Sri Lanka stun England in Mumbai

England suffered a shock one-wicket defeat by Sri Lanka in their opening group match at the Women's World Cup after a thrilling contest went down to the final ball. The defending champions had been well below their best throughout, but still looked likely to defend their total of 238-8 as the Sri Lanka middle order buckled. But, a brilliant 41-ball 56 from Eshani Kaushalya left the minnows needing only nine to win from the final over and, when Georgia Elwiss was dispatched over mid-wicket r a maximum, the result was as good as confirmed. There was still time for Elwiss to drop a simple chance to remove Kaushalaya - who had earlier been dropped by Jenny Gunn - and the same batter to be run out looking for the winning run. Two dots followed, but with a single needed to win and the final pair at the crease, Dilani Manodara hit the last ball of the match for six to give Sri Lanka their first win over England in any form of the game and with it, produce one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history.
