The hosts made the most of this boost, and kept going at their target at a steady pace. Despite losing Athapaththu (61 from 43) in the 12th over, Samarawickrama (69* from 51) and Kavisha Dilhari (30* from 16) helped Sri Lanka finish the game in the 19th over.
This win is another feather in the cap for Athapaththu’s Sri Lanka. They won the Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier earlier in the year to qualify for the Women’s T20 World Cup in Bangladesh. Prior to that, they had secured a 2-1 series win over South Africa away from home.
