New Zealand and Pakistan have everything to play for when they take the field in the upcoming Women's World Cup 2025 fixture at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Saturday. The matches in Colombo have been marred by rain, and several ties have been abandoned, leaving the fate of many teams in the tournament in limbo. The White Ferns are currently in the fifth spot in the points table with 3 points from four matches.
On the other hand, Pakistan, which got ever-so-close in pulling off a miraculous win against England, are positioned in the eighth spot in the standings with 1 point from four matches. Pakistan are all but out of the semi-finals race, but New Zealand are in a scramble alongside England, South Africa and India in order to make the top four.
Rain is once again predicted on Saturday, and we might have another washout on the cards. Fingers crossed, we get a game in the eight-team tournament.
