The fifth match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 between Sri Lanka and Australia was abandoned due to persistent rain at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo. As a result, both teams will share points, with one point each added to their tally.
Rain plagued Colombo throughout the day, leaving the ground unfit for play. The cut-off time for a T20I fixture was set at 8.08 p.m., but with no signs of improvement, the umpires decided to call off the match.
