India beat Sri Lanka by 147 runs to win the women's T20 gold at the Asian Games on Tuesday, claiming their first medal of this edition and a second straight title in the event.
Shreyanka Patil returned to the squad after an injury layoff. "I'm delighted to be back," she said — a simple line that matters more than the scoreline itself. Her availability, combined with the depth India showed in the final, signals the squad's readiness for the global cycle ahead.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka announced their men's squad for the Games, led by Arachchige and including four uncapped players.
