"Sharma (53) and Amanjot Kaur (57) shared a seventh-wicket stand of 103 to help India post 269 for eight from an innings reduced to 47 overs by wet weather. India had slipped to 124 for six after losing four wickets for four runs in the space of 11 balls during a middle-order collapse. The spinner Inoka Ranaweera was the pick of Sri Lanka's bowlers in the northeast Indian city of Guwahati, finishing with figures of four for 46."
"Sharma then took three wickets for 54, dismissing Sri Lanka's captain and top scorer Chamari Athapaththu for 43. Her second-wicket stand of 52 with Harshitha Samarawickrama (29) had kept the visitors in the game but Sri Lanka could not continue their progress. Nilakshika Silva (35) was then dismissed by Rana as India bowled out their opponents for 211 in the 46th over, securing victory in front of a crowd of 22,843."
"Ranaweera took the wickets of Harleen Deol (48), Jemimah Rodrigues (0) and captain Harmanpreet Kaur (21) in the 26th over. Ranaweera was also responsible for one of four dropped catches on Amanjot as India dug in. Amanjot was finally caught by Vishmi Gunaratne off the bowling of Udeshika Prabodhbani, with tail-ender Sneh Rana adding 28 not out. Sharma then took three wickets for 54, dismissing Sri Lanka's captain and top scorer Chamari Athapaththu for 43."
Deepti Sharma scored 53 and took three wickets to influence India’s rain-reduced 47-over innings, while Amanjot Kaur made 57 and shared a 103-run seventh-wicket partnership. India recovered from 124 for six after a middle-order collapse to post 269 for eight. Inoka Ranaweera claimed four for 46, removing Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur, and caused pressure with dropped catches on Amanjot. Sri Lanka were bowled out for 211 in the 46th over, with Nilakshika Silva top-scoring 35, giving India a 59-run victory by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
