India gave their semi-final hopes a major boost with an 82-run win over Sri Lanka to knock them out of the Women's T20 World Cup. After being thumped by New Zealand in their opening match last week, India beat rivals Pakistan at the weekend and delivered a dominant performance against Sri Lanka on Wednesday, which left the losing side to join Scotland as the second team to crash out of the World Cup. India are now second behind Australia in Group A with a run rate of 0.58, which is 0.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who recovered from a minor neck injury after slipping towards the end of their win against Pakistan, added 52 more runs to her country's total. Jemimah Rodrigues was caught by Udeshika Prabodhani but herself and Richa Ghosh contributed to India's impressive score. Sri Lanka got off to a terrible start in the run chase as opener Vishmi Gunaratne went for a duck after a great catch from India substitute fielded Radha Yadav.
