Sri Lanka claimed a seven-wicket win over Bangladesh as they continued their winning start to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023.
They were reduced to 26 for three in the power-play but Harshitha Samarawickrama’s 69 not out and Nilakshi de Silva’s unbeaten 41 at the other end, ensured Sri Lanka made it two wins in the space of three
days at Newlands.
Bangladesh posted a total of 126 for eight in Cape Town as Oshadi Ranasinghe’s three for 23 restricted them to a below-par total.
This is Sri Lanka’s first ever back-to-back wins at a Women’s T20 World Cup after beating hosts South Africa by two runs in the curtain-raiser, and extends their impressive start in Group A.
Scores:
Bangladesh 126 for eight in 20 overs (Sobhana Mostary 29, Nigar Sultana 28; Oshadi Ranasinghe 3/23, Chamari Athapaththu 2/19)
Sri Lanka 129/3 in 18.2 overs (Harshitha Samarawickrama 69 not out, Nilakshi de Silva 41 not out; Marufa Akter 3/23)
