Sri Lanka hold their nerve to snatch thrilling 7-run win

Nigar Sultana kept Bangladesh in the hunt until the final over

SRI Lanka Captain Chamari Athapaththu bowled a sensational final over to capture four wickets for one run to enable her team to snatch an unlikely seven-run win against Bangladesh in a Women’s Cricket World Cup match played at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai yesterday.

It was Sri Lanka’s first win in the tournament after three defeats and two washouts, and it put them on par with India and New Zealand with four points. Sri Lanka has only one game in hand against Pakistan on 24 October at the R. Premadasa Cricket Stadium, while India and New Zealand have two games in hand for one of them to grab the final semifinal spot.
