Polgampola
Player of the Match and Series
Sri
Lanka women’s team tri-nation champs
Chamari
Polgampola and skipper Shashikala Siriwardene took three
wickets each to bowl out Pakistan for 123 and give Sri
Lanka a confidence-boosting win just before the World
Cup in the tri-nation final played in Dhaka on Tuesday.
Polgampola also contributed 19 in an opening stand of
49 and was named the Player of the Match and of the
Series for her nine wickets at 7.44 and 58 runs. She
picked up her first two wickets off successive balls
- Qanita Jalil and Bismah Maroof falling with 14 on
the board - and then returned to wrap up the innings
with Asmavia Iqbal’s wicket for 6.
Javeria
Khan, who also took nine wickets in the tournament,
top scored for Pakistan with 23 in what was a rather
disappointing total after being sent into bat first.
Hiruka Fernando scored an unbeaten 44 and added 29 with
Polgampola in Sri Lanka’s run chase. Pakistan captain
Urooj Mumtaz took two wickets in the space of three
balls but Polgampola ensured Sri Lanka reached the target
with more than 14 overs to spare.
