Sri Lanka too good for Japan

Published

on

Sri Lanka Emerging Team registered a comfortable 68-run win over Japan in the second T20I worked off at Sano International Cricket Stadium yesterday.

Opting to bowl first, Japan was rewarded straight away when they struck with the very first ball to dismiss opener Sithara Hapuhinna to put early pressure on the visitors.

Despite a shaky start, Shehan Fernando and Sahil Dias put on a 46 runs partnership for the 3rd wicket to take them from 4-2 to 50-2.

Fernando top scored with 30, while Dias made 22 to take Sri Lanka to 125 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs. Imthiyas Slaza also contributed a quick fire 24 balls 27 from down the order to make sure Sri Lanka reached a defendable score.

Reo Sakurano was outstanding with the ball for Japan with figures of 4/25 in 4 overs.

In reply, Japan were never in the hunt as they were bundled out for just 57 runs inside the first 16 overs. None of their batters were able to impress, and only Souta Wada (11) and Wataru Miyauchi (10) were able to reach double figures.

On the bowling front, Imthiyas Slaza ripped through the Japan batting lineup with 3/5 in 3 overs, while Lakshan Gamage, Harshana Wickramasinghe and skipper Dellon Peiris scalped two apiece.

The win also saw Sri Lanka take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series, with the third game scheduled to be played on Saturday (13) at the same venue.

4 ஓவர்களில் 4/25 என்ற புள்ளிகளுடன் ஜப்பானின் பந்தில் ரியோ சகுரானோ சிறப்பாக இருந்தார்.

பதிலுக்கு துடுப்பெடுத்தாடிய ஜப்பான், முதல் 16 ஓவர்களில் வெறும் 57 ரன்களுக்கு ஆட்டமிழந்ததால், வேட்டையில் இறங்கவில்லை. அவர்களது பேட்ஸ் எவரும் ஈர்க்க முடியவில்லை, மேலும் சௌதா வாடா (11), வதாரு மியாவுச்சி (10) ஆகியோரால் மட்டுமே இரட்டை இலக்கங்களை எட்ட முடிந்தது.

Sri Lanka Women too strong for Bangladesh in second T20I

Published

By

Sri Lanka Women produced a polished all-round performance to defeat Bangladesh Women by 21 runs in the second T20I, sealing the series with a game to spare.

After being put into bat, the visitors posted a competitive 154 for 4 in their 20 overs, built on key contributions from skipper Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama. The innings began cautiously, with Hasini Perera falling early, but Athapaththu steadied the innings with a fluent 42 off 37 balls, striking six boundaries.

The momentum shifted significantly during the latter half as Samarawickrama played an aggressive knock of 49 off just 29 deliveries, including two sixes. She found good support from Imeesha Dulani (27) and Nilakshika Silva, who remained unbeaten on 22, ensuring Sri Lanka finished strongly at a healthy run rate of 7.70. Bangladesh’s bowlers shared the wickets, with Fariha Trisna, Sultana Khatun, Nahida Akter, and Ritu Moni picking up one apiece.

Chasing 155, Bangladesh made a steady start through Dilara Akter and Juairiya Ferdous, who added 46 for the opening wicket. However, regular breakthroughs and sharp fielding dented their progress. Ferdous scored a brisk 29, while Sharmin Akhter anchored the innings with an unbeaten 44, but lacked sufficient support from the middle order.

Sri Lanka’s discipline in the field proved decisive, effecting three crucial run-outs. Kavisha Dilhari was the standout with the ball, claiming 2 for 15 in her four overs, while Sugandika Kumari maintained excellent control, conceding just 14 runs.
Bangladesh eventually finished on 133 for 5, falling short despite a late push.
