Women’s World Cup: India beats Sri Lanka by 16 runs

India took a giant stride towards clinching a semi-final spot with another convincing 16-run victory over Sri Lanka in a one-sided ICC Women’s World Cup encounter on Wednesday.

Mithali Raj and team recorded their fourth win on the trot as they defended a respectable 232/8 by restricting the island nation to 216/7.

The Indian players also maintained a clean slate against their sub-continental neighbours since the 2013 World Cup, having never lost a single ODI in all meetings.
