IND-W vs SL-W| Athapaththu and Samarawickrama's batting blitz secures Sri Lanka's maiden Asia Cup title
Sri Lanka beat India by eight wickets in the Asia Cup final at Dambulla. India scored 165/6 in 20 overs, with Smriti Mandhana's half-century and Richa Ghosh's late cameo whereas an 87-run partnership between Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama secured Sri Lanka's maiden Asia Cup title.
In response, Sri Lanka had a shaky start losing Vishmi Gunaratne to Pooja Vastrakar in the second over. However, Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama quickly turned the game around, building a 65-run partnership that brought Sri Lanka to 72/1 after nine overs. The Sri Lankan captain played brilliantly, scoring a half-century off just 33 balls. The duo dominated the Indian bowlers until the 12th over until Athapaththu’s dismissal for a well-played 61 off 43 balls. Samarawickrama and Dilhari then continued to guide Sri Lanka's chase adding 41 runs and bringing the score to 132/2 in 16 overs. With eight wickets in hand and only 34 runs needed from 24 balls, the match was in Sri Lanka's favour. Samarawickrama's 43-ball fifty further dashed India's hopes, and ultimately, Dilhari sealed the victory with a six in the 19th over giving Sri Lanka a decisive eight-wicket win and their first Asia Cup title.
Well done

Worst ever fielding and worst bowling in the final match by the Indian Women cricket team.
Chamari Athapaththu deserves to win.
