Opener Pratika Rawal struck a fine half-century after spinners Sneh Rana and debutant Shree Charani starred with the ball as a clinical India outclassed Sri Lanka by nine wickets in the rain-hit opening ODI of the women’s tri-nation series here Sunday.
Opting to bowl, India bundled out Sri Lanka for 147 in a curtailed 39-over-a-side contest, with Rana (3-31) and Charani (2-26) sharing five wickets between them, while senior off-spinner Deepti Sharma (2-22) also chipped in.
