ICC Women's Cricket World Cup: Rain To Play Spoilsport Again? Here's Colombo's 10-Day Weather Forecast
Match 5 of ICC Women's World Cup 2025, between Australia and Sri Lanka, was abandoned due to rain, and there could more interruptions in the games to come. Check out the rain prediction for the next 10 days in Colombo, which is hosting teams at R Premadasa Stadium
Summary
Three down, at least eight more to go. Colombo's R Premadasa Stadium is in the thick of ICC Women's World Cup 2025 action, hosting a number of games, including the India vs Pakistan encounter the past Sunday (October 5).
But a rain cloud hovers over the matches to come. At the time of writing this, Australia were struggling against Pakistan in match 9 of the tournament at what is also known as the Khettarama Stadium.
While the ongoing match has not seen an interruption yet, showers are not out of bounds and covers could well make an appearance at a later stage.
The Aussies' previous game against Sri Lanka at the same venue has already been washed out and more downpour could wreak havoc on teams' chances as well as spectators and organisers.
