Women’s World Cup: Sciver-Brunt, Ecclestone Shine In England’s 89-run Win Over Sri Lanka

By IANS News October 11, 2025 • 23:20 PM View: 534

Captain Nat Sciver: England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt's magnificent century and two-wicket haul, aided by Sophie Ecclestone’s 4-17, guided the former champions to a commanding 89-run win over Sri Lanka in the Women’s World Cup clash at R. Premadasa Stadium here on Saturday.

This was England’s third win on the trot in the tournament, which kept their unbeaten record intact and consolidated their spot at the top of the standings.

Chasing 254, openers Hasini Perera and captain Chamari Athapaththu started things slowly for the side before an unfortunate incident (she pulled her hamstring while stretching after taking a run and had to be stretchered out) forced the former to retire hurt on 7 in the sixth over before coming out to bat again later.
