COLOMBO (Kashmir English): Pakistan women’s cricket team ended with three points, that too from three abandoned fixtures, and bowed out of the Women’s World Cup second from the bottom on the points table.
The Green Shirts ended with three points and a negative net run rate of 2.65 as their last group game against Sri Lanka was abandoned on Friday due to persistent rain at the R Premadasa Stadium.
Just 4.2 overs of play took place before officials called off the game, which was earlier reduced to 34 overs due to rain.
The Green Shirts ended the event with three points from seven games. They lost four, while three of their fixtures were washed out.
Pakistan’s winless campaign saw them finish seventh in the Women’s World Cup 2025 standings, only ahead of Bangladesh, who have two with a game in hand.
Green Shirts kicked off their World Cup campaign with a seven-wicket defeat against Bangladesh before suffering an 88-run humiliating defeat at the hands of arch-rivals India.
Rain played spoilsport in three Pakistan games. Pakistan also suffered a humbling 150-run defeat at the hands of semi-final-bound South Africa before their last group match against Sri Lanka was eventually called off.
