Shashini Gimhani, only 15, makes her mark immediately with 2 wickets in as many overs. Sri Lanka have got a potential world beater in their ranks. “A TRULY AMBIDEXTROUS Cricketer” as called by @Estelle_Vasude1 prior to start of Asia Cup!! #SLvMAL #WomensAsiaCup2024 pic.twitter.com/2QjPbvfZUs

Seeing Chamari Athapaththu’s form this year, wouldn’t be surprised at all if Sri Lanka win the Asia Cup or make the T20 World Cup semis
On the days she gets going, nobody can stop her
Easily the most dangerous hitter in women’s cricket#WomensAsiaCup2024 #WomensAsiaCup #SLvMAL

@58Chamari Attapatthu is achieving what @Sanath07 Jayasuriya did in the 90s, inspiring many young women to take up cricket. Sri Lankan women’s cricket has truly been revolutionised by this remarkable lady. What an icon for Sri Lankan women’s cricket. Hats off, madam! pic.twitter.com/pI7iGlZgRu
