Sri Lanka Women rounded off their first-ever T20I series victory against West Indies with an emphatic nine-wicket win in Grenada on Tuesday, March 3. One-nil down, the hosts had an opportunity to level the series at best, after the first game fell prey to rain, but suffered from yet another poor batting display.
It was Sri Lanka’s first bilateral series win against West Indies in seven attempts. Perera was adjudged the Player of the Match, while Chamari Athapaththu bagged the Player of the Series award.
Brief Scores: West Indies 119/5 in 20 overs (Chinelle Henry 32*, Deandra Dottin 28, Inoka Ranaweera 2-16, Sugandika Kumari 2-32) lost to Sri Lanka 121/1 in 17.4 overs (Hasini Perera 52*, Imesha Dulani 34*, Afy Fletcher 1-14) by nine wickets.
