The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 is currently underway at five venues, spread across India and Sri Lanka. With all teams having played at least one game so far in the marquee tournament, the battle
now gets intense with big matches planned for ahead. While the defending champions will take the field once again as they are set to lock horns with Sri Lanka Women in Colombo, India Women will take the field on Sunday, October 5.
The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side is scheduled to play against Pakistan Women at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on October 5 in a highly-anticipated clash. While the Women in Blue have been unbeaten so far against their arch-rivals, they will hope to continue their domination, making it 12 straight wins.
Snake halts India Women’s training session ahead of CWC 2025 clash vs PAK-W
As the Women in Blue prepare for the key game, they saw an unwanted visitor during their training session at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colmbo on Friday evening. As they hit the nets ahead of the key game, a common rat snake was spotted moving along the drains and stands. The visit of an unexpected visitor although created a light-hearted atmosphere, it drew amused reactions from the Indian cricketers, support staff and other representatives.
While a presence of snake has been a common site in Sri Lanka. Notably, this wasn’t the first instance as a rat snake, also known as ‘Garandiya’ is common spotted during Lanka Premier League (LPL) matches and other international games. Seeing this, a ground official said, as quoted by TOI, “It’s not venomous. It doesn’t bite. It’s a Garandiya, just looking for rats.”
