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.

Out! Achini Kulasuriya dragged it straight towards the long-on region, where Smriti Mandhana took a simple catch. Shree Charani gets her second wicket. India are just one wicket away from a fantastic win. Achini Kulasuriya c Smriti Mandhana b Shree Charani 17(31)

Out! Sneh Rana raises her arms in celebration, and she looks to the heavens. A superb day for her, first with the bat and now with the ball. Second wicket of the match for the Indian spinner. Sri Lanka are on the verge of a big defeat here. Sugandika Kumari b Sneh Rana 10(19)

Out! Nilakshi de Silva attempted to play paddle-scoop, but she only managed to deflect onto the stumps. Spinner Sneh Rana gets her first wicket. India are just three wickets away from registering an easy win. Nilakshi de Silva b Sneh Rana 35(29) 

Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur takes a simple catch at the mid-wicket region, and Anushka Sanjeewani departs after scoring six runs. Deepti Sharma gets her third wicket, and India are marching towards a comfortable win here. Anushka Sanjeewani c Kaur b Deepti Sharma 6(10)

Out! An excellent catch by Richa Ghosh. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter anticipated the shot, and she moved to her left to take a fantastic catch. Kavisha Dilhari departs after scoring 15 runs. Sri Lanka are in deep trouble as India are chipping wickets at regular intervals. Kavisha Dilhari c Richa Ghosh b Deepti Sharma 15(12)

Out! Two wickets in two overs for India, and they are slowly dominating this contest. Speedster Amanjot Kaur gets her first wicket. Vishmi Gunaratne departs after scoring 11 runs. Sri Lanka are in a spot of bother here. Vishmi Gunaratne lbw b Amanjot Kaur 11(28)

Out! Sri Lanka lost Harshitha Samarawickrama but not the review. Shree Charani gets her first wicket. The left-handed batter crouched low and tried to play the pull, but missed and was struck on the back thigh. The umpire raised her finger. The Sri Lankan batter took the DRS, but the ball was crashing into the middle-stump, and the impact was umpire's call. Harshitha Samarawickrama lbw b Shree Charani 29(45) 

Out! There's the big wicket for India. Deepti Sharma is pumped as she removed Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu for 43 runs. The veteran batter was looking dangerous, and it's a timely wicket for the Women in Blue. The patience from Indian bowlers has finally paid off. Chamari Athapaththu b Deepti Sharma 43(47)

Out! An ugly shot, and the off stump has been knocked off. Hasini Perera departs after scoring 14 runs, and speedster Kranti Gaud gets the first breakthrough. The Sri Lankan opener got down on one knee and was looking to play a big shot. However, she missed the ball and her stumps were shattered. Hasini Perera b Kranti Gaud 14(20)

Chamari Athapaththu and Hasini Perera will start proceedings for Sri Lanka. Kranti Gaud opened the attack for India, and she gave away just two runs. There is some swing, and India will look to take a few wickets in the first power play. Meanwhile, the revised target as per DLS is 271, so only one run was added after the revision.

That's it from the first innings as India made 269/8 in 47 overs after three overs were lost due to rain. Sri Lanka will be livid with themselves after they rattled Team India to 124/6 at one stage. India were struggling at one stage after spinner Inoka Ranaweera took three wickets in an over. The left-arm spinner removed Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues and captain Harmanpreet Kaur. However, Amanjot Kaur and Deepti Sharma stitched a century stand that took the Women in Blue out of the dangerous situation. Amanjot made 57 runs, whereas Deepti played a crucial knock of 53 runs. Harleen missed her fifty by just two runs, as she was departed for 48 runs as India reached the fighting total. It's going to be a big chase for Sri Lanka.

Out! A stunner from Vishmi Gunaratne! Timely wicket for Sri Lanka, and it's a huge one. Amanjot Kaur departs after playing a fantastic knock of 57 runs. Vishmi Gunaratne's catch could easily have an impact of 10 runs on the India total. Amanjot Kaur c Vishmi Gunaratne b Udeshika Prabodhani 57(56)

Deepti Sharma and Amanjot Kaur will resume for India from where they left. Both Indian batters will look to finish the innings on a strong note. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will look to break this dangerous partnership and restrict India under the 250-run mark.

The covers are coming off. The umpires are also walking back to the middle. However, we have lost an over each - 47 overs per side now. The match will start at 7:20 PM IST.

Oh dear, the rain has returned once again. Covers are coming in, and this is not good news for India as the match has already been reduced to 48 overs. There will be even more reduction once play resumes. India, after suffering a batting collapse, has regained some momentum but will have to start again once the play restarts.

Fifty! Maiden ODI fifty for Amanjot Kaur. A crucial knock this has been from the lower-middle order batter. The right-handed batter dropped twice, but the intent from Amanjot has been positive at the crease. India is fighting back.

Deepti Sharma and Amanjot Kaur have steadied the ship for India after a batting collapse. The Women in Blue went down from 120/2 to 124/6 at one point after Sri Lankan spinner Inoka Ranaweera took three wickets in an over. The 39-year-old removed Harleen Deol (48), Jemimah Rodrigues, for golden duck and captain Harmanpreet Kaur for 21 runs. India will want Deepti and Kaur to continue till the end and reach a respectable total.

Out! Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu gets her first wicket of the match. Richa Ghosh departs, and India has gone from 120/2 to 124/6. Poor shot by the wicketkeeper-batter. It was a short and wide outside off delivery, and Richa cuts it straight towards Udeshika Prabodhani, who was standing at the cover-point region. Sri Lanka is breathing fire here. Richa Ghosh c Udeshika Prabodhani b Chamari Athapaththu 2(6)

Out! Third wicket in the over. Inoka Ranaweera is on fire. Sri Lanka are on fire. India captain Harmanpreet Kaur departs. She has ripped apart India's batting attack in just one over. Fourth wicket for the Sri Lankan spinner. It was a tossed-up delivery, and Harmanpreet Kaur guided it to the wicketkeeper. India is in deep trouble. Harmanpreet Kaur c Anushka Sanjeewani b Inoka Ranaweera 21(19)
