Nilakshika Silva top scored for Sri Lanka with 22

Sri Lanka began their Women’s T20 World Cup tournament on a disappointing note when Pakistan beat them by 31 runs in a Group A match played at Sharjah yesterday.

Sri Lanka did well to keep Pakistan down to 116, but their batting simply let them down as they could reply with only 85-9 on a spin-oriented track.

Scores: Pakistan Women 116 (20) (Nida Dar 23, Fatima Sana 30, Udeshika Prabodhani 3/20, Sugandika Kumari 3/19, Chamari Athapaththu 3/18)

Sri Lanka Women 85-9 (20) (Vishmi Gunaratne 20, Nilakshika Silva 22, Fatima Sana 2/10, Sadia Iqbal 3/17, Omaima Sohail 2/17, Nashra Sandhu 2/15)
