Sri Lanka Women delivered a crushing blow to West Indies Women, sealing a commanding 160-run victory to sweep the 3-match ODI series. The match unfolded at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo, showcasing Sri Lanka's dominance in all aspects of the game.

Opting to bat first after winning the toss, Sri Lanka posted a formidable total of 275/6 in their allotted 50 overs. Skipper Chamari Athapaththu led from the front with a brilliant 91, supported by Vishmi Gunaratne's 44 at the top of the order. Their 93-run opening stand laid a strong foundation. Despite losing wickets in clusters, contributions from Nilakshi de Silva (63) and Anushka Sanjeewani (55) propelled Sri Lanka past the 270-run mark.

In response, West Indies faltered early, losing key wickets in quick succession. Chedean Nation's fighting 46 and Stafanie Taylor's 16 provided a brief resistance, but Sachini Nisansala's destructive 5-wicket haul dismantled the West Indies batting lineup. The visitors crumbled to a dismal 115 all out in 34.5 overs, handing Sri Lanka a comprehensive victory.

Nisansala's outstanding spell, backed by disciplined bowling from Udeshika Prabodhani, Kawya Kavindi, Sugandika Kumari, Oshadi Ranasinghe, and Athapaththu, highlighted Sri Lanka's bowling prowess as they wrapped up a dominant series whitewash.
