The Indian Women’s cricket team has taken a commanding position in an ongoing T20 World Cup match against Sri Lanka Women at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. After winning the toss, India Women elected to bat first, setting a target of 173 runs for their opponents.
India reached a formidable total of 172 for 3 at the end of their 20-over innings. Opening batsmen set a strong foundation, capitalizing on opportunities presented by the Sri Lankan bowling attack. The Indian lineup displayed a balanced performance with contributions from both top and middle-order batters, ensuring a competitive score for Sri Lanka to chase.
In response, Sri Lanka Women have had a rocky start. After just two balls faced, they are currently at 0 runs for the loss of 1 wicket. The opening batsman, Vishmi Rajapaksha Gunaratne, is not out but is yet to score. Renuka Thakur, a key player in the Indian bowling squad, has already made a significant impact by taking an early wicket, placing Sri Lanka under immediate pressure.
Renuka Thakur’s delivery proved too challenging for the Sri Lankan top order, signaling a tough chase ahead for Sri Lanka Women, who now need another 173 runs in the remaining 19.4 overs to secure a victory.
