After a colossal mix-up that led to a disastrous runout of Vishmi Gunaratne, Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu counterattacked with an imperial half-century to take her team near the 100-run mark in just 12 overs. Athapaththu smacked nine boundaries and two sixes in her 43-ball 61 before she was cleaned up by Deepti Sharma at 94-2.

Harshitha Samarawickrama at number three made 69 unbeaten runs from 51 balls and shared an 87-run partnership with skipper Chamari Athapaththu.

The outcome helped Sri Lanka seal their first-ever Women’s Asia Cup title since the inception of the tournament.
