Pakistan’s journey in the Women’s ODI World Cup continues to get tougher as they lock horns with Australia, hoping to get their campaign back on track.
Back-to-back losses to Bangladesh and India have made this match a virtual must-win for Fatima Sana’s team. They’ll be hoping that conditions in Colombo work in their favour. The weather remains unpredictable, but forecasts suggest a largely dry day with overcast skies. The surface at the R. Premadasa Stadium has been slow, offering turn and uneven bounce, factors that could help Pakistan stay competitive if they bowl first.
Australia enter the contest in near-invincible form, having won 27 of their last 32 ODIs since the previous World Cup. Pakistan, by contrast, have struggled for consistency, managing just 13 wins from 34 matches in the same period.
In 16 previous one-day internationals against Australia, Pakistan have never registered a win. Their closest defeats — by 37 runs and four wickets — date back to 2014. Since then, the gap has only widened. When they last met in early 2023, Australia swept the series 3–0, winning by eight wickets, ten wickets, and 101 runs.
