SRI LANKA TURNS WORLD CUP'S FORBIDDEN VENUE

PAKISTAN HAD TO MAKE 186 IN 8 OVERS TO WIN IN FINAL RULING

- 

For the fifth time in the Women's Cricket World Cup, Sri Lanka showcased that the month of October was no time to play cricket, and of all events a World Cup, as some of the world's top women players were left kicking their heals watching the rain fall and turn the venue at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo into a watery graveyard.

Tuesday October 14 was no exception as players from South Africa and Pakistan had their match disrupted by rain as many as five times, a world record, that eventually put Pakistan at the receiving end of having to make 186 runs in just eight overs when the contest resumed for the last time past 9.30 pm. Pakistan resumed from 48 for 4 in 12 overs and the revised target was 234 in 20 overs.
