Smriti Mandhana led from the front with a commanding century as India took on Sri Lanka in the final of the tri-nation series on Sunday. India had entered the title clash after losing their last league match to Sri Lanka, but still topped the table with three wins and one loss. Sri Lanka, who finished second with two wins and two defeats, joined them in the final. Winning the toss and opting to bat first, India got off to a solid start thanks to another strong opening stand between Mandhana and Pratika Rawal. The pair added yet another fifty-plus partnership before Rawal was dismissed for a steady 30 off 49 balls. From there, Mandhana took control, smashing 116 off 101 deliveries, laced with 15 fours and two sixes. She reached her century in style, hitting three consecutive boundaries.
