Sneh, Amanjot Star As India Win Tri-series After Beating Sri Lanka By 97 Runs
After vice-captain Smriti Mandhana led a stellar batting effort to help India post a mammoth 342/7 in their 50 overs, Sneh stepped up to once again be India's standout bowler, as she picked up another four-wicket haul. On the other hand, Amanjot yet again impressed with a three-fer as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 245 in 48.2 overs and become runners-up of this tri-series.
A chase of 343 was always going to be an uphill task for Sri Lanka, and they were never really in it, despite their Chamari Athapaththu making 51. Now, on losing the tri-series final, Sri Lanka will be wondering what could have been had they bowled with more penetration or could have made the most of their fielding chances, especially of dropping Smriti on 21 off Inoka Ranaweera’s bowling.
