The Full Story: How India Scored 222 Runs?
If you are asking, "How did India score so many runs?", the answer is simple: Pure Aggression.
I was there in the stands, and let me tell you, Shafali Verma set the tone. She didn't just hit boundaries; she destroyed the bowling attack in the Powerplay. Her intent allowed the middle order, including Richa Ghosh, to play freely and push the score past the 200-mark. A target of 222 in Women's T20 is rare, and today, India showed they have the muscle to deliver it.
Did Sri Lanka Fight Back? (Chamari Athapaththu's Show)
Yes, they absolutely did.
The trending searches for "Chamari Athapaththu" are there for a reason. Chasing 222 is a mountain to climb, but the Sri Lankan captain walked out with zero fear.
She smashed a brilliant Fifty and, for a brief period, silenced the Indian crowd. There were moments when she was hitting sixes so clean that even the Indian fans (including me) had to applaud. However, the target was simply too big for one batter to chase down alone.
What Was the Atmosphere Like in the Stadium?
Electric.
The best way to describe it is "Goosebumps."
When India was closing in on the win, thousands of fans turned on their phone flashlights. Then came the chant—"Vande Mataram." Hearing 30,000+ people sing in unison while the "Women in Blue" fielded was a magical experience. It wasn't just a match; it felt like a festival.
