Heavy rains forced the Pakistan vs England match in the Women’s ODI World Cup to be abandoned without a result in Colombo. With the Women in Green looking set to chase down a revised target, another spell of rain put paid to their hopes of notching up their first win in the tournament.

‌Rain gods denied cricketing action for a second straight day as the Pakistan vs England game in the Women’s ODI World Cup was abandoned without a result in Colombo on Wednesday. An initial downpour delayed the game after 25 overs of play got completed in the first innings and reduced it to a 31-overs-a-side contest. Just as Pakistan were looking good at 34/0 after 6.4 overs, chasing a revised target of 113, another rain stoppage ended their hopes of notching up their first win in the tournament.

Earlier in the day, the Women in Green had an excellent start after sending England in at the R Premadasa Stadium. Captain Fatima Sana picked up three wickets with the new ball, and along with her partner Diana Baig reduced England to 39/4. The spinners’ introduction made it worse as they slid to 78/7 before play was halted at the end of the 25th over. They gathered some momentum post the restart as they added 54 runs in the remaining six overs. Charlie Dean top-scored for them with 33 off 51 balls, while Em Arlott scored 18 as their 47-run partnership for the eighth wicket powered England to 133/9. Meanwhile, Pakistan skipper Fatima ended with impressive figures of 4/27 in six overs, while left-arm spinner Sadia Iqbal picked up two wickets.
