Jemimah Rodrigues Avoids One Run-Out Out Out Autage Against Pakistan
Not only this, Jemimah Rodrigues survived against Pakistan in the 30th over. Rodrigues pushed a Nashra Sandhu delivery for additional cover and tried a risky single. He accused the pitch, but a misunderstanding with his partner, Harlen Deol, almost went out.
Harlen Deol did not leave his crease at all, and Rodrigues had to dive the entire stretch in the crease because throwing from the fielder came fast, and she survived the run-outs narrowly. And then, Rodrigues punished Sandhu for an overpied delivery for a limit.
The ball came from around the wicket, and the Indian batsman moved forward, to send it to the fence to make it clean through additional cover.

India-Pakistan ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 Clash interrupted by a flock of flies in Colombo
Meanwhile, the India-Pakistan ICC Women’s World Cup is being interrupted by a flock of flies on the 2025 match ground, which clearly R in Colombo. Premdasa harasses players at the International Cricket Stadium. Sandhu tried to remove him with a towel, while some fielders consulted the umpire how to handle the situation.
A supporting staff member of Pakistan fled on the field with insect spray, and Captain Fatima Sana used it extensively, but the flies remained continuously. The Bhinbhinahat herd also collapsed closer to Rodrigues because he faced the last delivery, testing the players’ attention by adding an unexpected challenge to the game.
Heavy rains around Colombo have brought flocks of insects to the stadium, and they are harassing the players. To deal with the issue, the ground staff brought out the insect-control spray, leading to a 15-minute break at the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 Clash in Colombo. The innings interval will be shortened and made a break, so no over will be lost.
