Samarawickrama and De Silva steer Sri Lanka to victory over Bangladesh

Published

Harshitha Samarawickrama and Nilakshi de Silva’s ice-cool hundred partnership steered Sri Lanka to a seven-wicket win over Bangladesh as they continued their winning start to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023.

Harshitha Samarawickrama and Nilakshi de Silva of Sri Lanka celebrate following the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup group A match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at Newlands Stadium on February 12, 2023, in Cape Town, South Africa.

Sri Lanka was reduced to 26 for three in the powerplay but Samarawickrama’s assured knock of 69 not out, coupled with De Silva’s unbeaten 41 at the other end, ensured Chamari Athapaththu’s side made it two wins in the space of three days at Newlands.

Bangladesh posted a total of 126 for eight in Cape Town as Oshadi Ranasinghe’s fine spell of three for 23 restricted them to a below-par total.

Laser-precise seamer Marufa Akter ripped through the Sri Lankan top order but Samarawickrama and De Silva steadied the ship to claim Sri Lanka’s first-ever back-to-back wins at a Women’s T20 World Cup and extend their impressive start in Group A.

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat in Cape Town – but it was Sri Lanka who landed the first blow in dramatic fashion.

Opening batter Murshida Khatun was run out after facing just a single delivery from a fabulous direct hit from Inoka Ranaweera at a short fine leg.

Sobhana Mostary and wicketkeeper Shamima Sultana set about laying the foundations for the innings before Shamima was stumped by opposite number Anushka Sanjeewani off the bowling of Ranasinghe for 20.

That brought Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana to the crease, who helped construct a patient partnership alongside No.3 Sobhana.

But it ended inside the 10th over when Sobhana was bowled by Athapaththu for 29.

Bangladesh was struggling to manufacture any form of meaningful partnership and wickets continued to fall at regular intervals throughout the innings.

Shamima succumbed to Ranasinghe for 28 before the off-spinner claimed her third victim by getting Lata Mondal stumped for 11.

That left Shamim a’s side with considerable work to do during the final five overs, but Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni and Nahida Akter were all dismissed cheaply to leave them with a total of 126 for eight at the halfway stage.

Sri Lanka may have fancied their chances setting out in pursuit of a chasable-looking target – but Marufu had other ideas after being handed the ball by Shamima under the Cape Town lights.

The accurate seamer remarkably removed Athapaththu, Vishmi Gunaratne and Sanjeewani without conceding a single run in her spell, tearing through the Sri Lankan top order to leave them reeling at 26 for three inside the powerplay.

But that brought the composed duo of Samarawickrama and De Silva to the crease, who set about the recovery mission with alacrity and continued to chip away at the total.

And they showed no signs of letting their ever-increasing grip on the game slip, bringing up their hundred partnership in the 19th over and guiding their country to a historic second win on the spin at Newlands.

Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh at Cape Town by seven wickets

Bangladesh 126 for eight in 20 overs (Sobhana Mostary 29, Nigar Sultana 28; Oshadi Ranasinghe 3/23, Chamari Athapaththu 2/19)

Sri Lanka 129/3 in 18.2 overs (Harshitha Samarawickrama 69 not out, Nilakshi de Silva 41 not out; Marufa Akter 3/23)

Laser-precise seamer Marufa Akter ශ්‍රී ලංකා ප්‍රමුඛ පෙළේ පිතිකරුවා බිඳ දැමූ නමුත් සමරවික්‍රම සහ ද සිල්වා කාන්තා T20 ලෝක කුසලාන තරඟාවලියකදී ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ පළමු පිට පිට ජයග්‍රහණ වාර්තා කිරීමටත් A කාණ්ඩයේ ඔවුන්ගේ ආකර්ෂණීය ආරම්භය දිගු කිරීමටත් නැව ස්ථාවර කළහ.

බංගලිදේශය කේප් ටවුන්හිදී කාසියේ වාසිය දිනාගෙන පන්දුවට පහරදීමට තීරණය කළේය – නමුත් නාට්‍යමය ආකාරයෙන් පළමු පහර එල්ල කළේ ශ්‍රී ලංකාවයි.

ආරම්භක පිතිකරු මුර්ෂිදා ඛාතුන් දැවී ගියේ ඉනෝකා රණවීරගේ ශෝට් ෆයින් ලෙග්හි දී එල්ල කළ විශිෂ්ට සෘජු පහරකින් එකම පන්දුවකට මුහුණ දීමෙන් පසුවය.

සෝභනා මොස්ටාරි සහ කඩුලු රකින ක්‍රීඩිකාව වන ෂමීමා සුල්තානා ඉනිමට අඩිතාලම දැමීමට පෙර, රණසිංහගේ පන්දුවකට රණසිංහගේ පන්දුවකට ප්‍රතිවිරුද්ධ ශ්‍රේණිගත කිරීම්වල අනුෂ්කා සංජීවනීගේ පන්දුවක් හමුවේ ෂමීමා ස්ටම්ප් කිරීමකට ලක්විය.

ඒ අනුව අංක 3 සෝභනා සමඟ එක්ව ඉවසිලිවන්ත සබඳතාවයක් ගොඩනැංවීමට උදව් කළ බංග්ලාදේශ නායක නිගාර් සුල්තානා ක්‍රීඩාගාරයට ගෙන ආවේය.

එහෙත් එය 10 වැනි ඕවරය තුළදී නිමා වූයේ අතපත්තුගේ පන්දුවකට සෝභනා ලකුණු 29කට දැවී යාමත් සමඟය.

බංගලාදේශය ඕනෑම ආකාරයක අර්ථවත් සබඳතාවක් ගොඩනඟා ගැනීමට මහත් පරිශ්‍රමයක් දැරූ අතර ඉනිම පුරාවට නියමිත කාල සීමාවන්හිදී කඩුලු බිඳ වැටෙන්නට විය.

එහෙත්, එය සංයෝජිත වූ සමරවික්‍රම සහ ද සිල්වා යුගලය ක්‍රීස් එකට ගෙන ආ අතර, ඔවුන් ප්‍රකෘතිමත් වීමේ මෙහෙයුමට සූක්ෂම ලෙස ආරම්භ කළ අතර, මුළු ලකුණු සංඛ්‍යාවෙන් දිගටම බිඳ වැටුණි.

சமரவிக்ரம மற்றும் டி சில்வா ஆகியோர் இலங்கையை பங்களாதேஷுக்கு எதிரான வெற்றிக்கு அழைத்துச் சென்றனர்

ஹர்ஷிதா சமரவிக்ரம மற்றும் நிலக்ஷி டி சில்வாவின் ஐஸ்-கூல் சதம் பார்ட்னர்ஷிப் 2023 ஐசிசி மகளிர் டி 20 உலகக் கோப்பைக்கு வெற்றியைத் தொடர்ந்ததால், பங்களாதேஷுக்கு எதிராக இலங்கை ஏழு விக்கெட் வித்தியாசத்தில் வெற்றி பெற்றது.

தென்னாப்பிரிக்காவின் கேப்டவுனில் பிப்ரவரி 12, 2023 அன்று நியூலேண்ட்ஸ் ஸ்டேடியத்தில் வங்காளதேசம் மற்றும் இலங்கை அணிகளுக்கு இடையிலான ஐசிசி மகளிர் டி20 உலகக் கோப்பை குரூப் ஏ போட்டியைத் தொடர்ந்து இலங்கையின் ஹர்ஷிதா சமரவிக்ரம மற்றும் நிலக்ஷி டி சில்வா கொண்டாடினர்.

பவர்பிளேயில் இலங்கை 3 விக்கெட்டுக்கு 26 ஆகக் குறைக்கப்பட்டது, ஆனால் சமரவிக்ரமவின் உறுதியான ஆட்டமிழக்காமல் 69 ரன்களும், மறுமுனையில் டி சில்வாவின் ஆட்டமிழக்காமல் 41 ரன்களும் இணைந்து, சாமரி அத்தபத்துவின் தரப்பு நியூலாண்ட்ஸில் மூன்று நாட்களுக்குள் இரண்டு வெற்றிகளைப் பெற்றது.

வங்கதேசம் கேப்டவுனில் 8 விக்கெட்டுக்கு 126 ரன்கள் எடுத்தது, ஓஷதி ரணசிங்கவின் 23 ரன்களுக்கு 3 விக்கெட்டுகளை வீழ்த்தியது.

லேசர்-துல்லியமான சீமர் மருபா அக்டர் இலங்கையின் டாப் ஆர்டரைக் கிழித்தெறிந்தார், ஆனால் சமரவிக்ரம மற்றும் டி சில்வா ஆகியோர், பெண்கள் டி 20 உலகக் கோப்பையில் இலங்கையின் முதல் தொடர்ச்சியான வெற்றிகளைப் பெறுவதற்கும், குரூப் ஏயில் தங்கள் அற்புதமான தொடக்கத்தை நீட்டிப்பதற்கும் கப்பலை நிலைநிறுத்தினர்.

கேப்டவுனில் பங்களாதேஷ் டாஸ் வென்று பேட்டிங் தேர்வு செய்தது – ஆனால் வியத்தகு முறையில் முதல் அடியை வீசியது இலங்கை.

ஷார்ட் ஃபைன் லெக்கில் இனோகா ரணவீரவின் அபாரமான நேரடித் தாக்குதலால், தொடக்க வீரர் முர்ஷிதா கட்டூன் ஒரே ஒரு பந்து வீச்சை எதிர்கொண்டு ரன் அவுட் ஆனார்.

சோபனா மோஸ்டரி மற்றும் விக்கெட் கீப்பர் ஷமிமா சுல்தானா ஆகியோர் இன்னிங்ஸுக்கு அடித்தளம் அமைப்பதற்கு முன், ஷமிமா 20 ரன்களில் ரணசிங்கவின் பந்துவீச்சில் எதிர் தரப்பில் அனுஷ்கா சஞ்சீவனியால் ஸ்டம்பிங் செய்யப்பட்டார்.

அது பங்களாதேஷ் கேப்டன் நிகர் சுல்தானாவை கிரீஸுக்கு கொண்டு வந்தது, அவர் நம்பர்.3 சோபனாவுடன் இணைந்து பொறுமையான பார்ட்னர்ஷிப்பை உருவாக்க உதவினார்.

ஆனால் 10வது ஓவரில் சோபனா 29 ரன்களில் அதபத்துவின் பந்துவீச்சில் ஆட்டமிழந்தார்.

பங்களாதேஷ் எந்த விதமான அர்த்தமுள்ள பார்ட்னர்ஷிப்பை உருவாக்க முடியாமல் திணறிக் கொண்டிருந்தது மற்றும் இன்னிங்ஸ் முழுவதும் சீரான இடைவெளியில் விக்கெட்டுகள் தொடர்ந்து விழுந்தன.

ஷமிமா 28 ரன்களில் ரணசிங்கவிடம் சரணடைந்தார், அதற்கு முன் ஆஃப் ஸ்பின்னர் லதா மோண்டலை 11 ரன்களில் ஸ்டம்பிங் செய்து தனது மூன்றாவது பலியாகக் கூறினார்.

இது இறுதி ஐந்து ஓவர்களில் ஷமிமாவின் அணிக்கு கணிசமான வேலைகளைச் செய்ய வேண்டியிருந்தது, ஆனால் ஷோர்னா அக்டர், ரிது மோனி மற்றும் நஹிதா அக்டர் ஆகியோர் மலிவாக ஆட்டமிழந்தனர், அவர்கள் பாதியில் 8 விக்கெட்டுக்கு 126 ரன்கள் எடுத்தனர்.

துரத்தக்கூடிய-தேடக்கூடிய இலக்கை நோக்கிச் செல்வதற்கான வாய்ப்புகளை இலங்கை கற்பனை செய்திருக்கலாம் – ஆனால் கேப் டவுன் விளக்குகளின் கீழ் ஷமிமாவால் பந்தை ஒப்படைத்த பிறகு மரூஃபுக்கு வேறு யோசனைகள் இருந்தன.

துல்லியமான சீமர் குறிப்பிடத்தக்க வகையில் அதபத்து, விஷ்மி குணரத்னே மற்றும் சஞ்சீவனி ஆகியோரை அவரது ஸ்பெல்லில் ஒரு ரன் கூட விட்டுக்கொடுக்காமல் வெளியேற்றினார், பவர்பிளேயின் உள்ளே அவர்கள் 3 விக்கெட்டுக்கு 26 ரன்களில் தத்தளிக்க, இலங்கை டாப் ஆர்டரைக் கிழித்தார்.

ஆனால் அது சமரவிக்ரமா மற்றும் டி சில்வாவின் இசையமைத்த இரட்டையர்களை கிரீஸுக்கு கொண்டு வந்தது, அவர்கள் மீட்பு பணியை சுறுசுறுப்புடன் தொடங்கி, மொத்தத்தில் தொடர்ந்து வெளியேறினர்.

19வது ஓவரில் தங்களது நூறு பார்ட்னர்ஷிப்பைக் கொண்டு வந்து, நியூலேண்ட்ஸில் ஸ்பின்னில் வரலாற்றுச் சிறப்புமிக்க இரண்டாவது வெற்றிக்கு தங்கள் நாட்டை வழிநடத்தி, ஆட்டத்தில் தொடர்ந்து அதிகரித்து வரும் பிடியை அவர்கள் நழுவ விடுவதற்கான அறிகுறிகளைக் காட்டவில்லை.

கேப்டவுனில் நடந்த வங்கதேசத்தை 7 விக்கெட் வித்தியாசத்தில் வீழ்த்தியது இலங்கை

வங்கதேசம் 20 ஓவரில் 8 விக்கெட் இழப்புக்கு 126 (சோபனா மோஸ்டரி 29, நிகர் சுல்தானா 28; ஒஷாதி ரணசிங்க 3/23, சாமரி அதபத்து 2/19)

இலங்கை 18.2 ஓவர்களில் 129/3 (ஹர்ஷித சமரவிக்ரம ஆட்டமிழக்க 69, நிலக்ஷி டி சில்வா ஆட்டமிழக்காமல் 41; மருபா அக்டர் 3/23)
