Sri Lanka pulled off a legendary recovery at the Women’s Asia Cup! After a shaky 62/6 start, Nilakshika Silva’s gritty fifty saved the day. Then, skipper Chamari Athapaththu unleashed chaos, securing a career-best 7/5 spell—including a lethal hat-trick. Indonesia crumbled for just 49 runs, handing Sri Lanka a massive 75-run victory. This historic dominance cements their status as serious tournament contenders.
