Headline: India Women Complete Series Whitewash Against Sri Lanka with 15-Run Victory in Final T20I
Thiruvananthapuram, India – The Indian women’s cricket team completed a dominant 5-0 series whitewash against Sri Lanka, securing a 15-run victory in the fifth and final T20I held here on Tuesday.
India, batting first, posted a total of 175 for seven, thanks to a captain’s knock of 68 runs off 43 balls from Harmanpreet Kaur. Kaur’s innings proved crucial after Sri Lankan bowlers initially troubled the Indian top order on a slightly challenging pitch.
In response, Sri Lanka fought hard, with Imesha Dulani (50) and Hasini Perera (65) both scoring half-centuries. However, they ultimately fell short, managing only 160 for seven in their 20 overs. India’s bowlers put on a strong display, with all six bowlers used picking up wickets and keeping the pressure on the Sri Lankan batting lineup.
Adding to the celebratory mood, Indian spinner Deepti Sharma achieved a significant milestone during the match, becoming the highest wicket-taker in women’s T20Is with 152 wickets, surpassing Australia’s Megan Schutt (151).
The victory cemented India’s dominance in the series and provided a positive conclusion to their home campaign against Sri Lanka.
