00:00No handshake, a toss controversy and a 12-0 record against Pakistan.

00:04Like the men in blue at the Asia Cup, the women in blue continued their winning streak

00:08at the ICC Women's Cup 205.

00:11The October 5 match against Pakistan began with a controversy at the toss.

00:14Team India captain Harman Preet Kaur spun the coin, while the Pakistan captain Fatima

00:18Sanaa made the call.

00:19But the match referee Shahan Refritz made a blunder as she misheard Fatima's call for

00:23tails.

00:24The referee declared Pakistan the toss winner, despite the coin falling with heads.

00:27Meanwhile, India maintained its no handshake policy with Pakistan.

00:31In the match, India batting first, posted 247 runs and 50 overs.

00:35Then bowled Pakistan for 159 in 43 overs to clinch an 88 run victory.

00:39This winning streak against Pakistan began in 2005, when the women's team defeated Pakistan

00:43by 193 runs in Karachi.

00:45They won again in Karachi, followed by two more wins in Jaipur, then in Sri Lanka.

00:50And the list has only grown since.

00:51The count is 12-0 after the match in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

00:54The scoreboard reflected a collective effort, with no single match-winning knock.

00:59Experts say the Indian women's team has shown marked improvement in both batting and bowling.

01:02Earlier into 825, before the World Cup, India had a tough home series against Australia,

01:07losing the ODIs 2-1.

01:09If India sustains this momentum, it could pave the way for the women's team's first World Cup triumph.
