Women's T20 WC: Pakistan Stun Sri Lanka In Opening Day Shock
Pakistan’s captain Sana made the crucial early breakthrough to remove Sri Lanka opener Chamari Athapathu and give hope that her side could successfully defend a relatively modest first-innings total. And her fellow bowlers kept things impressively tight, denying Sri Lanka boundaries and picking up frequent wickets as the scoring rate soared.
Only opener Vishmi Gunaratne (20 from 34) and Nilakshika Silva (22 from 25) reached double figures as Sri Lanka’s chase petered out, finishing on 85/9, still 31 runs shy of their target. It was a game in which the ball largely dominated the bat, with Sri Lanka’s bowlers also keeping Pakistan in check in the first innings, taking frequent wickets to restrict a batting lineup that proved unexpectedly fluid, with big-hitting skipper Sana top-scoring with 30 from 20 balls down the order - runs that proved match-winning in the final shake-up.
