Sri Lankan players celebrate a dismissal
Sri Lanka cruised to a convincing 76-run win over Samoa in their ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup second warm-up match played in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia yesterday.
Sri Lanka electing to bat first notched 114 runs in 18.2 overs following two useful contributions from Sumudu Nisansala (23) and Aseni Thalagune (23 n.o).
In reply, Samoa were skittled out for 38 runs as Limansa Thilakaratne returned outstanding figures of 2.4-0-6-5 while Chamudi Praboda captured three wickets for six runs.
Sri Lanka will take on Malaysia in their Group ‘A’ opening fixture of the ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Africa qualifiers Nigeria have put the ICC Women’s U19 World Cup on notice, chasing down Scotland’s 62 in just 11.3 overs at the Royal Selangor Club in their warm-up match.
Elsewhere, New Zealand hit back after a warm-up outing defeat to the USA on day one, claiming victory over the West Indies in their second practice outing with a confident performance at the UKM Oval.
The USA went two from two with a victory over Nepal while Bangladesh claimed a Super Over win over England.
Alongside the Nigerians there were wins for Ireland, Australia and India.
Reeling at 66 for eight at one stage, England had recovered to 113 for nine from their 20 overs, with Prisha Thanawala (28) and Tilly Corteen-Coleman (23 not out) putting on 46 for the ninth wicket.
Phoebe Brett’s 3/32 and Davina Perrin’s 2/6 ensured a tough defence of the low total, with a run out from Charlotte Lambert and Corteen-Coleman denying a match-winning run off the final ball of Bangladesh’s innings.
A six from Sadia Akter lifted Bangladesh’s Super Over total to 113 before the calm of Habiba Islam Pinky closed out a tense win.
