In the ODI Women's World Cup 2025 match against arch-rivals, Team India, Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana has won the toss and elected to bowl first at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo.

Earlier, in the concluded Men’s Asia Cup 2025, the Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India did not shake hands with any of the Pakistani players. Later, after the Asia Cup 2025 triumph, the "Men in Blue" also refused to accept the trophy from the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief, Mohsin Naqvi.
