Sri Lanka U19 Women capped off a memorable series with a resounding 5-0 clean sweep over Australia U19 Women, following a comfortable six-wicket win in the fifth and final T20 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium on Tuesday.
Opting to bat first after winning the toss, the visitors managed 114 for 6 in their allotted 20 overs. Lucy Finn (35) and Emily Powell (33) were the main contributors with the bat, but Sri Lanka’s bowlers kept the scoring under control throughout.
The left-arm spinner Chamodi Praboda once again proved her worth, delivering a fine spell of 3 for 16 to restrict Australia to a modest total.
In reply, Sri Lanka U19 Women chased down the target with ease, reaching 115 for 4 in 17.3 overs. Skipper Manudi Nanayakkara led from the front, guiding the innings with a composed 34 off 35 balls, laced with five boundaries. Her knock provided the backbone for the run-chase, as Sri Lanka sealed the series in emphatic fashion.
