Harshitha Madavi stars in Sri Lankan Women’s comprehensive win over Thailand Women
Sri Lanka women's Harshitha Madavi opened and batted beautifully, and didn't allow the Thai bowlers to settle in. He played some brilliant strokes and scored 81 off 69 balls to help her side post 156 on the board.
The bowlers then stepped up and bowled well to restrict Thailand Women 107 to win the game by 49 runs. Madavi is in fine touch and will be eager to carry forward her rich form with the bat.
Thailand Women bowled well in the first half of the innings but leaked runs in the death overs. They failed to hit the right areas consistently and as a result conceded too many runs which they failed to defend.
They have now lost two consecutive games in the competition and need something special to turn the tables around.
