Sri Lanka Women vs Bangladesh Women's National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu created history of sorts on Monday as she became the first Sri Lankan female cricketer to complete 4000 ODI runs on Monday during the Sri Lanka Women vs Bangladesh Women's ODI World Cup match.
Notably, Athapaththu scored 46 runs from 43 deliveries which featured 6 boundaries and 2 sixes.
