Women’s ODI World Cup 2025: Sri Lanka vs New Zealand Abandoned, Updated Points Table Revealed

Women’s ODI World Cup 2025: Sri Lanka vs New Zealand Abandoned, Updated Points Table Revealed

[ Poll: BL86e2wQ ]

The news has come from Colombo, the match has been called off. The two captains shook hands as the game was abandoned because of rain. Each team will get one point. This is the second match of the tournament to be washed out, and on both occasions, Sri Lanka has been involved.

Earlier in the day, Sri Lanka Women opted to bat first after winning the toss, and skipper Chamari Athapaththu led from the front with a fluent knock. She looked in fine touch, punishing anything loose, while Vishmi Gunaratne played the supporting role, taking her time to settle in. New Zealand failed to make early inroads as Sri Lanka reached 52/0 at the end of the powerplay. Gunaratne got a couple of lifelines on 26 and 31. The pair of Gunaratne & Athapaththu added a solid 101-run opening stand before Devine finally struck, dismissing her opposite number for 53.

Gunaratne too followed soon after for a well-compiled 53, and though Harshitha Samarawickrama and Hasini Perera tried to rebuild with a 58-run stand, New Zealand managed to pull things back after Harshitha’s dismissal for 26. The White Ferns found some control late in the innings, removing Perera for 44 and Dilhari for 4 in quick succession.

But Nilakshi de Silva turned the momentum back Sri Lanka’s way with an explosive knock down the order. She played some stunning strokes, racing to a 26-ball fifty and finishing unbeaten on 55 off just 28 balls, powering Sri Lanka to a strong 258/6, with 80 runs coming in the final 10 overs. Sophie Devine (3/54) was the pick of the bowlers for New Zealand, claiming 3/54. Bree Illing (2/39) & Rosemary Mair (1/29) supported their skipper well.

Things took a dramatic turn later in the evening. Just minutes before the run chase was about to begin, the skies opened up, and a heavy downpour halted play for around an hour. The ground staff did a remarkable job to get the field ready, and the teams were set to restart at 9:15 PM for a 30-over chase. But the rain wasn’t done yet. It returned once more and ultimately ruled the contest, leading to the match being called off. Both teams walk away with a point each.
