Sana was named Player of the Match for her crucial 20-ball 30, which was the top score in her team’s total of 116 against Sri Lanka. She also impressed with the ball, taking two wickets for 10 runs in 2.5 overs, including the key dismissal of Chamari Athapaththu, helping secure a 31-run victory. Although she moved down the batting order and couldn’t make a significant impact against India, she played a crucial role in slowing India’s chase, delivering a double-wicket 16th over that left India needing 26 runs at a run-a-ball rate on a challenging pitch.

It will be interesting to see how the Women in Green deal with the loss of their captain in the remaining 2 matches of the T20 World Cup which are a must-win for the side.
