Was the Toss Fixed in the India vs Pakistan Womens World Cup Match?

The toss fixing allegations have once again taken over the headlines. And this time, it took place in the ICC Women's World Cup clash between India and Pakistan. A viral video of the match shows evidence of toss fixing.

Sunday was another blockbuster for the Indian fans, as they got to see the El Clásico once again. India and Pakistan faced each other in the Women's World Cup, with the Indian team on a mission to score 12-0. But before the match,

This happened at the time of the toss, when both captains stood in the middle. During the toss, the Pakistani skipper called for Tails. But it was announced that Heads was the call, and even the coin flipped on the Heads side. This further gave the Pakistani team a toss advantage, putting India on the back foot at the start.

But this is not the only game where the toss has been fixed or looked to be fixed.

1. India vs Pakistan: Women's World Cup 2025

The term toss fixing resurfaced with the match between India and Pakistan. With the match referee giving a call totally different from that of Fatima Sana, the Indian fans were quick enough to notice the same. Ravi Shastri, a former Indian cricketer, also stood there and watched it happen

Even on various cricket scoring websites, it has been added that the Pakistani skipper called the toss correctly. But in the videos going viral all over the internet, it is clear that she called for Tails, and Heads is what appeared on the coin. Despite losing the toss, Harmanpreet and company went on to defeat the Pakistan Women's team in the World Cup and secure their spot at the top of the table.

2. MI vs RCB: IPL 2024

Not only in the ICC tournaments, the toss has also in the IPL matches. The most popular IPL toss fixing incident took place during the IPL 2024 season, when the Mumbai Indians took on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Hardik Pandya and Faf du Plessis

Hardik Pandya spinned the coin, as Faf du Plessis called for Tails. But looking at the toss, it seemed that Hardik deliberately tossed it behind him, so that Faf du Plessis wouldn't be able to see the same. Immediately, Javagal Srinath went and flipped the coin to show that Hardik Pandya won the toss.

Mumbai Indians ended up winning the match by 7 wickets, but du Plessis knew that the toss was hampered in this situation. When RCB next faced SRH, it was Plessis again in the middle. This time, he was with the Australian skipper, Pat Cummins. Before the toss, du Plessis was seen telling Cummins how the toss was hampered.

In the viral video, it was seen that even the Australian skipper was shocked to see how the toss was exploited in Mumbai's favour in the game. Later on, the coin toss was also shown on camera in the same season, for the fans to know that the toss fixing would not be taking place. Hopefully, this also takes place in the ICC Women's World Cup now.
