In the ICC Women's World Cup at Derby in England, India set the victory target of 233 against Sri Lanka. Deepti Sharma's 78 and skipper Mithali Raj's 53 propelled India to 232 for 8 in the stipulated 50 overs after India elected to bat first. Losing both openers early in the innings, Deepti and Mithali steadied the Indian ship and etched together a 100-run partnership. For Sri Lanka, Sripali Weerakkody finished with three for 28 in nine overs. With three wins from as many games, India women remain perched atop the points table. India would naturally look to continue their unbeaten streak against 6th placed Sri Lanka in this match.
