It was a walk in the park!

The Indian women's cricket team sealed their supremacy in the sub-continent with their 7th Asia Cup title, defeating Sri Lanka by 8 wickets in a one-sided finale in Sylhet.

Having been asked to bowl first after losing the toss, the Indians made Sri Lanka pay dearly with Renuka Singh the destructor-in-chief.

Some abysmal running between the wickets, along with Renuka's 3-fer had Sri Lanka on the mat early on. The Islanders just kept losing wickets, finishing with a paltry 65/9 from their 20 overs.

In reply, India hardly broke a sweat with Smriti Mandhana recording yet another quickfire fifty to take the Women in Blue past the finishing line in just the 9th over.

With the victory, India lifted their 7th Asia Cup title from 8 editions, with 2018 being the only time they failed to win the trophy.
