As it is, the Indian team is under a bit of a pump in the Women’s World Cup 2025, owing to their questionable form and decisions, and now a key member could be out due to a freak injury. Yes, on Sunday in Navi Mumbai, during the IND vs BAN contest, India’s second-highest run-getter in the tournament, Pratika Rawal suffered an ankle injury.
The incident happened in the 21st over of the rain-curtailed match, where the fielder slipped on a wet outfield, when Sharmin Akhter hit Deepti Sharma for a four. Actually, Pratika’s right foot got stuck in the ground and got twisted. Such was her condition that she had to be stretchered off the field.
#CWC25 Really worrying. Pratika, India's 2nd highest run-scorer of the World Cup, limps off the field after twisting her left ankle badly. Looks in a lot of pain. only silver lining she was on her feet as she walked off. But that didn't look good for a semifinal in 4 days. pic.twitter.com/2B5qz5iSvx
— Vinayakk (@vinayakkm) October 26, 2025Now, in four days time, on October 30, India plays their semi-final against the best team in the world — Australia. If Pratika is unfit for the match, it will be a huge blow for the team, as she is in tremendous form, and recently scored 122 vs New Zealand in a must-win match.
Just for the record, Pratika Rawal has scored 308 runs in the World Cup at an average of 51. She has had a glorious partnership with Smriti Mandhana, who is the leading run-getter with 331 runs. And it goes without saying, that if India has to harbour any hopes of a win, their best batters need to be on the park, on the day of the semis.
