Watch: Parshavi Chopra bamboozles Vishmi Gunaratne with incredible delivery in U-19 Women's T20 World Cup
Parshavi Chopra bowled one of the best deliveries in the U-19 Women's T20 World Cup to scalp Vishmi Gunaratane's wicket during the game between India and Sri Lanka earlier today.
India cruised to a comfortable win in the clash against Sri Lanka. The Islanders were asked to bat first at the Senwes Park in Potchefstroom. India brought their 'A' game to the table and restricted their opponents to 59-9 in their allotted 20 overs.
Vishmi Gunaratane was the top run-scorer for Sri Lanka with a 28-ball 25. She smacked two fours in her knock before Parshavi Chopra scalped her wicket. Leg-spin bowler Chopra bowled a googly that deceived Gunaratane and hit her stumps.

Vishmi Gunaratne attempted to convert the ball into a full toss and danced down the track to nullify the spin. However, she missed the ball and was bowled around her legs.
Fans have loved the dismissal, as the Instagram reel of Parshavi's googly has earned close to 100,000 likes on ICC's Instagram page.
