The league stage match between defending champions Australia and Sri Lanka at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 was abandoned without a ball bowled at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In what would have been Sri Lanka’s first home fixture at the World Cup, the toss was initially delayed due to a wet outfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rain then came in and failed to stop, which resulted in the match abandoned hours after the scheduled start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The teams each take a point from the encounter, which sees Australia move to the top of the table, while Sri Lanka have picked up their first point of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking ahead, the titleholders will next face Pakistan on 8 October in Colombo, while Sri Lanka will prepare to host England in a week’s time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
