IND W vs SL W: Team India defeated Sri Lanka, won the series 5-0 and played the bugle for the World Cup.

Sri Lanka Tour of India: The Indian women’s team has proved its mettle before the T20 World Cup and has made a clean sweep of Sri Lanka 5-0 in the five-match series. In the last thrilling match played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, India defeated Sri Lanka by 15 runs.

Let us tell you that the captaincy innings of Harmanpreet and the finishing touch of Arundhati made the Indian team, who came to bat first after losing the toss in the match, have had a very poor start. Star opener Smriti Mandhana was not a part of this match and was replaced by 17-year-old G. Kamalini was given a chance to debut.

Harmanpreet Kaur took charge

Shefali Verma returned to the pavilion after scoring only 5 runs and Kamalini could also score only 12 runs. At one time the Indian team looked to be in trouble, but captain Harmanpreet Kaur took charge. He played an explosive inning of 68 runs in 43 balls, which included 9 fours and a six. In the end, Arundhati Reddy played a brilliant inning of 27 runs in just 11 balls, taking India’s score to 175 runs and setting a target of 176 runs for Sri Lanka.

Disappointing start of Sri Lankan team

Sri Lanka’s counterattack and the grip of Indian bowlers. The start of the Sri Lankan team, which came to chase the big target of 176 runs, was also disappointing. Captain Chamari Atapattu was out in the second over after scoring only 2 runs. However, the brilliant 86-run partnership between Hasini Perera and Imesha Dulhani did create some concern in the Indian camp. Perera batted brilliantly and scored 65 runs.

As long as Perera was at the crease, Sri Lanka’s hopes were alive, but as soon as he was out in the 17th over, the Sri Lankan innings faltered. 34 runs were needed to win in the last 2 overs, but the Sri Lankan team could score only 160 runs in the stipulated 20 overs.
