On October 20th, 2025, in a critical Women's World Cup match, Bangladesh's Shorna Akter delivered an outstanding bowling performance, taking key wickets as Sri Lanka was bowled out for 202. Hasini Perera's career-best 85 seemed to steer Sri Lanka towards a formidable total, but her dismissal after a risky reverse sweep attempt marked a turning point in the game.
Earlier, Chamari Athapaththu's aggressive innings of 46 helped build a solid platform for Sri Lanka, but she fell short of a big score. Her partnership with Perera was a highlight in an otherwise disappointing batting display. Despite the early resistance from Perera, who also partnered effectively with Nilakshika Silva, Sri Lanka's innings unraveled following a flurry of wickets triggered by Shorna's spell.
Bangladesh capitalized on Sri Lanka's errors to snatch a vital victory, showcasing their resilience and determination on the field. The match was a testament to the growing strength of women's cricket, with both teams putting on a thrilling display of skill and sportsmanship.
