India captain Harmpreet Kaur addresses the reason of defeat

“We are looking to improve in some areas. We will definitely work hard and remember this day. They have played such good cricket for so long and they played good cricket throughout this tournament,” Harmanpreet said in the post-match presentation. The Indian captain pointed to her team’s bowling as a major area of concern.

“We played good cricket throughout the tournament and, no doubt, we made a lot of fumbles today and that cost us.

“It was a decent total, we were looking for breakthroughs in the powerplay but it didn’t go according to plan and Sri Lanka batted really well,” she added.

The defeat marks a significant setback for India, who will now have to regroup quickly and address the issues that led to their downfall in the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup final.

Sri Lanka skipper Chamari Athapaththu hails her team’s performance

“I am really happy about our team performance, especially the batting performances,” said the winning captain, Athapaththu.

“We have played really good cricket in the last 12 months and we want to continue it. Never saw such a crowd, so special thanks go to the Sri Lankan people who came out to watch the game.

Sri Lanka emerged victorious in the Women’s Asia Cup 2024, defeating India by eight wickets in a thrilling final at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. Despite India’s strong performance in the group stage and semi-final against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka outplayed them in the high-stakes match. Key performances from Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama ensured Sri Lanka’s triumph in the tournament.

India sets a challenging target

After being asked to bat first, India posted a competitive total of 165 for six in their allotted 20 overs. Smriti Mandhana, continuing her stellar form from the semi-final, laid a solid foundation with a superb knock of 60 off 47 balls, featuring 10 boundaries. Mandhana’s 44-run opening partnership set the tone for India’s innings.

However, the middle order struggled as Uma Chetry and Harmanpreet Kaur failed to make significant contributions. Despite these setbacks, Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh steadied the ship. Rodrigues scored a quickfire 29 off 16 balls, while Ghosh a??dded 30 off 14 balls, ensuring India maintained their momentum. Kavisha Dilhari was the standout bowler for?? Sri Lanka, with figures of 4-0-36-2, while Udeshika Prabodhani, Sachini Nisansala, and Chamari Athapaththu each took a wicket.

Sri Lanka’s chase: A blend of stability and aggression

Sri Lanka’s run chase got off to a shaky start with Vishmi Gunaratne being run out early. However, Athapaththu and Samarawickrama anchored the innings, forming a crucial 87-run partnership for the second wicket. Athapaththu, who scored over 300 runs in the tournament, reached her half-century off just 32 balls, showcasing her aggressive intent.

Deepti Sharma provided a breakthrough for India, bowling Athapaththu around her legs for 61 off 43 balls. Despite this setback, Sri Lanka needed 72 runs off the final eight overs. Samarawickrama took charge, remaining unbeaten with a composed 69-run knock. Dilhari played a vital supporting role, contributing an unbeaten 30 off 16 balls. This ensured Sri Lanka reached the target with eight balls to spare, ending their four-match losing streak against India in the Women’s Asia Cup finals.

Historic Women’s Asia Cup 2024 title

This victory marked Sri Lanka’s resurgence in the Women’s Asia Cup, with their only other non-Indian winner being Bangladesh in 2018. The win not only showcased Sri Lanka’s cricketing prowess but also highlighted their ability to perform under pressure. The final was a testament to their skill and determination, as they outclassed a formidable Indian side to claim the prestigious title.

In a stunning display of dominance, India Women triumphed over Bangladesh Women by 10 wickets in the first Semi-Final of the Women’s Asia Cup T20 2024 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium.

Disciplined bowling keep Bangladesh batters at bay

Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Bangladesh Women struggled against a disciplined Indian bowling attack, managing to score only 80 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Bangladesh’s innings never gained momentum, with wickets falling at regular intervals. Nigar Sultana was the standou?t performer with a gritty 32 runs of?f 51 balls, including two boundaries.

Shorna Akter provided some resistance with 19 runs off 18 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup failed to make significant contributions. Renuka Thakur Singh was the star with the ball for India, taking 3 wickets for just 10 runs in her 4 overs. Radha Yadav also shone, claiming 3 wickets for 14 runs. Deepti Sharma and Pooja Vastrakar chipped in with a wicket each.

Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana take India home

Chasing a modest target of 81 runs, the Indian openers, Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana, made light work of the Bangladeshi bowlers. The duo remained unbeaten, steering India to victory in just 11 overs. Mandhana was particularly aggressive, scoring 55 runs off 39 balls, featuring nin??e boundaries and a six. Shafali supported her well ??with 26 runs off 28 balls. The Bangladeshi bowlers were unable to create any breakthroughs, with all five bowlers used proving ineffective against the Indian batters.

India’s comprehensive victory was sealed with Smriti hitting the winning runs, marking a dominant performance in all facets of the game. Renuka was rightfully named the Player of the Match for her exceptional bowling spell that set the tone for India’s victory.

With this win, India Women advance to the final of the Women’s Asia Cup T20 2024, showcasing their superiority and intent to clinch the coveted title. Bangladesh Women, despite their efforts, were outclassed and will need to reflect on their performance as they exit the tournament. The final promises to be an exciting contest as India Women continue their quest for glory.

In Match 12 of Group B in the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 at Dambulla on Wednesday (July 24), Sri Lanka Women delivered a commanding performance, securing a comprehensive 10-wicket victory over Thailand Women. Sri Lanka successfully?? chased down the target of 94 in just 11.3 overs without losing a?? wicket, showcasing their dominance in the ongoing tournament.

Thailand struggle to build momentum

Thailand, opting to bat first, struggled to build momentum against a disciplined Sri Lankan bowling attack. They managed to score 93/7 in their 20 overs. Nannapat Koncharoenkai was the standout performer with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 47 off 53 balls, including five boundaries. Despite her resilient innings, Thailand’s batters found it difficult to form substantial partnerships, leading to a modest total.

Thailand’s innings began on a shaky note, losing Nattaya Boochatham for a duck on the very first ball, bowled by Achini Kulasuriya. Aphisara Suwanchonrathi tried to provide some stability with a quick 12 off 9 balls but fell to Fernando. Phannita Maya (2 off 18 balls) and Chanida Sutthiruang (4 off 3 balls) couldn’t contribute much, as the wickets continued to tumble.

Sri Lanka’s bowlers were in top form, with Kavisha Dilhari leading the way, taking 2 wickets for just 13 runs in her 4-over spell. Inoshi Priyadharshani, Chamari Athapaththu, Sugandika Kumari and Achini Kulasuriya each chipped in with a wicket apiece, keeping Thailand’s scoring rate in check throughou??t the innings.

Vishmi Gunaratne and Chamari Athapaththu lead the charge for Sri Lanka

Chasing a modest target of 94, Sri Lanka made light work of the task, reaching the target in just 11.3 overs. Vishmi Gunaratne and Chamari Athapaththu provided a perfect start, both remaining unbeaten to ensure a comprehensive victory. Gunaratne scored a steady 39 off 34 balls, including four boundaries and one six, anchoring the chase with confidence. Athapaththu, the Sri Lankan c?aptain, played a blistering knock, scoring 49 off just 35 balls with two fours and four sixes, finishing the match in style.

Thailand’s bowlers struggled to make any impact on the Sri Lankan openers. Chanida Sutthiruang was the most economical, conceding 18 runs in her 3 overs. Boochatham and Thipatcha Putthawong tried to contain the run flow but were unable to break the opening partnership. Onnicha Kamchomphu and Maya were the most expensive, conceding 22 and 17 runs respec?tively in their short spells.
