Women's T20 WC: 'I Always Try To Lead From The Front,’ Says Athapaththu After Guiding Sri Lanka To Victory
T20 World Cup: Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu said leading from the front remains her biggest responsibility after producing a magnificent unbeaten century to guide her side to a dominant nine-wicket victory over Ireland in the Women's T20 World Cup at the County Ground on Tuesday.
Athapaththu smashed 106 not out from just 61 deliveries, hitting 17 fours and two sixes, as Sri Lanka chased down Ireland's total of 130/5 in only 15.3 overs. The century was the fourth T20I hundred of her career and another memorable innings at a venue where she has enjoyed considerable success over the years.
Speaking after receiving the Player of the Match award, Athapaththu admitted Bristol has become one of her favourite grounds. "Yeah, I love Bristol. I score most of the runs here, especially in England. I played my natural game and scored a hundred, but the most important thing is that we won," Athapaththu said.
