Women’s WC: Renuka Replaces Ailing Amanjot As Pakistan Opt To Bowl First Against India

By IANS News October 05, 2025 • 15:39 PM View: 786

India have brought in fast-bowling spearhead Renuka Singh Thakur as Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first in a crucial 2025 Women’s World Cup group-stage clash at the R Premadasa Stadium on Sunday.

Tournament hosts India are coming into this clash after beating Sri Lanka by 59 runs in their opening game in Guwahati. Another clinical win over Pakistan, who suffered a seven-wicket loss to Bangladesh in their first World Cup, will strengthen their net run rate before tougher league stage games arrive.
