Indies.
In England, they are a serious side," he said.
17:35 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Nasser Hussain on semi-finalists “That’s the great thing," Hussain said.
“I don’t want to go into this tournament telling you now who the semi-finalists are going to be and who’s going to win it." 17:24 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Nasser Hussain on South Africa “What Laura Wolvaardt, as India know, with Wolvaardt and Sune Luus at the top of the order – the way they played against India in that bilateral series, they’ve got Shabnim Ismail back, they’ve got Marizanne Kapp back, Dane van Niekerk back.
They’ve got the youngsters coming through and they have a superb player in Laura Wolvaardt right at the top of her game," Hussain said.
17:15 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Jemimah on IND vs PAK match “The preparation has been excellent.
We’ve had great camps, and this team is looking really confident.
We didn’t have a great series against South Africa, but sometimes a defeat teaches you a lot more than winning.
We’ve made notes of those lessons, worked on them, and now we can’t wait to get out there and play some good cricket," she added.
17:04 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Jemimah on IND vs PAK match “We prepare differently for every game.
We’ve been putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations, whether in training or on the field.
We have a lot of sessions where we play out different scenarios.
Everyone says you have to thrive under pressure, but how do you do that?
You do it by repeatedly putting yourself under pressure in practice and making those situations as challenging as possible, so that when you go into a match, you feel prepared.
16:56 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Jemimah on IND vs PAK match “Even my building watchman says, ‘Lose to anyone, but not against Pakistan.’ That is the kind of pressure because people love cricket.
They love this rivalry," she added.
16:45 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Jemimah on IND vs PAK match “I remember when I played my first India-Pakistan game.
In the dressing room, Harman did actually speak to us, saying, ‘Let’s not deny it.
There is pressure from the outside because we know the history of India versus Pakistan.
We know what the fans expect’," 16:36 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Head Coach Gautam Gambhir on Women's team “I’m sure you are going to make 140 Crore Indians proud.
Not many get the opportunity to represent the country on the world stage." 16:25 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Aakash Chopra on Indian pacers "Death overs, that will be the big challenge, because we get our spinners to bowl the death overs many times.
How we bowl in the death overs might actually define.
We might end the Powerplay on equal terms, but can we grab them with spin in the middle overs, and whether we can bowl well in the death overs, I think that will be the defining part," Chopra observed.
16:19 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Aakash Chopra on Indian pacers "In bowling, again, the Powerplay overs, whether it's Renuka Singh Thakur, Arundhati Reddy, or Kranti Gaud, the focus will be on them.
Even if Nandani Sharma plays, she will have a bigger role in the death overs.
Since it's England and it would swing, Renuka Singh Thakur's value increases," he said.
16:15 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Aakash Chopra on middle order "Then followed by Yastika Bhatia, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Richa Ghosh.
The last five overs' responsibility will be on Richa Ghosh and Harmanpreet Kaur.
You will expect Deepti Sharma to continue playing as attackingly as she has started doing in the WPL.
It seems like we are actually quite set in batting.
We are as good as any other World Cup team in batting," he observed.
16:11 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Aakash Chopra on Smriti Mandhana "Smriti Mandhana will be there with her.
Smriti Mandhana in England is another beast altogether.
She has scored a lot of runs there.
So, Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, as your Powerplay players, can actually control the game.
One of them should bat deep into the innings, which they can," he added.
16:06 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Aakash Chopra on Shafali Varma "The Indian girls have won the 50-over World Cup.
Can they win the 20-over World Cup?
That's the big question.
It's a good team.
Where do you win T20 games?
One is if you control the Powerplay with the bat and with the ball.
With the bat, Shafali Varma's consistent avatar is very, very good," Chopra said.
16:02 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: What did Fatima Sana say ahead of game?
"We've been planning this (brand of attacking cricket) for quite some time and also wanted to execute it in batting - that we play fearless and play attacking.
Because obviously, as we've seen in T20s, there is a dominating scene going on.
So the attempt is that the more you dominate the bowlers the easier it will be.
So the effort for all batters is to play attacking (cricket), whether it is the start, middle overs or the end because the more aggressively you play, the more the opposing team gets under pressure." 15:39 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: What did Harmanpreet Kaur say ahead of game?
"When things are always going well, sometimes you don't know which areas you need to improve on as a team, but when you lose, you learn a lot.
That's what the last one and half-month has shown: (there are a) lot of things, lots of scope for improvement.
That's what we have been discussing in team meetings and trying to apply ourselves on the field - how we can do better in that area, how to improve ourselves and bring that onto the field.
Those losses (against England) have given us a lot of learning, and hopefully, we'll use that experience for this tournament" 15:28 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: Pakistan predicted XI Muneeba Ali, Gull Feroza, Ayesha Zafar, Eyman Fatima, Fatima Sana (c), Natalia Parvez, Aliya Riaz, Rameen Shamim, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal, 15:20 (IST)14 Jun 2026 India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score: India predicted XI Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Yastika Bhatia, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma, Shreyanka Patil, Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Gaud, N.
