Sri Lankan Women’s Cricket Team trounce England in England-by Michael Roberts   Source:Thuppahis The Sri Lanka Women’s Eleven’s win at Chelmsford in England highlights the wonderful improvement in the side and gleaming prospects in the near future.

Besides the triumph was not out of the blue. The team won the second encounter  comfortably after dismissing England for 104 runs — then reaching 110 for the loss of two wickets with 40 balls remaining. ...

Triumphant Sri Lanka grab a piece of history with first ever emphatic series win over England. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE  (Elanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka’s women continued a rampant run as they shocked England and threw down the gauntlet to the men’s team currently in the top four in the Asia Cup, that nothing is unsurmountable. Chamari Athapaththu’s ladies swept past England to claim a historic series  2-1 win and announced themselves as big time competitors against anyone.  Beating England in England makes this triumph even more special and goes down as the best effort yet by the rapidly rising Lankans who under new coach Rumesh Ratnayake are making giant strides.  From a team mostly dependent on Skipper Athapaththu, and perhaps a couple of handy allrounders, a different mindset has breathed belief into the group as they now perform as a perfect fighting unit. Yes, they rode on ...
