New Zealand-Pakistan match washed out; South Africa qualifies for semifinals

Any confidence Pakistan carried into its Ladies’s ODI World Cup 2025 encounter towards New Zealand dissolved virtually as swiftly because the rains that interrupted play.

And the relentless showers had the ultimate say, forcing a 3rd washout in 4 matches right here on the R. Premadasa Stadium on Saturday.

The washout meant that South Africa turned the second crew, after Australia, to qualify for the semifinal.

For New Zealand, the end result presents little consolation. A stop-start marketing campaign marred by back-to-back washouts now leaves the White Ferns with must-win clashes towards India and England.

The scores: Pakistan 92/5 in 25 overs vs New Zealand. Toss: New Zealand. No end result.
