Chasing only 119 runs, the Manudi Nanayakkara-led side had a tough start with the bat. The top order collapsed in no time as Shabnam Shakil and Joshitha V J wreaked havoc in the powerplay. None of Sri Lanka’s batters could assert their dominance in the middle as the Indian bowlers barely gave them any breathing space. The dot balls only added more pressure and Sri Lanka kept losing wickets. Barring Rashmika Sewwandi, none of the batters could post in double digits. Sri Lanka were eventually bundled for 58 runs as India picked up a comfortable win at Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur. For India, Shakil, Joshita and Parunika Sisodia picked up two wickets each. Vaishnavi Sharma and Aayushi Shukla add to India’s wicket tally with one wicket each.
