Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu starred with a sensational 4/42 in the death overs to clinch a thrilling seven-run win over Bangladesh in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 clash at DY Patil Stadium.
After posting 202, built on Hasini Perera’s composed 85, Sri Lanka defended the modest total with grit. Bangladesh, led by Nigar Sultana’s 77 and Sharmin Akhter’s 64, seemed in control until Athapaththu’s late burst turned the game around. Her precision under pressure ensured Sri Lanka held their nerve in a last-over finish, sealing a dramatic victory that revived their World Cup campaign.
