On a slow, twisting field, Sri Lanka decided to bat but crumbled in the tournament final in their first in 14 years. They only managed to score 65 for 9, which India defeated in 8.3 overs.
An Unforgettable Match For The Nation
The Sri Lankan squad, led by Chamari Athapaththu, was vying for their nation’s first-ever Asia Cup victory. Unfortunately, those dreams were dashed when Renuka Singh used a bullet throw to take out the captain. The islanders succumbed to tremendous pressure from the Indians by losing three wickets in three deliveries of the following over.
After taking those devastating blows, Sri Lanka never recovered and only managed to eke out a subpar total of 65 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Renuka Singh stole the show with three wickets. But, Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Sneh Rana provided support for the gifted bowler with two each.
At the halfway point, it appeared like the outcome was a done deal, and India’s explosive start in the second innings proved it. Despite the rapid falls of Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues, Smriti Mandhana was at her fluid best. The due led India to a straightforward victory with a half-century in 25 balls.
