Sri Lanka’s Dominating Batting Performance
Batting first Sri Lanka Women posted 148 off their twenty overs. A lower-order counter punch from Rashmika Sewwandi took Sri Lanka from a rather struggling to a fighting position with her unbeaten 36 off 19 deliveries. At the top of the order Sanjana Kavindi anchored the innings while the wickets were tumbling at the other end, Kavindi’s 30 off 38 set the tone for Rashmika Sewwandi to go berserk at the end of the innings.
