The Women U19 Tri-Nation Series saw a thrilling match on April 9, 2024, at the Galle International Stadium, Galle, with Sri Lanka Women Under-19s and England Women Under-19s facing off in a high-stakes encounter. The series, spanning several weeks, culminated in this riveting match, showcasing the emerging talents in women’s cricket. The Sri Lankan side won the toss and elected to bat, setting the stage for a compelling game that highlighted both teams’ strengths and weaknesses.
First Innings: Sri Lanka Women U19 Strong Start
Sri Lanka Women Under-19s took to the crease with determination after winning the toss. Their innings was marked by a robust batting performance, accumulating a total of 226 runs before being bowled out in 48.4 overs. The top-order batters laid a solid foundation, while the middle order capitalized on the start to post a competitive total. The team’s strategy was clear: build a substantial score to put pressure on the England Women Under-19s during their chase. The Sri Lankan batters showed resilience and skill, particularly in maneuvering the English bowling attack, which struggled to contain the runs.
Second Innings: England Women Under-19s’ Response
Chasing a target of 227, England Women Under-19s had a daunting task ahead. Their innings began with promise but soon encountered significant hurdles. Sri Lanka’s bowlers, led by standout performances from Dewmi Vihanga and Chamodi Praboda, dismantled the English batting lineup with precision. Vihanga, with figures of 4 for 43, and Praboda, taking 3 for 42, were instrumental in maintaining a stranglehold on the English batters. Despite a few valiant efforts from players like Alexa Stonehouse and Mary Taylor, who tried to steady the ship, England was bowled out for a mere 118 in 23.3 overs.

Dewmi Vihanga’s lethal spell further compounded England’s woes, removing key players and stalling any momentum they attempted to build. The fielding unit of Sri Lanka was equally impressive, with sharp catches and quick run-outs that thwarted any partnerships England tried to establish.
