LIVE: Dominant India cruising against Sri Lanka
India take charge with the bat to post commanding total | Innings Highlights | WT20WC 2024 Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana starred as India's top order put Sri Lanka to the sword in Dubai having won the toss and opted to bat first in this crucial Group A contest. Mandhana hit a sublime 50 (38 balls), putting on a stand of 98 for the first wicket with Shafali Verma (43) to set India up for a big total. And captain Kaur launched India up to the tournament's highest total, plundering 52 runs from just 27 deliveries, and finishing off her knock with back-to-back fours to leave Sri Lanka needing 173 to keep their World Cup alive. And the Lankans had an inauspicious start to their reply, losing their top three cheaply and limping to 54/4 at the midway point of the innings. WATCH: Radha Yadav's stunning catch Radha Yadav takes a stunner to give India the perfect start | WT20WC 2024 Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and opted to bat first against Sri Lanka in Dubai. And the Indian openers took advantage of the opportunity to put runs on the board, building a strong partnership to end the powerplay unbeaten. WATCH: Shafali Verma gets off to a flier against Sri Lanka Shafali Verma off to a flier | WT20WC 2024 It was Shafali Verma who set the early tempo against a spin-heavy Sri Lanka attack, with Smriti Mandhana getting in on the act after giving herself time to get in. Mandhana hit the game's first maximum, and at the halfway point of the innings the pair were still out in the middle, with the score accelerating to 78/0. Mandhana reached her half century, but Sri Lanka hit back with two wickets in two balls, with Mandhana run out for 50 before Verma departed for 43. Yet the wickets did little to stem India's flow, as Jemimah Rodrigues hit a quickfire 16 (10) and Richa Ghosh contributed a run-a-ball 6* , both playing a supporting role to an extravagant knock from the captain. Harmanpreet Kaur's innings was arguably the best of the tournament so far, with the Indian skipper slamming nine boundaries to finish unbeaten on 52* from just 27 deliveries, boosting her side's total to 172/3 – the highest so far at this World Cup.

Sadia Iqbal headlines ICC Women's T20I player rankings
The 29-year-old left-arm spinner briefly becomes first Pakistan player to top the Women's T20I rankings before finishing in second position Pakistan spinner Sadia Iqbal became the first from her country to top the ICC Women's T20I Rankings when she briefly overtook long-time number one Sophie Ecclestone before finishing second among bowlers in the weekly update that is carried out on Tuesdays.
