The figure surpassed the previous record of 15,935, set during the same fixture in Dubai in 2024, highlighting the rapid rise in popularity of women's cricket on the global stage.
The Women in Blue delivered a historic performance in front of the packed crowd at Edgbaston, sealing a memorable 64-run win.
India-Pakistan contests have consistently attracted significant interest, but the latest attendance figure marks a notable leap, reflecting both the expanding fan base for women's cricket and the anticipation surrounding marquee international fixtures.
India and Pakistan do not play bilateral cricket, which only adds to intrigue when the two teams face off at ICC events. The two teams have squared off at every ICC event, with India enjoying a 7-2 run in ICC tournaments in women's cricket.
