Left-handed power-house Sanjana Kavindi hit a career best 90* off 59 balls to steer Sri Lanka to a six-wicket win over Bangladesh in their Pakistan Under19 Women’s Tri-Series match played at Faisalabad yesterday.

Chasing a modest target of 127 Kavindi set the pace with her brutal assault smashing 13 fours and 2 sixes as Sri Lanka won with five balls to spare. Sri Lanka lost their first three wickets for 56, before Kavindi joined by Danodya Sewmini (19) brought Sri Lanka close to victory with a fourth wicket stand of 60 off 57 balls.

Earlier spinners Chamudi Praboda and Chamodhi Herath put the brakes on the Bangladesh scoring taking two wickets apiece to restrict them to 126-8. Wicket-keeper and opening batter Achena Jannat top scored for Bangladesh with 50 off 36 balls (7 fours).

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka tie on 4 points each in the standings with Sri Lanka having played one match less. Host Pakistan are third with 2 points. Sri Lanka take on Pakistan today in their fourth match.
