On October 5, 2025, the highly anticipated ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 match between defending champions Australia and Sri Lanka was washed out due to persistent rain at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo. The toss was delayed, and with no sign of the weather easing, the two captains agreed to abandon the game.
As a result, both teams were awarded one point each. This outcome sees Australia now topping 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 had earlier secured an impressive 89-run victory over New Zealand in their opening fixture, reinforcing their status as the defending champions. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, had lost their opening match against India in Guwahati, where India won by 59 runs under the DLS method.
