**Women’s WC: Crowd Attendance in IND-SL Match Breaks Records**
*By Gaurav Tripathi | Oct 01, 2025, 09:26 AM*
The opening match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 between India and Sri Lanka has set a new benchmark in women’s cricket attendance. Held on September 30 at Guwahati’s Barsapara Cricket Stadium, the game attracted an unprecedented crowd of 22,843 fans. This marks the highest attendance ever recorded for a group stage match in Women’s World Cup history, surpassing the previous record of 15,935 set during the India-Pakistan clash in 2024.
### Endorsement from Sachin Tendulkar
ICC Hall of Famer Sachin Tendulkar praised the remarkable progress made by women’s cricket in recent years. He hailed the Women’s Premier League (WPL) as a game-changer that has significantly enhanced visibility and financial security for women cricketers. Tendulkar also acknowledged the efforts of former BCCI secretary Jay Shah for championing equal match fees for men and women and for laying the foundation for the WPL.
### Recognition of ICC’s Initiatives
Tendulkar further lauded the ICC for announcing record prize money for the Women’s World Cup—an amount even higher than what was awarded for the men’s World Cup in 2023. He emphasized that such administrative measures not only transform lives but also send a powerful message that women’s cricket deserves equal respect. According to the former Indian cricket legend, initiatives like these inspire young girls by showing them that their passion is valued and supported equally.
### Match Highlights: India vs Sri Lanka
In a rain-curtailed encounter, India batted first and posted a competitive total of 269/8 in 47 overs. Notable contributions came from Amanjot Kaur and Deepti Sharma, both scoring vital fifties to steady the innings after early setbacks. Sri Lanka struggled in the middle order and were eventually all out for 211 runs.
Deepti Sharma also made an impact with the ball, claiming 3 wickets for 54 runs. With these wickets, she became India’s second-highest wicket-taker in women’s ODI cricket, overtaking former spinner Neetu David.

According to investigators, on the night of the crime, the victim was soliciting customers near a petrol pump on Marve Road. The accused, who had been in Mumbai for barely 20 days and was driving an auto-rickshaw without a valid license, approached her. After negotiating for Rs 600, he took her to a deserted stretch on Lagoon Road, where they attempted intercourse inside his auto-rickshaw. However, police sources said the accused had consumed alcohol and failed to perform. The victim insisted on leaving quickly, which triggered an argument. Enraged, the accused strangled her with her dupatta, killing her on the spot. He then drove the body in his rickshaw and abandoned it in a shed near Sawant Wadi, Malwani Church, before absconding. Singh originally hailed from a poverty-stricken family near Agra, Uttar Pradesh, where he lived with his elderly mother and younger brother, struggling to make ends meet. The investigation was particularly challenging as there were no CCTV cameras at the crime scene. Detectives backtracked footage from the petrol pump where the victim was last seen. They spotted her boarding a rickshaw marked with a tricolour stripe at the back. Though the number plate was unclear, scrutiny of older footage showed the same rickshaw regularly visited the pump for refuelling. This led officers to the rickshaws owner. During questioning, the owner revealed that the driver (the accused) had taken his savings of Rs 1, 700 and left in a hurry, claiming his brother in the village had done something wrong and an FIR was being registered. The lead, coupled with mobile CDR analysis and informer tips, enabled police to trace the accused to his native village near Agra, where he was arrested. He was later brought back to Mumbai for further proceedings, said an officer from Malwani police station. DCP Sandeep Jadhav (Zone 12) confirmed the arrest, stating to mid-day: We had formed 12 teams, each of which performed its task diligently. Their combined efforts helped us crack the case and nab the accused. He has been produced in court and remanded to six days of police custody.
