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.
