India Women kicked off their ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 journey with a commanding 59-run win against Sri Lanka Women at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The match featured standout performances from Deepti Sharma and Amanjot Kaur, who played pivotal roles in guiding India to a formidable total and effectively curbing Sri Lanka’s chase.

After a shaky start, India found themselves in a precarious position at 124 for 6 in 27 overs. Nevertheless, a determined partnership of 103 runs between Deepti Sharma, who scored a brisk 53 off 53 balls, and Amanjot Kaur, who contributed a steady 57 off 56 deliveries, enabled India to recover from the early collapse and set a target of 269 for 8 in the rain-affected 47-over match.
