Indian pacer Renuka Singh, who took one wicket against Pakistan, also spoke about how dangerous Sri Lanka’s Athapaththu is as a batter in T20Is and claimed that she has a plan to get the SL skipper out when they face Sri Lanka in the next group stage match.
“Chamari Athapaththu is very interesting. She’s the only one from Sri Lanka who takes the team to the other side. I try to get her out as soon as possible because if she is set, she can take over the match. So I have a plan on how to get her out,” Renuka said.
