In a significant development, the ongoing Women's World Cup match between Sri Lanka and South Africa has been interrupted due to rain. After winning the toss and electing to bat first, Sri Lanka Women had a shaky start, powering themselves to 46 for two before rain arrived at the venue to play spoilsport.

The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo has seen three abandoned fixtures in the 2025 Women's World Cup. While Sri Lanka Women's group-stage clash against Australia was called off without toss, their encounter against the New Zealand Women eventually got washed out after multiple rain interruptions. On a similar note, Pakistan Women's winning chances took a hit when their group-stage contest against England Women was abandoned at the venue after they had a stunning time with the ball in the first innings.
