Pacer Renuka Singh Thakur: Pacer Renuka Singh Thakur claimed four wickets on her return to the T20I side as India restricted Sri Lanka to 112/7 in the third game of the five-match series at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday.

Renuka finished with figures of 4-21, her fourth four-wicket haul in the format, while off-spin bowling all-rounder Deepti Sharma took 3-18 as Sri Lanka's batting struggles continued after being asked to bat first for the third consecutive time in the series.

Sri Lanka started brightly, but their innings deteriorated rapidly, with only a 40-run partnership between Imesha Dulani (27) and Kavisha Dilhari (20) providing resistance. Late contributions from Kaushini Nuthyangana (19 not out) helped Sri Lanka reach a respectable total, though one well below par.
