Women's World Cup: Hasini Perera’s Fluent 85 In Vain As Shorna Akter Spins Sri Lanka Out For 202
DY Patil Stadium: Hasini Perera’s outstanding knock of 85 off 99 balls was the lone bright spot as Sri Lanka Women collapsed to 202 all out in 48.4 overs after opting to bat first against Bangladesh Women on a good surface in the 21st match of the ICC Women's World Cup at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai, on Monday.
What once looked like a platform for a total of around 270-280 unravelled completely under the pressure of Bangladesh’s spin attack, led brilliantly by leg-spinner Shorna Akter, who returned impressive figures of 3 for 27.
The innings began on a shaky note when opener Vishmi Gunaratne was dismissed off the very first ball of the match — a superb inswinger from Marufa Akter that rattled the stumps. However, captain Chamari Athapaththu and Perera steadied the innings with a fluent 72-run stand for the second wicket, playing some crisp strokes and rotating the strike smartly.
