Half-tons from Amanjot Kaur and Deepti Sharma and their century partnership helped India to a competitive 269/8 in 47 overs, in a rain-truncated ICC Women’s World Cup opener against Sri Lanka here on Tuesday.
Amanjot struck 57 off 56 balls while Deepti made run a ball 53 as the two batters weathered the Sri Lankan bowlers, especially spinner Inoka Ranaweera (4/46), to bail India out from a difficult situation at 124/6 in a match reduced to 47 overs per side.
The pair also shared a 103-run partnership for the seventh wicket. Opener Pratika Rawal (37) and Harleen Deol (48) were the other key contributors for India.
