Jemimah Rodrigues played the role of an enforcer to perfection with a career-best 76 in T20Is before the bowlers produced a clinical display to power India to a 41-run win against Sri Lanka in their women’s Asia Cup opener here on Saturday.
Rodrigues put up a boundary-hitting exhibition as she whacked 11 fours and a maximum in her counter-attacking 53-ball innings to help India post 150 for six on a wicket where batters struggled due to low bounce.
The Indian bowlers then struck at regular intervals to bowl Sri Lanka out for 109 in 18.2 overs. The Indians were better than their Sri Lankan counterparts in all three departments.
India were not off to the best of starts after being asked to bat.
Vice-captain Smriti Mandhana (10) was the first to be dismissed, while her fellow opener Shafali Verma’s (6) batting woes continued as she became spinner Oshadi Ranasinghe’s (3/32) first victim of the day.
