Ahead of their Women's T20 World Cup opening match against South Africa at the Newlands Cricket Ground, Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu revealed she told the youngsters in her side to not take any pressure of the tournament on their shoulders.

Chamari, the talismanic top-order batter is accompanied by a Sri Lanka squad with several young stars, including 17-year-old all-rounder Vishmi Gunaratne, who recently captained the team in the U19 Women's T20 World Cup in South Africa last month and 20-year-old batting all-rounder Kaushani Nuthyangana.
