List of all washed out matches in Women’s World Cup 2025

At the end of the Women’s World Cup 2025 , there would be a lot of questions raised, over the scheduling of the tournament and the picking of the hosts. And after IND vs BAN match on Sunday, the last league game of the competition in Navi Mumbai, ended without a result due to rain, it is only fair that tough questions are asked. Co-hosts India and Sri Lanka witnessed six washed out matches — 5 in Colombo and 1 in Navi Mumbi, which is just mind-boggling. If not for these, perhaps the complexion of the tournament would have been a little different. Maybe team like Pakistan, who finished winless, would have posted an upset victory over England. Perhaps, New Zealand, who had two washed out matches, could have won both and be in the semis, instead of India. Who knows. That said, it is time now to see the list of all the washed out matches in Women’s World Cup 2025.

‘Perform kar, warna bitha dunga’: How Gautam Gambhir scolded Harshit Rana & gave him ultimatum

With him being a constant figure in most of India’s squads led to a meltdown among fans and put pressure on the Delhi lad. His first two outings in the series were forgettable as well, with just two wickets for 86 runs, and his place was hanging by a thread.

Chamari Athapathathu and Co fail to weather storm, Sri Lanka crash out of Women’s World Cup 2025

Sri Lanka’s first chance at hosting a Women’s World Cup ended on a sour note on Friday. The co-hosts crashed after a wash out in their final game of Women’s World Cup 2025.
