Rain helps England escape defeat
Burton Mail
|October 16, 2025
ENGLAND were saved by the rain having seemingly been heading for defeat against Pakistan at the World Cup.
-
At 34 without loss, Pakistan appeared to be cruising towards an adjusted target of 113 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo when bad weather struck for a second time to force an abandonment.
The no result meant England's unbeaten record in the competition was preserved and they returned to top spot in the table while bottom side Pakistan were denied their first win. The outcome was especially tough on Pakistan, who had never beaten England in 15 previous one-day international meetings.
