Icc Womens T 20 World Cup 2024 News

India proved to be a class apart from Sri Lanka in the Women's T20 World Cup group stage fixture in Dubai on Wednesday as they ran away winners by 82 runs. Fifties from Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur took them to 172/3 before three scalps from Arundhati Reddy and Asha Shobhana sealed the deal.
