India showcased a dominant batting performance as they avenged their Asia Cup loss to Sri Lanka, securing an 82-run victory in the Women’s T20 World Cup. This NRR-boosting win came at the Dubai International Stadium, pushing India’s Net Run Rate above New Zealand’s, making their semifinal qualification more likely. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, was eliminated after their third consecutive defeat.
India, led by powerful performances from captain Harmanpreet Kaur (52* off 27), Smriti Mandhana (50 off 38), and Shafali Verma (43), set a massive target of 172/3. The Indian openers, Verma and Mandhana, laid a solid foundation with a 98-run opening stand. Despite a couple of quick dismissals, Harmanpreet’s aggressive stroke play ensured India finished strong with the highest total in the tournament so far.
Sri Lanka, facing an uphill battle, could not recover from early wickets as Renuka Thakur, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, and Arundhati Reddy dismantled their batting lineup. India’s fielding was also on point, with Radha Yadav pulling off a spectacular catch. Sri Lanka collapsed to 90 all out in 19.5 overs, handing India their largest T20 World Cup win by runs.
