U19 WC: Sri Lanka Women Thrash Hosts Malaysia By 139 Runs
ICC U19 Women: Sri Lanka got their 2025 ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup campaign off to a winning start as they thrashed hosts and tournament debutants Malaysia by 139 runs at Bayuemas Oval on Sunday.
Pushed into batting first, Dahami Sanethma top-scored with 55 off 52 balls, laced with five boundaries, as Sri Lanka made 162/6. In reply, Chamudi Praboda took 3-5, including bowling two maidens to have Malaysia bowled out for just 23. Sri Lanka started their innings on a high as Sajana Kavindi blasted 30 off 13 balls, including six fours.
She and Sumudu Nisansala shared a 40-run opening partnership before the latter became the first-ever wicket for Malaysia in the U19 World Cup, by falling to off-spinner Nur Dania Syuhada. Sajana and Hiruni Kumari (28 off 21 balls) put on 49 runs for the fourth wicket before Dahami took over and hit the maiden fifty of this World Cup as Sri Lanka posted a very competitive total by going past the 160-mark.
