COLOMBO: A torrential downpour once again called the tune in Colombo as the Women’s Cricket World Cup fixture between Pakistan and Sri Lanka was abandoned after just 4.2 overs on Friday.
Heavy rain refused to relent, leaving players and fans drenched in disappointment. It was the last game in the Colombo leg of the tournament.
Of the 11 matches staged in the Sri Lankan capital, five ended in no-results, forcing teams to split points.
Several other games too were rain-disrupted, prompting questions as to whether Colombo’s monsoon-prone month was the right window to stage a global event.
Both Pakistan and Sri Lanka have borne the brunt of inclement weather, with three of their seven outings each washed down the drain.
