Sri Lanka women claim Silver in Asian Games Cricket – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE – (eLanka Sports editor)   Chamari Athapaththu and Sri Lanka can take plenty of pride from a stirling effort at the Asian Games where the plucky Islanders nearly grabbed Gold falling short of knocking off fancied India. The Sri Lankans were gallant in defeat in the final after containing the strong Indian batting line-up to just 116 in a shock that stung one of the best teams in the world.  Chasing what seemed a gettable target, Sri Lanka found the going tough as the Indian bowlers struck back viciously to tie them down to 97 for 8 for a 19-run win. This performance underlines the rapid progress Sri Lanka has been in recent times and augurs well for the women’s game against the best in the world.  It also underlines the series victory over England ...

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. The side may be benefitting from the heat wave in Europe as well as England’s decision to rest one or two experienced campaigners; but the facility and margin of victory was commanding.  Andrew Miller’s account in ESPNcricinfo says it all. 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 ...

Chamari Athapaththu sets up T20 series decider as Sri Lanka cruise past England Chamari Athapaththu scored a half-century and took a key wicket as Sri Lanka defeated England at Chelmsford. Photograph: Tony Marshall/Getty Images Source : theguardian England may come to regret treating their September series against Sri Lanka as an Ashes afterthought. Saturday’s T20 at Chelmsford was an embarrassing display of hubris, which the hosts lost by eight wickets, after being bowled out for 104 in 18 overs – their worst performance at home since Australia saw them off for 87 eight years ago. Heather Knight, though, was still bullish. The captain said: “We’ve had a bad day, we’ve lost a game of cricket. There’s not going to be a big inquiry about it. We haven’t played well and Sri Lanka have given us a bit of humble pie.” Inquiry or not, the reality is that Sri Lanka have not beaten ...

Women’s World Cup in South Africa – Sri Lanka flatter, then flop as they receive a Kiwi hiding – by BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Sri Lanka’s dream of making the World Cup semi finals evaporated on the back of a lacklustre performance against New Zealand after a 101-run thrashing. A dream start with wins over hosts South Africa and then Bangladesh soon turned to a nightmare when holders Australia and the New Zealand handed them successive thrashings showing them the door out from the competition. It was not all doom and gloom though, as the plucky Lankans showed they are on the rise and should be a formidable force in the not too distant future. What arose from the exposure was some exciting talent in both batting and bowling that should be harnessed and nurtured. Skipper Chamari Athapaththu has carried this team with the bat for a long period ...
