Athapaththu Leads Sri Lanka to Asia Cup Victory

Sri Lanka defeated Indonesia by 75 runs in the Women's Asia Cup on September 2, 2026, after recovering from 62/6 to post a total of 124/7.

Captain Chamari Athapaththu delivered a career-best performance of 7/5, including a hat-trick, which stands as the best bowling figures for a Sri Lankan in T20I history.

Nilakshika Silva anchored the Sri Lankan innings with her third T20I fifty, while Indonesia was bowled out for 49 runs in 18.3 overs following a collapse triggered by spin bowling.
