Early Setback in India’s Innings
The India vs Sri Lanka Women’s World Cup 2025 opener in Guwahati offered drama from the start. India, after being put in to bat, slipped to 124 for 6 as Sri Lanka’s disciplined bowling created pressure. Smriti Mandhana’s early dismissal added to the worries, while Inoka Ranaweera turned the tide with a brilliant four-wicket spell.
Deepti and Amanjot Rescue the Hosts
However, momentum shifted with a remarkable seventh-wicket stand. Deepti Sharma and Amanjot Kaur rebuilt the innings through controlled stroke play and sharp running. Their 103-run partnership lifted India to 269 for 8 in 47 overs. Amanjot’s 57 combined with Deepti’s run-a-ball 53 ensured the hosts finished strongly. Later cameos from Sneh Rana, including a rapid 28 off 15 balls, pushed the total beyond Sri Lanka’s comfort zone.

Sri Lanka’s Missed Opportunities Prove Costly
Sri Lanka’s fielding lapses shaped the India vs Sri Lanka Women’s World Cup 2025 clash. Amanjot survived four chances as Achini Kulasuriya, Nilakshika Silva, and Inoka Ranaweera failed to grab catches. These misses shifted the game heavily in India’s favor. With sharper fielding, Sri Lanka could have restricted the hosts to a far lower score.
Indian Bowlers Dominate the Chase
India’s bowlers controlled the chase in this India vs Sri Lanka Women’s match. Sri Lanka started steadily but lost rhythm quickly. Captain Chamari Athapaththu fought hard for 43 before Deepti Sharma bowled her with a perfect yorker. Vishmi Gunaratne struggled against disciplined lines, while Amanjot removed her early. Sneh Rana’s tight spell choked the scoring and built pressure. Eventually, Sri Lanka managed only 211, handing India a 59-run victory under the DLS method.
India Women start strong in the World Cup! 🇮🇳✨
