India battled hard after an early collapse but eventually fell victim to England’s experienced players, who held firm and secured an historic triumph.

Dunkley and Alice Davidson-Richards tried hard, but England were always going to struggle against such a high target. Harmanpreet Kaur, Lisa Sthalekar and Shree Charani’s bowling attack kept England in check.
England’s batsmen performed admirably during England’s second innings, managing to keep up with the run rate but weren’t able to mount any sort of comeback; Kaur and Jemima Rodrigues combined for an outstanding 110-run stand for third wicket to put this match out of reach.
England were undone by poor fielding in the final overs. Deepti Sharma made a diving one-handed catch to dismiss Jones and Rodrigues caught Dean tumbling for a wicket during one over.
Kranti Goud, who replaced Ellyse Perry after she sustained an injury, stood out with her performance in the final over. She took two wickets while conceding only two runs;
Lamb attempted two sweeps off Goud but both were unsuccessful before hitting an excellent short ball from Yadav for four runs off one short ball from Yadav to set England up to victory with just 28 needed from Yadav in that last over. Thanks to Lamb’s skillful strokes they achieved it!

Brunt Elwiss responded well but some devastating hitting from Eshani Lokusuriyage who hit five sixes off Dean brought Sri Lanka within touching distance of victory.

Sri Lanka’s challenge waned quickly when captain Chamari Athapaththu left in discomfort after six overs of their chase with what appeared to be a hamstring injury in what proved an enormous blow for their hosts.
While their remaining batsmen did well to maintain composure until Nilakshika Prabodani was caught at square leg off a delivery from Dean that took her out for 164 runs off 45.4 overs – meaning Sri Lanka are yet to win in this tournament; though still with chances of making the semi-finals!
