Parshavi Chopra’s stunning leg-spin bowling led India to a seven-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the second Super Six match of the inaugural ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup in Potchefstroom.
After losing to Australia just one day before, they demonstrated tenacity and resilience.

India knew they needed to beat Sri Lanka convincingly in order to advance to the tournament’s semi-finals.
Chopra bowled a spell of precision and deception, taking four wickets for just five runs in four brilliant overs that included a maiden.

Among them was Sri Lanka captain Vishmi Gunaratne, who was bowled while advancing down the wicket.
She attempted traditional leg-spin, but Chopra served up a googly, and the ball slipped past Gunaratne and crashed into off-stump.

After being named Player of the Match in the ICC Women’s U19 T20 World Cup 2023 Super 6 match between India and Sri Lanka at JB Marks Oval, Parshavi Chopra of India poses with Max Jordaan, LOC Government and Stakeholder Manager.

At the time, Sri Lanka’s captain was on 25 (28 balls, two boundaries), while the rest of her side had collapsed around her, having been inserted by India.
Chopra’s incisive spell reduced Sri Lanka to 59 for nine in their allotted 20 overs, with only Umaya Rathnayake (13 from 36 balls) reaching double figures with the bat.

India’s determination to recover quickly was evident in their miserliness; only one wide was given away in the extras column.
Mannat Kashyap finished with two for 16, while Titas Sadhu started the collapse with the first ball of the day.

The pursuit from India was equally tenacious.
Shafali Verma, the captain, admitted in her post-match interview that the team set a target of eight overs to win and they met it.
She led the charge with a six and a four in her 10-ball 15, while the in-form Shweta Sehrawat was caught off guard for 13 just as she was getting into her stride.
Dewmi Wijerathne took three wickets, including Richa Ghosh, who hit her first ball to the fence and was caught off the next.

Sri Lanka had no answer for the free-scoring Soumya Tiwari, who hit five boundaries on her way to 28 not out from 15 deliveries.
She jumped on anything loose as India significantly improved their net run rate, reaching their target in 7.2 overs.

India now awaits the outcome of their Super Six group with bated breath.
They have six points, while Australia and Bangladesh each have four.
Both teams still have one more match to play, both against the UAE, and net run-rate will be a deciding factor if they both win.

The post India beat Sri Lanka by 91 runs to win the series 2-1 appeared first on Republic Aeon.

The first T20 International match was played between India Cricket team and Sri Lanka Cricket team at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday.

The Indian team included Sanju Samson in the playing 11, but the Kerala batsmen failed to capitalize on the opportunity. Samson was sent by the Indian team to bat in the fourth order. But he became the victim of Dhananjay De Silva by scoring 5 runs in 6 balls.

Sanju Samson has been in and out of the Indian team for a long time. The fan following of Samson’s batting is tremendous. In the IPL, Sanju Samson has shown that he has the potential to become a great batsman by playing many brilliant innings.

Recently, Rishabh Pant was injured and to replace him, many veterans stamped the name of Sanju Samson. However, Sanju Samson could not capitalize on the ‘Golden Chance’ he got in the first T20 International match against Sri Lanka and returned to the dugout early.

Pant’s successor
The fans were very disappointed due to the early dismissal of Sanju Samson. Fans also criticized Sanju Samson a lot on social media. Please tell that Sanju Samson is being considered as a suitable alternative to the injured Rishabh Pant.

From cricket pundits to fans say that Sanju Samson is the strongest contender to replace Pant in terms of excellent batting with wicketkeeping. Fans are unhappy with Pant’s irresponsible attitude and the Indian batsman has been heavily criticized for this.

India won the match
The Indian team defeated Sri Lanka by 2 runs in a thrilling match. In the match played at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, Team India accepted the invitation to bat first and scored 162 runs losing 5 wickets in 20 overs on the basis of brilliant innings by Deepak Hooda (41 *) and Akshar Patel (31 *).

In response, the Sri Lankan team could score 160 runs in 20 overs. With this, the Indian team led by Hardik Pandya took a 1-0 lead in the three T20 International series. The second T20 International match between the two teams will be played in Pune on Thursday.
