Pakistan and Sri Lanka's final group stage match at the 2025 Women's World Cup ended in a washout. Here's what the points table looks like.
Pakistan, Sri Lanka end World Cup campaign after fifth washout at Colombo
The final match of the tournament to be held in Colombo got off to an inauspicious start as rain pushed the toss back from 2:30pm local time. The wait to get on the field ended up being over three hours long.

There eventually was a toss scheduled at 5:10pm local time for a 38-over match, before another spell of rain pushed that back to 5:45, and made it a 34-over contest with a start time of 6:15pm. Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana won, and elected to bat first.

Openers Muneeba Ali and Omaima Sohail made it to 18-0 in 4.2 overs, before the rain once again began to fall. The players never made it back onto the field, and play was officially called off at 8:06pm. It's the fifth match in Colombo at this tournament to end without a result.
Sri Lanka have moved to fifth in the points table, but will go no further after the four semi-finalists were confirmed yesterday. Pakistan move off the foot of the table, into seventh. Both sides suffered three washouts, with all of Pakistan's points coming from these matches; meaning each side only completed four of their scheduled matches.
They may both count themselves unlucky with two games in particular; Sri Lanka were in pole position to beat New Zealand, and Pakistan could well have toppled England in previous fixtures before rain played spoilsport.
