Match Report

‌On a humid evening at Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium, India Women chased down 249 in 45.2 overs to beat Sri Lanka Women by six wickets, courtesy of a match-winning 89 from captain Jemimah Rodrigues and a disciplined bowling display early on.

Sri Lanka opted to bat after losing the toss, and got off to a rocky start against India’s new-ball seamers, losing two early wickets inside ten overs. Harshitha Samarawickrama then blunted the attack with a measured 77 (94), finding boundaries off spinners and pacers alike. A mid-innings lull saw the run rate dip, but a late crease-occupation by wicketkeeper MAA Sanjeewani (36 off 40) and a quick cameo from DB Silva lifted the total to 248/9. India’s spin twin-threat of Sneh Rana and Anjali Reddy exploited the second-innings tackiness, combining for 5 wickets in the middle overs.

India’s chase began steadily — Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana negotiated the new ball— and, despite a loose spell from Mandhana, the platform was laid for Rodrigues. The skipper’s 89 (102) blended caution with aggression, rotating strike expertly before unleashing on the spinners. Harmanpreet Kaur’s brisk 58* in the death overs ensured India reached 249/4 with nearly five overs unused. Beneath floodlights, India’s calm chase reflected both their depth and composure under pressure.

Overall, it was a contest marked by resilience from both sides, but India’s top-order class and spinners’ early strikes proved decisive in this low-scoring thriller.
