Colombo, May 2:Riding on a blistering century (109) by skipper Mithali Raj and a five- wicket haul by off-spinner Seema Pujare, India thumped Bangladesh by 182 runs in the women’s Asia Cup in Sri Lanka.

India won the toss and elected to bat but were quickly reduced to 48-2. But Mithali resurrected the innings, remaining unbeaten to take the Indian total to 250 for the loss of three wickets. Mithali’s chanceless knock came from 92 balls, which included 15 fours and one six.

In another match, Dedunu Silva hit a cautious half century to script an easy 96-run victory for Sri Lanka over Pakistan. The opener scored 76.
