Australia v Sri Lanka washed out without a ball bowled

Colombo hosted the ICC Women’s World Cup.

Australia: Did not bat.

Sri Lanka: Did not bat.

Match was discarded

Due to persistent rain in Colombo, the Women’s World Cup match between Australia and Sri Lanka was postponed without a ball being bowled.

Australia, the defending champion, would have been a strong favorite for the match, but they and Sri Lanka, co-hosts of the tournament, each receive a point each after the washout.

That fact was confirmed when the umpires called off the first match at 13:00 BST, making it enough to lift Australia, who won their opening game, to the top.

At the summit on Sunday, India will face fierce rivals Pakistan in a matchup that will give them a chance to take their place.
