If not for the telephone call by the King, Sri Lankan women would have become champions.

The women appear to be ranked better than the men. But who cares men are busy earning the dollars.

Good sign, this reminds us of our national team (men’s) in late seventies. Hope we could improve to match them. Good Luck

Great effort and great spirit... But sad, no single TV channel in Sri Lanka to cover the matches. Specially the super six group matches. CSN telecast only 2 matches which our lasses played. via DM Android App
