A fine fifty by skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and a fine bowling performance in the second half of the 176-run defence helped India beat Sri Lanka by 15 runs in the fifth and final T20I on Tuesday.
India's star all-rounder Deepti Sharma is just one wicket away from making history as the leading wicket-taker in women's T20Is, she is currently tied with Australia's Megan Schutt at 151 wickets.
Sri Lanka have announced a 15-member squad for their T20I tour of India, with Chamari Athapaththu set to continue leading the side as they begin preparations for next year's ICC Women's T20 World Cup in England.
India whitewashed Sri Lanka in the T20 International (T20I) series and won it by a margin of 3-0. Indian cricketer Hardik Pamdya lauded his team's performance under challenging conditions, highlighting the contributions of key players and the collective effort that led to their success.
India handed a debut to two youngsters in Shubhman Gill and Shivam Mavi. Captain Hardik Pandya presented the T20I cap to Mavi while vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav gave Gill his T20I cap before the toss.
Shanka talked about the Indian team stepping into the T20I series without regular captain Rohit Sharma and said that it is always challenging to play against the hosts irrespective of key players missing from the lineup.
