Athapaththu slams 80-ball 140 as Sri Lanka ease past New Zealand

New Zealand

Chasing a revised target of 196 in 29 overs, Sri Lanka seemed to be in a spot of bother at 6 for 2, with both Vishmi Gunaratne and Harshitha Samarawickrama falling early. However, Athapaththu, who had scored a century at the same venue against the same opponents last week, launched a counterattack, racing to the three-figure mark off just 60 deliveries. In total, she hit 13 fours and nine sixes, and in the process moved up to joint-fourth on the list of most ODI hundreds in women’s cricket.
