Sri Lanka clinched the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 title, defeating India by eight wickets at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. Skipper Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samawickrama spearheaded the victory with remarkable batting performances.
Post-match, Athapaththu expressed her desire to participate in two forthcoming ICC tournaments—the T20 World Cup and the 50-over World Cup in India next year. ‘Hopefully, I will still play until the next 50-over World Cup,’ Athapaththu told ICC.
