It was appaling to note that even yesterday’s dead rubber between Pakistan and Sri Lanka was ruined by rain ,
Rain is the winner at the RPICS for all scheduled matches
Pakistan skipper stated that ICC could have selected a better venue to host the multi tournament.
She has a strong point whilst appreciating Sri Lankan hospitality during their long stay in Sri Lanka Pakistan. Women cricketers became victims of circumstances due to political turmoil that restricted them from playing in India.
This is not cricket. Sad.
Pakistan must take the blame of losing their lung opener against Bangladesh. Sadly, they were not focused and completely outplayed ., their batting a flop.
Pakistan bowled out for 129 in 38.3 overs , Bangladesh 131 for 3 wickets in 31.3 overs. Bangladesh won by 7 wickets with 18.5 overs to spare. Loss number 1 for Pakistan.
India was in trouble against Pakistan in Pakistan’ s 2nd outing. Jammima Rodriguez departed for 32 with India on 159 for 5 wickets. Pakistan let Richa Ghose, Deepthi Sharma, and Sneha Rana dictate terms, and India got out of jail by scoring 247. Pakistan’s poor batting let them down yet again. Bowled out 159 Loss number 2.
Australia was under threat . The sword of Damocles hung around the neck of the mighty Kangaroos when they slumped to 76 for 7 wickets. Pakistan, as predicted, let the Aussie Camel creap into its tent. They let Beth Mooney score an unbeaten 109 , Alina King, her career best of 51 , and Australia stiched a defendable target of 221 for 9 wickets. Pakistan’s batting woes continue bowled out for 114 , loss number 3.
The game against England was not a slip between the cup and the lip but the presence of an Oman in the Pakistan camp. Rain reduced the overs to a 31 over contest, and the English batters made a mockery of themselves, with a below par score of 134 for 9 wickets. Obviously, the DLS equation came into effect in a reduced over game , and Pakistan was to get to a target of 113 for victory. The batting clicked at last , they made 34 for no loss in the run chase in 6.4 overs. The ugly droplinlings saved England as the monsoon rains saved England, who had to bowl without their 2 strike bowlers. Sophie Eccleston and Laura Bell. Opportunity lost for Pakistan in creating the first upset of World Cup 2025.
We have all heard the Beatles sing. Here comes the sun , but when New Zealand presented themselves at the RPICS, it was here comes the rain.
Pakistan put into bat were 92 for 5 wickets , in 25.5 overs , match ruined.

Pakistan would rather forget the rain reduced game against the Protease. South Africa put into bat thumped 312 runs for 9 wickets in 40 overs. Pakistan bowled out for 83. What a loss , loss number 4.
Yesterday, against Sri Lanka, another wash out. I inserted a para to cheer all of you with an example of Beatles hit on the weather, I will attach that song for your listening pleasure before you read the composure of Mother Sri Lanka and her woes with the weather. Happy intermediate reading and listening.
