Healy’s Taunt Triggers Key Dismissal as Australia Crushes Sri Lanka in Women’s T20 World Cup Opener

Australia’s Women’s T20 World Cup campaign began with a dominant six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in Sharjah. The match featured an early turning point triggered by Australian captain Alyssa Healy’s sharp tactics and witty banter.

Healy’s Sledge and Review Lead to Athapaththu’s Demise

Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu fell victim to Healy’s clever ploy early in the Sri Lankan innings. Facing a cautious Athapaththu, Healy’s taunting remark, “Oh my God, play a shot Chamari,” led to Athapaththu’s downfall.

Athapaththu attempted a big shot on the next ball but missed, resulting in an LBW decision. Healy’s quick review confirmed the dismissal, leaving Sri Lanka reeling at 2-6.

Australia’s Bowling Dominance

Australia’s bowlers, led by Megan Schutt, dominated the Sri Lankan batting lineup. Schutt’s exceptional spell of 3-12 equaled the record for the highest number of wickets in Women’s T20 World Cup history, matching South African pacer Shabnim Ismail’s tally of 43 wickets.

Australia Cruises to Victory

Despite the challenging conditions in Sharjah, Australia’s batters chased down the target of 94 comfortably. Opener Beth Mooney’s unbeaten 43 ensured a smooth victory for the reigning champions.
