The second game of the three-match ODI series between Sri Lanka Women and West Indies Women will be played on Tuesday, June 18. The Galle International Stadium will be hosting this encounter.
The first ODI was played on Saturday. A solid all-around effort from the Sri Lanka Women saw them emerge victorious to get an early lead in the series. They made full use of the home conditions and outplayed the West Indies Women.
After being asked to bat first, the West Indies batters got starts but failed to convert them into big scores. Skipper Hayley Matthews top-scored with 38 for them as they got bundled out on 195. Sugandika Kumari and Kavisha Dilhari picked up three wickets each for the hosts.
In reply, contributions from Vishmi Gunaratne (40), Chamari Athapaththu (38), Harshitha Samarawickrama (44*) and Hasini Perera (43) helped them chase down the total in 34.1 overs. Afy Fletcher and Aaliyah Alleyne grabbed two scalps each for West Indies Women but they failed to defend the total.
It was an impressive performance from the Sri Lanka Women in the first ODI. They will be looking to carry forward the winning momentum and seal the series on Tuesday itself. The West Indies Women, meanwhile, will have to fire in unison to force the series to a decider.
