Colombo: The 19th match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 between Pakistan and New Zealand women’s teams ended without a result due to heavy rain at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
In the day-night encounter, Pakistan Women, batting first, had reached 92 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 25 overs when torrential rain interrupted play.
Alia Riaz was the standout performer for Pakistan, scoring 28 runs, followed by Muneeba Ali with 22 runs and Natalia Pervez with 10 runs.
New Zealand’s Lea Tahuhu delivered an impressive bowling performance, claiming 2 wickets for 20 runs in her 6 overs. Jess Kerr, Amelia Kerr, and Eden Carson each took one wicket.
Persistent rain prevented the match from resuming, forcing umpires to declare it a “no result.” Both teams were awarded one point each on the World Cup points table.
Pakistan Women’s next match is scheduled against Australia on October 20.
