Sun May 11 04:20:00 UTC 2025: **Cricket News: Ranaweera Claims Key Wicket as Rawal Falls for 30**
In a crucial turning point in today’s match, Sri Lankan bowler Inoka Ranaweera dismissed key batter Pratika Rawal, caught by Piumi Badalge for 30 runs. Rawal’s innings, which included four boundaries, lasted 49 balls before her dismissal. The wicket came after a period of steady run scoring by Rawal and her partner Smriti Mandhana, who contributed several singles and boundaries of their own. While Mandhana continued to contribute runs following Rawal’s departure, the loss of Rawal provided a significant boost to the Sri Lankan team. The partnership between Rawal and Mandhana saw several singles accumulated through well-placed shots, but Ranaweera ultimately broke the stand with a crucial catch. Mandhana, however, went on to score consecutive boundaries later in the innings.
