A splendid display by the Indian bowlers restricted Sri Lanka to 113-9 in the ongoing group fixture of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup between the two sub continent nations at the Junction Oval in Melbourne.
Spinner Radha Yadav was the chief tormentor for the Indians as she picked up four wickets to run through the Sri Lankan top order with wickets of Chamari Athapaththu , Hansima Karunaratne, Hasini Perera and Anushka Sanjeewani.
Radha was rendered decent support from the other end as in-form Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Poonam Yadav and Deepti Sharma bowled economical spells and were among the wickets.
Sri Lankan Skipper Chamari Athapaththu was the top scorer for her team with a breezy 33 off just 24 deliveries in an otherwise dismal batting performance. Kavisha Dilhari provided a late flourish down the order with a quick-fire 26 run knock.
Earlier in the day,Sri Lankan skipper won the toss and choose to bat first against India.
