But once India’s bowlers struck, the innings fell apart. Deepti Sharma, Shree Charani, Amanjot Kaur, and Sneh Rana shared seven wickets, restricting Sri Lanka to 211 in 45.4 overs.

India’s win sets a positive tone for the rest of the tournament, showing depth in batting and flexibility in bowling. Sri Lanka will need a stronger response in their upcoming matches if they want to stay competitive.
