In the next over, captain Manudi Nanayakkara was run out and half of her team reached the pavilion by 12 runs. Sri Lanka’s team could score only 58 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs. India ended its group-stage campaign with three wins in three matches. For Sri Lanka, only Rashmika Sewandi (15 runs in 12 balls) could score in double digits.
She was looking in good rhythm but while trying to hit a big shot on the ball of Parunika Sisodiya (2 wickets for 7 runs) to reduce the required run rate, she was caught out by Mithila Vinod. Ayushi Shukla (1/13) and Vaishnavi Sharma (1/3 in four overs), who took five wickets for five runs against Malaysia, also did not allow the Sri Lankan batsmen to score any runs.
