Our Women’s T 20 team needs a complete revamp after the WC debacle. – By Sunil Thenabadu Sri Lanka’s  team’s performance at the T20 World Cup could be described as “not acceptable” a consequence of skill “failing us” after we were completely  knocked out of the tournament .It is a pity for the Asian Champions to be classified as the worst out of the ten teams that participated, even performing worst than the minnows Scotland who has had a better record been a team that resisted against the better teams in their  group. Sri Lanka have lost all of their four matches in the World Cup, hence obviously cannot advance from  the group after coming into the event with the expectation they could go to semi finals after an impressive last 20 months having crowned as the Asia cup champions.

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.

Epic 195 sinks South Africa in world record run chase.  – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports Editor) True grit and a never say die attitude is what champions are made of. Sri Lanka is definitely blessed with one in brilliant Chamari Athapaththu who single-handedly steered her country to a massive victory over South Africa while breaking many world records along the way with it. Chasing what seemed like an improbable target of 301,  Sri Lanka’s skipper waded into a hapless South African attack with the deft and dexterity of the now established world champion, spraying them to all parts as Sri Lanka galloped past the target with 33 balls to spare.  Her 195 not out, the third highest individual score, off only 139 deliveries with 26 fours and 5 sixers will remain in the annals of history ...
