The match between Australia and Sri Lanka at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 was washed out due to rain at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo, resulting in no play.

Persistent showers delayed the toss, and with no sign of the weather easing, the two captains agreed to abandon the game. Consequently, both teams were awarded one point each.

With this outcome, Australia now tops the points table with three points, while Sri Lanka earned their first point of the tournament and currently stand fifth in the eight-team standings.

Australia came into the match following an impressive 89-run victory over New Zealand in their opening fixture, reinforcing their status as defending champions.

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, had lost their opening match against India in Guwahati, where India won by 59 runs under the DLS method. image
