Welcome to the live coverage of Match 25 of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday, October 24, 2025. Both sides are out of contention for a place in the semi-finals, but will look to salvage some pride before the end of their World Cup journey.
Catch the ball-by-ball commentary from the PAK-W vs SL-W match right here:
Sri Lanka are sixth in the table with four points and a net run rate (NRR) of -1.035. India’s 53-run win over New Zealand ended Sri Lanka’s hopes of progression. Despite their last-over win against Bangladesh, the Lankans needed results elsewhere to go their way to keep them in mathematical contention, which proved not to be the case.
Pakistan, meanwhile, are yet to win a single match in the tournament and sit at the bottom of the table with two points. The Women in Green will hope to go out on a high with an unlikely win over the home side.
