Presentations coming up...
Earlier in the match, Sri Lanka, led by Sanjana Kavindi and captain Manudi Nanayakkara, took control after a shaky start. Although West Indies briefly increased the pressure by taking a few quick wickets in the middle overs, they couldn't sustain it. Sri Lanka finished with a record total of 166, surpassing their previous best of 162. West Indies struggled, conceding a record 36 extras and having issues with catching and ground fielding, despite starting well.
Chamudi Praboda was the standout performer for Sri Lanka Women Under-19, claiming 3 wickets to spearhead her team's dominant display and she was well supported by the other bowlers. They will look to carry on with the same momentum in their following games as well.
The few remaining hopes for West Indies Women Under-19 were crashed in the 9th over when Samara Ramnath was dismissed and they knew they couldn't make any comeback. Sri Lanka Women Under-19 excelled in all aspects of the game, showcasing exceptional bowling and fielding as well. They consistently broke partnerships, preventing the West Indies team from gaining any traction in their chase.
A dominant all round performance from the Sri Lanka Women Under-19! They defeat West Indies Women Under-19 by a convincing margin of 81 runs. The West Indies team faced a daunting task, chasing a substantial target, and their innings was marred by a rocky start. Despite a valiant effort from their skipper, Samara Ramnath, who seemed to be shouldering the responsibility alone, the team's batting lineup struggled and wickets kept falling at regular intervals.

Limansa Thilakaratne to Amrita Ramtahal ,OUT! STUMPED! Smart work by Sumudu Nisansala! Floated up from around the wicket by Limansa Thilakaratne, short and outside off, Amrita Ramtahal stays on the back foot and pokes at the delivery. She fails to make any contact and is standing out of the crease while playing the shot. The keeper Sumudu Nisansala is aware of it and whips the bails off. The third umpire is called into action and the replays show that Amrita did not manage to get her back leg inside the crease in time and it was on the line when the bails were removed.
