Giving a successful start in batting, New Zealand captain Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates stood out as they built a partnership of 51 runs in 36 balls for the first wicket.
The New Zealand bowlers managed to send both the opening batsmen of the Sri Lankan women’s team back to the stadium just for fourteen runs. At the end of the scheduled 20 overs, the Sri Lankan batsmen managed to score only 102 runs. Nilakshi de Silva scored 36 runs but it was not enough for victory. Hayley Jensen, who bowled excellently, managed to take 3 wickets for 5 runs in the 4 overs with one maiden over. Accordingly, the New Zealand women’s team won the match easily by 45 runs.
The Sri Lanka women’s cricket team had to be disqualified from the tournament after losing both the matches they participated in in the preliminary round. However, the final match Sri Lanka will participate in will be held tomorrow against the South African women’s team.
England and New Zealand women’s teams managed to secure semi-final spots from Group B with one game remaining each.

இலங்கை மகளிர் கிரிக்கெட் அணியின் பதக்க கனவு கலைந்தது…
பொதுநலவாய விளையாட்டுப் போட்டிகளின் கீழ் நடைபெற்ற மகளிர் T20 போட்டியின் B குழுவில் இலங்கை மற்றும் நியூசிலாந்து அணிகளுக்கு இடையில் நேற்று இடம்பெற்ற போட்டியில் நியூசிலாந்து மகளிர் அணி 45 ஓட்டங்களால் வெற்றிபெற்றது.
முதலில் பேட் செய்த நியூசிலாந்து மகளிர் கிரிக்கெட் அணி இருபது ஓவர்கள் முடிவில் 7 விக்கெட் இழப்புக்கு 147 ரன்கள் எடுத்தது. பேட்டிங்கில் வெற்றிகரமான தொடக்கத்தை அளித்த நியூசிலாந்து கேப்டன் சோஃபி டிவைன் மற்றும் சுசி பேட்ஸ் முதல் விக்கெட்டுக்கு 36 பந்துகளில் 51 ரன்கள் சேர்த்தனர்.
இலங்கை மகளிர் அணியின் ஆரம்ப துடுப்பாட்ட வீராங்கனைகள் இருவரையும் வெறும் பதினான்கு ஓட்டங்களுக்கு நியூசிலாந்து பந்துவீச்சாளர்கள் மைதானத்திற்கு திருப்பி அனுப்பினார்கள். நிர்ணயிக்கப்பட்ட 20 ஓவர்கள் முடிவில் இலங்கை அணியால் 102 ரன்கள் மட்டுமே எடுக்க முடிந்தது. நிலக்ஷி டி சில்வா 36 ரன்கள் எடுத்தாலும் வெற்றிக்கு அது போதவில்லை. சிறப்பாக பந்துவீசிய ஹெய்லி ஜென்சன் ஒரு மெய்டன் ஓவரில் 4 ஓவர்களில் 5 ரன்களுக்கு 3 விக்கெட்டுகளை வீழ்த்தினார். அதன்படி, நியூசிலாந்து மகளிர் அணி 45 ரன்கள் வித்தியாசத்தில் எளிதாக வெற்றி பெற்றது.
இலங்கை மகளிர் கிரிக்கட் அணி ஆரம்ப சுற்றில் தாம் பங்குபற்றிய இரண்டு போட்டிகளிலும் தோல்வியடைந்ததையடுத்து போட்டியிலிருந்து தகுதி நீக்கம் செய்ய வேண்டியதாயிற்று. எவ்வாறாயினும், இலங்கை பங்கேற்கும் இறுதிப் போட்டி தென்னாபிரிக்க மகளிர் அணிக்கு எதிராக நாளை நடைபெறவுள்ளது.
இங்கிலாந்து மற்றும் நியூசிலாந்து மகளிர் அணிகள் தலா ஒரு ஆட்டம் எஞ்சியிருக்கும் நிலையில் பி பிரிவில் இருந்து அரையிறுதிக்கு முன்னேறின.
