India beat Sri Lanka in the second Super 6 match to keep their hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive. India won by 7 wickets against Sri Lanka. Team India won this match in the 8th over as India needed a solid run rate that they could work on to clinch a place in the semi-finals.
Indian captain Shafali Verma won the toss and chose to bowl against Sri Lanka. India showed in the first two overs that this game will be theirs as Sri Lanka lost 2 wickets for 8 runs. After that Parshvi Chopra looked on fire as she took 4 wickets for 5 runs. Mannat Kashyap scored 2 goals. Captain Vishmi Gunaratne scored 25 for Sri Lanka. Umaya Ratnayake scored 13 runs.
