India Women vs Sri Lanka Women, 1st Match, ICC Womens World Cup 2025 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Deepti Sharma to Chamari Athapaththu, out Bowled!! India's persistence pays off. Eventually one yorker sneaks through and crashes into the stumps. It was a barrage of attempted yorkers from the two offies to Athapaththu. Some were not properly executed and went to the boundary, but that didn't deter them. They kept firing it in looking for the blockhole and Deepti gets this one spot on from round the wicket.
