India completely outplayed Sri Lanka in all departments
The Sri Lanka Women's side batted first in the contest after winning the toss. Indian pacer Renuka Singh rendered the decision incorrect with her sensational spell, wreaking havoc on the batting unit.
In addition to two unfortunate run-out dismissals, Renuka scalped three wickets within the first powerplay, leaving Sri Lanka reeling at 16/5 in 5.2 overs. They could never recover from that precarious situation. Inoka Ranaweera (18*) and Oshadi Ranasinghe (13) chipped in with mini contributions in the lower order to help them reach 65/9 in 20 overs.
In response, Smriti Mandhana stroked her way to an assertive half-century and perfectly complemented the dominant performance of the bowling unit. In the company of Harmanpreet Kaur (11*), Mandhana finished the chase in style with a six in the 9th over.
Speaking at the post-match presentation, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur reflected on the title-winning campaign and said:
"We are pleased with the performance. Our bowling and fielding was outstanding today, especially the fielding I felt. We kept the pressure on the Sri Lankan batting and that told, so that was really good from us."
She added:
"It is important to adapt to the conditions on offer, both with the ball and in the field, we did that today. With the bat, we weren't looking at the score that much, we were more interested in the gaps and played according to the merit of the ball and that worked well for us."
