India beat Sri Lanka in Women's Asia Cup final - scorecard

India claimed victory over Sri Lanka in the Women's Asia Cup final, dismissing their opponents for 111 runs in precisely 20 overs. Chamari Athapaththu spearheaded the Sri Lankan effort with a team-high 36 runs off 32 balls, supported by Nilakshi de Silva's 22 and Vishmi Gunaratne's 20.

Other contributions remained minimal, as Harshitha Samarawickrama and Kaushini Nuthyangana each added nine, Kavisha Dilhari made seven, Imesha Dulani scored four, while Hasini Perera and Sugandika Dasanayaka managed just one run apiece, alongside ducks for Mithali Ayodhya and unbeaten Chamodi Praboda.

A lethal Indian attack consistently dismantled partnerships, propelled by Sree Charani's remarkable figures of 4 for 20 across four overs and Deepti Sharma's 3 for 19. Kranti Gaud removed Dulani in the opening over to finish with 1 for 8, while Shafali Verma took 1 for 23 and Prema Rawat claimed 1 for 22, aided by two stumpings from wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh and catches from Nandni Sharma and Gunalan Kamalini to secure the championship triumph.
