In difficult conditions for batting, Trisha hit five fours and one six in her innings of 44 balls, which helped India score a competitive score of 118 runs for nine wickets. Mithila Vinod (16 runs in 10 balls) and VJ Joshitha (14 runs in nine balls) scored quickly in the last overs.
Sri Lanka could score 58 runs

In the next over, half of his team reached the pavilion after captain Manudi Nanayakkara was run out for 12 runs. Sri Lankan team could score only 58 runs for nine wickets in 20 overs.
Sri Lankan batsmen could not survive
India ended its group stage campaign with three wins in three matches. For Sri Lanka, only Rashmika Sewandi (15 runs in 12 balls) could score double digit runs. She was looking in good rhythm but while trying to hit a big shot on the ball of Parunika Sisodia (two wickets for seven runs) to reduce the required run rate, Mithila was caught by Vinod and out. Ayushi Shukla (one wicket for 13 runs) and Vaishnavi Sharma (one wicket for three runs in four overs), who took five wickets for five runs against Malaysia, also did not give Sri Lankan batsmen a chance to score runs.
