Women's T20 WC: Athapaththu's Blazing Start, Nilakshika's Calm Finish Keep Sri Lanka's Semis Hope Alive
Captain Chamari Athapaththu: Captain Chamari Athapaththu's explosive start and Nilakshika Silva's composed unbeaten finish helped Sri Lanka pull off their highest successful chase in ICC Women's T20 World Cup history, edging Scotland by three wickets with one ball to spare to keep their semi-final hopes alive on Saturday.
The stunning win also saw Sri Lanka register their first-ever three victories in a single Women's T20 World Cup tournament, to jump to third spot in Group B. England have already booked their semi-final berth, with Sri Lanka joining West Indies and New Zealand in the race for the second spot in the group.
Having been put to bat first, Scotland were off to a slow start but managed to post a competitive 151 for six on the back of contributions from Sarah Bryce and Ailsa Lister.
