Oshadi Ranasinghe top-scored for Sri Lanka with an 18-ball 23* helping Sri Lanka reach a below-par total of 105/7 from 20 overs. Malaysian Sasha Azmi bowled a brilliant spell giving away just 10 runs in four overs and picking up two wickets.
Jemimah Rodrigues' 53-ball 76 and three-wicket haul by right-arm off-break bowler Dayalan Hemalatha with efforts from other bowlers helped India women's team make a winning start to the Asia Cup by beating Sri Lanka by 41 runs.
While Ranasinghe (3/32) troubled Indian batters from one end, Jemimah kept one end steady with her brilliant 76 off 53 balls and even had a 92-run stand with captain Harmanpreet Kaur (33)
