Sri Lanka Women Innings – 147 All Out (38.1 Overs)
Sri Lanka Women started slowly but they were soon put on the wrong foot by tight bowling and sharp fieldwork of India. The innings never got any impetus and frequent wickets did not allow any partnerships to continue. Hasini Perera demonstrated early potential with a consistent 30, although her action led to the disintegration of the first-ranked. Captain Chamari Athapaththu struggled to get going and lost her wicket cheaply, putting even more pressure on the middle order. Harshitha Samarawickrama and Kavisha Dilhari tried to settle the innings but the run-outs and poor timing hindered.
Farther down the list, Anushka Sanjeewani and Achini Kulasuriya made some opposition, although by this time the damage was done. India bowled out Sri Lanka for just 147 runs, well below par on a surface that offered fair batting conditions.
