Sanjana Kavindi top scored for Sri Lanka with 31 runs off 35 balls while Shashini Gimhani kept the scoreboard with 22 runs. The Sri Lankan batsmen tried to hang on for a while but struggled to build big partnerships throughout their innings. A strong bowling attack led by Radha Yadav (4 wickets), Prema Rawat (2 wickets) and Tanuja Kanwar (2 wickets) produced regular success and restricted Sri Lanka A to a comfortable total.

In reply, India A Women chased down the target easily, scoring 119 for 5 in just 13.3 overs to win by 5 wickets. The chase was completed thanks to some restrained batting by the top-order batsmen, which allowed the Indian team to pace their innings beautifully and keep the required run rate under control. Their aggressive approach in the middle overs helped them sustain more runs than they needed, which eased them off a lot of pressure in the second half of the match. For India, Dinesh Vrinda scored 42, Radha Yadav scored 31 and Anushka Sharma scored 27.
