Women's World Cup: SLC Confirm No Serious Injury To Gunaratne After Painful Knee Blow Against South Africa
The Sri Lanka Cricket: Rain once again played spoilsport at the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 in Colombo, but Sri Lanka received a welcome piece of news amid the interruptions — opener Vishmi Gunaratne has escaped serious injury after being forced to retire hurt during their group-stage clash against South Africa Women at the R. Premadasa International Stadium on Friday.
The Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) medical team confirmed the development after assessments were conducted during the rain delay. “Vishmi Gunaratne retired hurt while batting after the ball struck her left knee while attempting to complete a run in the ongoing game against South Africa. She is currently receiving treatment, and medical assessments have confirmed that no serious injury has been sustained. Team management has confirmed that Gunaratne will return to bat,” SLC posted on X.
The incident occurred early in Sri Lanka’s innings when Gunaratne, attempting a quick single, injured her left knee while sliding her bat into the crease. The 19-year-old opener was visibly in pain and had to be stretchered off the field, leaving the hosts temporarily a batter short.
