Sri Lanka Women Crush West Indies to Clinch T20I Series 2-0 in Grenada

Sri Lanka’s efficient chase reflected Athapaththu-led dominance across the rain-affected series.

Overview

  • Sri Lanka won the third T20I by nine wickets, reaching 121 for 1 to overhaul West Indies’ 119 for 5 and secure the series 2-0.
  • Hasini Perera struck an unbeaten 52 and Imesha Dulani finished 34 not out in a 72-run stand after Chamari Athapaththu’s brisk 32 set up the chase.
  • Inoka Ranaweera led Sri Lanka’s attack with 2 for 16, while West Indies were lifted late by Chinelle Henry’s 32 not out off 15 balls to a modest total.
  • Deandra Dottin (28) and Stafanie Taylor (24) added 48 for the fourth wicket off 71 balls, a stretch that checked West Indies’ scoring despite a solid powerplay.
  • The series turned after the second T20I, when Sri Lanka chased 102 for a four-wicket win following a collapse engineered by Malki Madara (3 for 16) and Nilakshika Silva (3 for 20), with all matches played in St. George’s, Grenada.
