WWC 2025: Australia, Sri Lanka share points from washout in Colombo
[]
The Island
Sri Lanka will probably be the happier team to get a point out of their washout against world champions Australia in Colombo on Saturday.
Australia continue to top the table with three points and Sri Lanka have jumped to fifth place, but with a negative net run rate of -1.255.
Australia were the favourites for this game – like they are in the tournament – as Sri Lanka have never beaten them in international cricket across 11 ODIs and eight T20Is.
Australia had flown into Colombo on Thursday from Indore and will continue to stay in Colombo to play Pakistan on October 8 before flying to Visakhapatnam to face India on October 9.
Colombo is also set to host the India vs Pakistan match on Sunday, and the weather forecast doesn’t look too optimistic for that either.
