Opener G Trisha’s composed 49 and pacers’ excellent new ball spell fashioned India’s lopsided 60-run win over Sri Lanka and their entry into the Super Six of the ICC U19 T20 Women’s World Cup as Group A toppers on Thursday. On a spiteful pitch, Trisha’s 44-ball knock (5×4, 1×6) was worth its weight in gold as it guided India to a competitive 118 for nine. Pacers VJ Joshitha and Shabnam then tore through the Lankan top-order to reduce them to 9 for four in 3.2 overs, and run out of skipper Manudi Nanayakkara an over later had them reeling at 12 for five.
Sri Lanka were eventually restricted to 58 for nine in 20 overs as India finished the group engagements with all-win record in three matches.
