India Women and Sri Lanka Women go head to head in the Women’s Asia Cup final at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet on October 15. Both the teams had a great run in the tournament so far. India defeated Thailand in the semifinal while Sri Lanka edged past Pakistan.

In a close contest between Sri Lanka and Pakistan women, Sri Lanka kept their cool and earned a 1-run win. Batting first Sri Lanka scored 122/6. Their bowlers did a fabulous job to limit the opposition to 121/6. Sri Lanka enters the Asia Cup final after 14 years.

“Lots of pressure but we stuck by the bowlers. I always thought that my bowlers could do a good job. We changed the batting order to change a few things. After 14 years, we are in the Asia Cup final, that’s good for us. First six overs they batted well, openers did well but we stuck to our plans. We knew that after six overs, it isn’t easy to hit boundaries, so just stuck to our plans” said Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu.

Inoka Ranaweera was chosen as the Player Of The Match for her spell of 2/17 in four overs. She shared her award with Achini Kulasuriya who bowled the final over and defended nine runs.
