Irish Women beat Sri Lankans in Nail-biting ODI Match in Ireland-by Michael Roberts Source:Thuppahis Late at night in Adelaide I followed the last few overs in their internet written form in the absence of TV media footage. Prendergast was unstoppable and clearly unflappable. Chamari had failed in batting for once and the Irish may have benefited from home advantage. Outcome is good for cricket. OLGA PRENDERGAST”s photo defied copying !@#! Report in the Island … because ESPN has removed theirs !@#! Orla Prendergast pulled off a stunning heist, picking up 3 for 25 and following it up with an unbeaten 122 off 107 balls as Ireland beat Sri Lanka by three wickets in the first ODI in Dublin. Sent in, Sri Lanka rode on Vishmi Gunaratne’s maiden ODI century to rack up 260 for 8. In reply, Prendergast scored a maiden ODI century of her own to help Ireland record ...

Sri Lanka women’s crowning moment of glory as they grab the Asia Cup. Fantastic captain marvellous Chamari Athapaththu leads from the front. BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka’s women cricketers dared to dream, and then proved that dreams do come true as they sensationally grabbed the Asia Cup from a previously dominant India. For a country that is dealing with much economically, and struggling to raise its head, a little ray of sunshine swept across the Island nation putting everything else on hold as Chamari Athapaththu and her team jubilantly held aloft the prestigious Asian women’s cricketing plum. Rangiri Dambulla stadium will be remembered with nostalgia as the venue for a cricketing heist, as Sri Lanka’s women defied all logic to turn tables on Asia’s proven best team, second only to Australia in the world game. Set an imposing target of 165 for victory, Sri Lanka ...
Sri Lanka scramble into Asia Cup final in much anticipated clash with India. Athapaththu leads from the front in nail biting win over Pakistan. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. Sri Lanka scampered into the final of the Asia Cup after a pulsating 3 -wicket semi- final win against Pakistan in Dambulla. The feisty Lankans who have hit a rich vein of success recently, rammed home their winning culture to snatch a nail biting victory with a ball to spare. But the win over the highly rated Pakistanis did not come easy after Pakistan set them a competitive 140 for victory then grabbed two quick wickets to send tremors through the Sri Lankan camp. Opener Vishmi Gunaratne departed in the second ball of the innings for a duck and soon it was 2 for 19 when Harshita Samarawickrema departed for 12 when Sri Lanka’s skipper turned adversity to a personal ...

Chamari Athapaththu leads Sri Lanka to a clean sweep in their group. Semi-Finals will be engaging. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor). Chamari Athapaththu led Sri Lanka on a run spree and into the Asia Cup semi- finals as the host nation swept aside Thailand in their final game of the group stages in Dambulla. Thailand had the consolation of winning the toss and electing to bat. Their good fortunes ended there as Sri Lanka romped to a 10 -wicket victory in a canter chasing a mediocre 94 for victory. The Thai batters floundered miserably against a full strength Sri Lanka bowling attack who kept them on a tight leash. And, at 6 for 53 off 14.1 overs, the writing was on the wall as to where the result was heading. All of Sri Lanka’s bowlers shared the seven Thai wickets to fall as they laboured to 93 ...

Chamari Athapaththu smashes hapless Malaysia to lead Sri Lanka to a comprehensive win. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) Chamari Athapaththu has chosen her method of walking away from the game she loves by ensuring her memory will be indelible. The Sri Lankan superstar and skipper smashed a hapless Malaysia attack in a merciless display of aggressive strokeplay to end up with 119 not out off only 69 balls with 7 sixers and 14 fours balls to complete a single-handed demolition of one of Asia’s minnows. The world ranked number one batter and captain of the ICC world eleven showed her master-class in an unforgiving onslaught that steered Sri Lanka to a comfortable victory in their second foray before their last match against Thailand at the group stage before the semi finals. Thailand found their chase suffocating as a makeshift Sri Lanka attack choked them with clever ...

Sri Lanka crush Bangladesh in Asia Cup opener. Seven wicket win suggests India- Sri Lanka final.-BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka started their Asia Cup campaign in commanding form dispatching Bangladesh to record a 7-wicket win in Dambulla. Sri Lanka and India are the in-form teams in the Asian region and both have shown that they are the teams to beat in their respective groups. India are sitting pretty at the top of their group with two wins over Pakistan and UAE and unless things go pear shaped, Sri Lanka should get through their group on current form. India needs to beat Nepal to move to the next stage while Sri Lanka having a resounding win over Bangladesh have Thailand and Malaysia ahead of them in what looks like a tantalising India- Sri Lanka final if things go to plan. Keeping their heads and not getting ...

Sri Lanka women heap more more pain on Windies in T20 opener. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports Editor) Sri Lanka continued to heap more pain on the touring West Indies with a resounding four- wicket win with 8 balls remaining in the first T20 encounter in Hambantota. Sri Lanka skipper Chamari Athapaththu failed with the bat but struck telling blows with the ball to restrict the visitors to 134 for 8 after inviting them to take first lease of a wicket that seemed to have little terrors. The West Indies batters once again showed their vulnerability against spin as they put up a better showing but floundered to a below par total which Sri Lanka’s batters ran down without too much discomfort. The sharp incline in the Women’s game has infused new interest to the cricket mad nation that has been starved of success from the men’s ...

(eLanka Sports Editor) Chamari Athapaththu led Sri Lanka on a run spree to ensure a one-day series clean sweep against the West Indies in Hambantota. The spirited Sri Lanka skipper has always stood up when the team is vulnerable and this time was no different as she continues to be the team’s guiding light.
