Sri Lanka qualified for the Super Six stage of the 2013 Women's World Cup after beating India by 138 runs in the final Group game played in Mumbai today, eliminating the hosts from the competition in the process.

Batting first Sri Lanka made a challenging 282 for the loss of five, with Deepika Rasangika top scoring with 84, supported by half-centuries from Yasoda Mendis, Shashikala Siriwardene and Eshani Kaushalaya.

India required 251 to qualify for the next round, at the expense of the West Indies even if they were defeated, but they failed to impose themselves in the early overs, and lost wickets in regular intervals, before being bolwed out for 144.

Once again Arjuna batted well, bowled well and specially fielded well. CONGRATULATIONS.

Prasanna Rupasinghe Tuesday, 05 February 2013 04:18 PM

wow! What a fantastic performance girls, really enjoyed watching the team spirit and the eager to win, the never give up attitude and smiles all around!! More than they outplayed India, they outplayed our men's team by showing the eager, team spirit and pride of the nation - not bound by "playing for the money attitude" like our big boys do! No IPL for women, no big money, but the PRIDE OF A NATION!!! Perhaps big boys can learn a lot from these girls, simply amazing!! We are proud of you, keep going and bring us the ultimate trophy home!!

roshan Tuesday, 05 February 2013 04:18 PM

awsome gals!!!congrats!!

shalini Tuesday, 05 February 2013 04:10 PM

rumi Tuesday, 05 February 2013 04:06 PM
