Maiden T20 WC a learning curve for Shreyanka
THE moment Shreyanka Patil was brought into the attack against Sri Lanka in the second over, with the opposition captain Chamari Athapaththu on the strike, it felt like a calculated move. Athapaththu was due a big innings and knowing her reputation to find the way when her team needed it the most, India were eying her wicket inside the powerplay. Earlier, in July, during the Asia Cup final, when Sri Lanka had defeated India, Patil was not in the playing XI. This was a challenge for her. With her fourth ball of the innings, she had Athapaththu back. Athapaththu pushed forwards slightly trying to be defensive, but all it managed to do was get an outside edge and Deepti Sharma was there in the slips to grab the catch.
