5th T20I: We Did Not Play Our Best Cricket In Tournament, Says SL Skipper Athapaththu

By IANS News December 30, 2025 • 23:42 PM View: 242

T20I World Cup: Sri Lanka skipper Chamari Athapaththu lamented that they did not play their "best cricket" against India, picking that as the reason for their debacle as visitors lost the fifth and T20I by 15 runs in Thiruvananthapuram.

The clean sweep also marked India Women’s third 5–0 victory in a bilateral T20I series, following similar results against West Indies in 2019 and Bangladesh in 2024.

However, Athapaththu was confident in her young side to do better in the future.
