CRICKET
India vs Sri Lanka Highlights, Women's T20 World Cup 2024: India beat Sri Lanka by 82 runs, cross New Zealand's NRR.
The upcoming match between Harmanpreet Kaur's Indian team and Chamari Athapaththu's Sri Lankan team at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday holds significant importance for both sides. India will be seeking redemption after their loss to Sri Lanka in the Women's Asia Cup final earlier this year. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will be aiming to secure another victory to keep their hopes alive of advancing to the knockout stages.
Sri Lanka's defeats to Pakistan and Australia at the start of the tournament have put them in a precarious position, requiring them to win their remaining matches to have a chance at reaching the semi-finals. On the other hand, India will need to minimize errors following their recent heavy defeat against New Zealand.
Follow highlights of India W vs Sri Lanka W from Dubai here.
Deepti Sharma is back in the attack. Prabodani is given out lbw, but she decides to review the decision. The ball tracker reveals that the delivery was actually going down the leg side. Prabodani survives and manages to score two runs through covers on the third delivery.
Sugandika is out! She toe-edges on a sweep and Richa makes a fantastic low catch. Sri Lanka has decided to review the decision, but there is a clear spike on UltraEdge. The catch is clean as well. India now has their seventh wicket.
Nilakshika attempted an on-side slog but ended up getting a leading edge, resulting in her being caught inside the ring on the off side.
Another wicket! Dilhari tried to go for a sweep but ended up getting a leading edge to Renuka Thakur at short fine leg.
Deepti Sharma is now bowling. Sanjeewani is looking sharp out there. She's keeping the runs coming and working on building a solid partnership. Dilhari smacks the ball down the field and ends up with a triple.
Ranaweera is bowling her third over. Jemimah hits a FOUR with a sweep shot. Sri Lanka calls for a DRS for an lbw appeal. Harmanpreet attempts to play a sweep shot to fine leg, but there is a clear bat involved, causing Sri Lanka to lose their review.
Mandhana tried to cut the ball, but there was some confusion with Shafali. The fielder at cover quickly grabbed the ball and threw it to the non-striker's end. Chamari removed the bails and Mandhana was just short of the crease.
And now Shafali Verma is out! Two wickets in two balls. She got a leading edge to covers.
Dilhari bowls a wide to start off. Mandhana tries to sweep but hits it off the toe end, no run. Next, Dilhari bowls a short-pitched delivery, Mandhana rocks back and pulls it to deep square leg for a single. Shafali tries to heave over mid-wicket but only manages to get a single.
Smriti hits another boundary with an inside-out shot over the mid-off fielder! India is playing some excellent cricket here, constantly rotating the strike and managing to score at least one boundary every over.
Shafali couldn't find the gap, so she decided to loft the ball instead! Her favorite shot - over mid-off for a boundary! She sweeps once more, and a slight misfield at midwicket allows her to pick up a couple of runs.
Shafali hit the ball towards deep extra cover for a single on the first ball. Smriti then quickly took a single to give Shafali the strike back. Next, Smriti charged and smacked the ball towards deep midwicket for another single.
Sri Lanka Women (Playing XI): Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu(c), Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani(w), Ama Kanchana, Sugandika Kumari, Inoshi Priyadharshani, Udeshika Prabodhani, Inoka Ranaweera

Harmanpreet Kaur: We gonna bat first, so far we haven't batted first so thought we will have a bat and put a decent total on the board. Feeling better (talking about her neck injury), if we play better cricket maybe I will feel more better. Asia Cup we played good cricket, one odd day (talking about the final where India lose to Sri Lanka) they played good cricket. We are going with the same eleven we played in the same game.
