Skipper Athapaththu's All-round Show Help Sri Lanka-W Level Series Against Bangladesh

By IANS News April 22, 2026 • 18:12 PM View: 116

Skipper Chamari Athapaththu: Chamari Athapaththu produced a commanding all-round performance to help Sri Lanka level the ODI series against Bangladesh women's in Rajshahi, as the visitors secured a four-wicket win by chasing down 165 in 45.5 overs.

Playing her first game of the series after missing the opener due to a finger injury, Athapaththu made an immediate impact with the ball, claiming three crucial wickets to derail Bangladesh’s innings.

She struck first in the 16th over, trapping Sharmin Sultana lbw, a decision the batter appeared unhappy with. In her very next over, Athapaththu dismissed Sobhana Mostary, who was caught at square leg.
