Women’s T20 WC: Asha, Arundhati Pick Three-fers As India Thrash Sri Lanka By 82 Runs
The victory was set up by half-centuries from captain Harmanpreet Kaur and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, which took India to 172/3, the highest total of this Women’s T20 World Cup. In reply, Asha and Arundhati bagged 3-19 each as Sri Lanka, who lost their top three in the Power-play, were bowled out for 90 in 19.5 overs, as India got their highest-ever victory margin in Women’s T20 World Cups.
The big win also ensures India’s net run rate has shot up to 0.58 and they jumped to second place in Group A, ahead of Pakistan and New Zealand. India got their breakthrough in the opening over when Vishmi Gunaratne miscued a loft off Renuka Singh Thakur and substitute fielder Radha Yadav ran diagonally to her right and made a dive to her left to complete a stunning catch.
