Sri Lanka search for their first win in CWC25

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first against South Africa in a crunch ICC Women's World Cup 2025 encounter in Colombo.

South Africa, after facing defeat in their opening match against England, have won three in a row, with the last two wins being close chases against India and Bangladesh.
