South Africa and Sri Lanka will have one eye on the rain as they face off in a must-win match No. 18 of the ICC Women ODI World Cup 2025 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday. Hosts Sri Lanka are at the bottom of the table with only 2 points – both courtesy washed out games in Colombo so far.
The last two games at this venue have both been washed out due to rain and there is possibility of more wet weather on Friday as well. Laura Wolvaardt’s SA team will be hoping that they can sneak out a quick win over Lanka to keep their hopes of qualifying for the semifinals alive. They currently have 6 points from 4 matches with a solitary loss in their opening match against England.
South Africans enjoy an overall edge in the head-to-head record against the Sri Lankans with 16 wins and six losses but since 2024 both teams have 2 wins each to their name. The Colombo weather forecast doesn’t look very promising as rains are predicted from afternoon heading into the evening.
Both teams are unlikely to make any changes to their playing 11. Sri Lanka made some changes to their bowling attack but with the second innings against New Zealand getting washed out, they weren’t able to test it out.
The first semi-finalist at #CWC25 has been confirmed, but who will join Australia in the final four?
