Slw vs uaew

Sri Lanka managed to open their account in the Women's Asia Cup after surviving an almighty scare from the UAE in a rain-affected 11-run win at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium (SICS) on Sunday.

After Mahika Gaur (3/21) and Vaishnave Mahesh (3/15) restricted SL to 109/9 in 20 overs, UAE were cruising at 20/1 in their first four overs to reach the target. But after rain re-adjusted their target to 66 off 11 overs, the batters failed to step up and could make only 54/7.
