Sri Lanka Women beat Indonesia Women by 75 runs in the Women’s Twenty20 Asia Cup, defending 124/7 before restricting Indonesia to 49 in 18.3 overs. Player of the Match Chamari Athapaththu produced the defining spell with seven wickets, while Nilakshika Silva’s 50 gave Sri Lanka the innings-defining contribution in Group B.

Sri Lanka’s 124/7 from 20 overs proved far beyond Indonesia’s reach. Silva anchored the effort with 50 runs, supported by Kawya Kavindi and Sanjana Kavindi, who each made 15. Indonesia’s bowlers did keep Sri Lanka from breaking away completely: Ni Luh Dewi claimed three wickets, Sang Maypriani took two, and Sofia Velic picked up one.

But the chase was dominated by Athapaththu. Her seven-wicket haul dismantled Indonesia’s pursuit and ensured there would be no route back after Sri Lanka’s competitive first-innings total. Kavisha Dilhari and Sugandika Kumari also took a wicket apiece as Indonesia were held to 49.

Ni Made Putri Suwandewi was Indonesia’s top scorer with 12 runs, with Rahmawati Pangestuti making 10 and Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini contributing seven. No batter was able to establish the partnership required to challenge the target, and Sri Lanka completed a comprehensive 75-run victory.
