Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, two of India’s greatest cricketers, left the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team precious notes just after they won the Women’s Asia Cup.
At the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet, Bangladesh, on Saturday, India destroyed Sri Lanka in the Women’s Asia Cup final, defeating them by eight wickets to win the trophy for the record-tying seventh time in the competition’s eight editions. The last time they failed to win was in 2018, but Kuala Lampur has finally put those ghosts to rest with a convincing title victory, where they had only dropped one game all season. Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, two of India’s greatest cricketers, left the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team with precious notes just after the victory.
The toss winner, Chamari Athapaththu of Sri Lanka, was ecstatic, but that was the last time she smiled. When deciding to bat first, Sri Lanka got into a self-destructive mentality and lost wickets carelessly after the skipper left after the third over. The lowest ever score for batting first in Women’s Asia Cup history was 65 runs for nine wickets in 20 overs.
Gayakwad and Sneh Rana both took two, while Renuka Singh took three for just five runs.
India’s reaction saw them fall down by two runs in the fifth over, but Smriti Mandhana’s unbeaten 51 helped them win the chase in just 8.3 overs.
“We once again win the Asia Cup! Many congratulations to our women’s team on their record-breaking seventh Asia Cup victory! #AsiaCup2022Final,” tweeted Sachin.
For their outstanding effort today, beginning with the first ball, the fielding unit and bowlers deserve commendation. We are proud of how we played tonight and didn’t want to give them any easy runs because every ball is significant. You must read the wicket in order to position the field appropriately. We placed the fielders appropriately and did a great job of it, which was very beneficial to us. We focused just on the short-term goals we had set for ourselves and everything worked out well because we weren’t paying attention to the scoreboard “Harmanpreet, the captain, remarked after the game. shared Virat
After defeating Sri Lanka in the championship match of the 2022 edition at the Sylhet Cricket Ground in Bangladesh on Saturday (October 15), Team India, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, made history by winning a record-breaking 7th Asia Cup title.
