The ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 kicked off with a thrilling encounter as India vs. Sri Lanka was held in Guwahati on Tuesday. Cricket enthusiasts all over the nation had been waiting for this contest with bated breath, and the match did live up to its share of thrill and excitement. Having won the toss, Sri Lanka opted to field first and got the Indian side under pressure early on. India's top order was troubled to pick up pace, and the scoreboard crept slowly along, leaving it doubtful about how the innings would turn out.

But one of the best cricket moments of the day came in the calm and collected batting of Amanjot Kaur. Showing maturity and confidence, she posted her first Women's One Day International (WODI) fifty off 45 balls. Her innings were significant not just for India, but motivated the team after losing the first few wickets. With some smart batting between the wickets and some decent shots, Amanjot helped bring new life to India's innings, and turned the momentum in their favor.

The match also illustrated the momentum gained by women's cricket in India, and certainly events like World Cups are also contributing to the growd true identity of women's sport. The match between India and Sri Lanka is much larger than the table position, it is about the example it sets for the next generation of girls - to play with confidence in cricket.

 The India vs Sri Lanka Women's CWC highlights will be remembered for the attacking batting of Amanjot Kaur, for both teams disposing of the never-say-die mentality, and for the enthusiasm of the players on the field.
