Sri Lanka and South Africa play each other in a Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 fixture on Friday at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
The co-hosts are looking for their first win of the tournament with rain playing a major spoilsport in their campaign. Meanwhile, South Africa is coming into the fixture having sealed two thrillers in its favour in Vizag.
The two sides met in ODIs earlier this year in a tri-series at this very venue also featuring India.
