IND-W Win by 59 Runs | India vs Sri Lanka Highlights of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025: Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana Shine as Harmanpreet Kaur-led Side Secure Comprehensive Win

That's it; the Harmanpreet Kaur-led India have defeated Chamari Athapaththu's Sri Lanka by 59 runs by DLS method in match one of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Sri Lanka were in the run-chase when Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama stitched a second-wicket partnership. Once that was broken, Indian bowlers chipped wickets at regular intervals, which derailed Sri Lanka's innings. Earlier, India's batting depth came in handy as they posted a challenging total after being slumped to 124/6 at one stage. A winning start for India, and this will give them huge confidence when they meet arch-rivals Pakistan in their second group stage match on Sunday.
