Australia have cruised past Sri Lanka in their T20 World Cup clash after a revitalised Beth Mooney and Alyssa Healy put on an unbroken stand of 113 to hand them a 10-wicket win.
When Australia batted, there never looked any doubt about the result, with Healy reverse-slamming a short ball from Athapaththu off a free hit to reach her second fifty of the World Cup, off just 38 balls.Then Mooney brought up her run-a-ball half-century with a single towards long-off soon after - and no-one was more delighted at seeing the left-hander return to form than her opening partner.
Carting a combined four boundaries in the first four overs, Sri Lanka’s left-hand openers Athapaththu and Harshita Madhavi made an early statement.Their powerplay score could have been higher than 1-38 had an airborne Harris not snaffled a superb diving catch off Perry to get rid of captain Athapaththu at mid-off in the fifth over.
“She’s been around our group for a long time,” Healy said of Harris. “We play against her a lot in domestic cricket, so we know what she can do with the ball.“There’s 15 players in this group that could step on the park and perform.
