Detailed Narrative

Bangladesh Women, having won the toss, elected to bat first. Their innings started with some early setbacks as Fargana Hoque was bowled out by Chamari Athapaththu for just 11 runs. Sarmin Sultana and Sharmin Akhter tried to stabilize the innings but fell for 17 and 25 respectively. The middle order saw Nigar Sultana contributing a patient 40 runs, while Sobhana Mostary provided the much-needed momentum with a powerful knock of 74 from 80 deliveries, hitting eight boundaries.

Despite Sobhana's efforts, Bangladesh managed a total of only 213 for the loss of eight wickets in their allotted 50 overs. Kavisha Dilhari was the pick of the bowlers for Sri Lanka, taking three crucial wickets including that of Nigar Sultana and Fahima Khatun.

In response, Sri Lanka Women chased down the target with ease. Opener Hasini Perera played a pivotal role with her composed innings of 95 runs from 131 balls, hitting thirteen boundaries. She was well supported by Imesha Dulani who scored a brisk half-century (56 off 79 balls), ensuring that Sri Lanka remained on course throughout their chase.

The partnership between Perera and Dulani effectively dismantled the Bangladeshi bowling attack. Despite Marufa Akter's efforts with two wickets, including that of Chamari Athapaththu and Imesha Dulani, Sri Lanka reached the target comfortably in just over 46 overs.

This victory marked a significant achievement for Sri Lanka Women on their tour of Bangladesh, showcasing strong batting performances and effective bowling strategies led by Kavisha Dilhari's three-wicket haul.
