India Women Vs Sri Lanka Women, 1st T20I: Jemimah Rodrigues Stars In Women In Blue's Emphatic 8-Wicket Win Over Lanka

India Women rout Sri Lanka Women by 8 wickets with 32 balls to spare in the 1st T20I at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, December 21.

After being put in to bat first by India, Sri Lanka were restricted to just 121/6 by the Indian bowlers in 20 overs. The Indian bowlers were so on point with the ball today that, despite their shabby fielding, Lankan batters could also not open up throughout the innings and were confined to a sub-par score of 121. Vishmi Gunaratne was the highest scorer for SL, but she also consumed 43 balls for her 39.

Jemimah's Blitz Made Light Work Of Chase

Despite having a below-par chase at hand, Indian women didn't let their guard down and showed intent from the get-go. Despite losing the dangerous Shafali Verma (9) early, the duo of Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues carried on to stitch a quick 54-run stand for the 2nd wicket and took the fizz out of the target.

After Mandhana departed, Jemimah still kept going on with her sumptuous hitting and took India home along with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur. Jemimah was adjudged as the Player of the Match for her blistering 69 not out off 44 balls. India now lead the five-match series by 1-0.

Check out the highlights and play-by-play of the 1st T20U between IND-W and SL-W.
