Women’s T20 WC: Harmanpreet, Smriti Smash Fifties As India Post 172/3 Against Sri Lanka
T20 World Cup: Half-centuries by captain Harmanpreet Kaur and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana ensured India posted 172/3, the highest total of this Women’s T20 World Cup, against Sri Lanka in a crucial Group A clash at the Dubai International Stadium on Wednesday.
After India had a splendid 98-run opening stand, where Smriti made a 38-ball fifty and Shafali Verma made 46, Sri Lanka fought back by dismissing the duo off successive deliveries. Harmanpreet applied perfect finishing touches by smoking pacers and spinners to hit a 27-ball fifty.
The Indian batters made good use of the crease, ran well between the wickets and found their groove to punish Sri Lanka, who would be ruing dropping simple catches of Harmanpreet and Jemimah Rodrigues.
