Women’s World Cup: 'Bugs Break' Halts Play, India Reach 154/4 In Clash With Pakistan
ODI World Cup: Unusual scenes unfolded at the R. Premadasa Stadium during the high-profile clash between India and Pakistan in the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup as play was halted to allow ground staff to carry out pest control measures.
Persistent rain in Colombo over the past few days has led to a surge in bugs across the outfield, causing visible discomfort and distraction for players from both sides during the match. Once 34 overs were done, the match officials decided to temporarily walk off the field so that the ground could be cleared of bugs and make playing conditions better.
The interruption, though unexpected, will not affect the match duration as it is understood that the expected halt of 15 minutes will be compensated by shortening the innings break, and no overs will be deducted. At the time of interruption, India had reached 154/4 in 34 overs, with Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma unbeaten on 28 and two respectively.
