Rain denies Pakistan historic win as Women’s World Cup clash with England ends in no-result
- On October 15, 2025, persistent rain at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo forced the England women's cricket team vs Pakistan women's cricket team match to be abandoned as it did not reach 20 overs.
- After opting to field, Pakistan women's cricket team used swing and seam movement as Diana Baig and Fatima Sana struck early, removing key England women's cricket team batters.
- Fatima Sana's spell of 4 for 27 demonstrated that dominance, with England registering 124 dot balls in 186 deliveries and a 47-run eighth-wicket stand from Charlie Dean and Em Arlott.
- The no result meant England women's cricket team preserved their unbeaten record and returned to the top of the tournament table, while Pakistan women's cricket team shared points and left disappointed.
- Pakistan had been chasing a revised DLS target of 113 from 31 overs and scored 34 without loss early, well ahead of the required 14, despite never beating England in 15 previous one-day international meetings.
