3 Records Broken in India's 82-Run Victory Over Sri Lanka in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 Match 12

New Delhi: In a crucial match in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, India delivered a stellar performance against Sri Lanka in Dubai on 9th October, Wednesday, showcasing their strength and unity on the field.

The batter was looking in great touch as they smashed 172/3 on a pitch which was not so flat or easy to bat, the highest score in the tournament so far and the bowlers shot the Sri Lankans down for just 90. A return of form from seniors Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana was exceptional and there were skilful three-wicket hauls from Asha Sobhana and Arundhati Reddy.

Let’s check out the three big records broken:

Highest strike rate in a 50+ score for India in Women’s T20 World Cup

201.96- Harmanpreet Kaur 103(51) vs NZ at Providence 2018

192.59- Harmanpreet Kaur 52*(27) vs SL at Dubai 2024

No one else with 160+ strike rate!#INDvSL

Defending world champions Australia are leading the Group A table with 4 points from 2 matches with an NRR of 2.524 and are almost assured of a berth in the semifinal. However, India’s last match is against the mighty Australians and the Indians can’t afford a big defeat.
