\"icc-women-world-cup2\"Mumbai:<\/strong> Sri Lanka Women sprung the surprise of the day at the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup India 2013 when Shashikala Siriwardena\u2019s side beat the current world champion, England, by one wicket in a thrilling match at Cricket Club of India in Mumbai.
 
With scores tied with one ball to go, former captain Dilani Manodara smashed Georgia Elwiss over mid-wicket for six to stun the current ICC Women\u2019s World Cup champion and create history for the Sri Lanka women\u2019s side who had, until today, not beaten one of the top four women\u2019s teams in the world (England, Australia, India and New Zealand).
\n
 
Meanwhile, in Cuttack, New Zealand\u2019s Sophie Devine became the second centurion of the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup India 2013 today when the 23-year-old from Wellington made her first ODI century when she smashed her way to 145 against South Africa in the side\u2019s Group B victory at DRIEMS Cricket Ground in Cuttack.
 
Also in Cuttack, Australia managed to secure a 91-run victory over Pakistan despite a disappointing performance with the bat that saw the side all out for 175 in less than 50 overs. However, strong bowling from Sarah Coyte, debutant Holly Ferling and Lisa Sthalekar saved the current ICC Women\u2019s World Twenty20 champion, Australia, the blushes.
 
At CCI, the day belonged to Player of the Match Eshani Kaushalya, whose power hitting \u2013 56 off 41 balls \u2013 took Sri Lanka to the brink after it appeared that the side\u2019s middle-order had let slip the brilliant opening stand of 103 by Chamari Atapattu (62)  and Yasoda Mendis (46) in pursuit of England\u2019s 238 for eight. Kaushalya also contributed with the new ball taking 2-49 off nine overs.
 
Earlier, after being asked to bat to skipper Shashikala Siriwardena, England were in trouble early at 29-3, before middle order contributions by Heather Knight (38), debutant Jenny Gunn (52) and wicket-keeper Amy Jones (41), who was playing for Sarah Taylor who is suffering from a minor hamstring niggle, propped England to what appeared to be a respectable 238 for eight. The England middle-order made a late surge taking 96 off the last ten overs.
 
Siriwardena said that her side always had the belief that they could pull off the chase and overcome England. \u201cWhen we played against them in 2010 we lost by five runs. So we always had the faith and knew that our bowling and fielding were up to expectations. It was not easy. The main reason we won today was the team effort. Hopefully that continues.\u201d
 
Siriwardena said that she trusted the ability of her players to beat England. \u201cWhen we got here, we wanted to keep them under 200, but there were 39 extra runs. But I knew my players would finish it off. Our batting line-up is very strong. The wicket-keeper bats at No 10. So, even when wickets were falling, I knew the other batters would finish it off.\u201d
 
Player of the match Eshani Kaushalya was elated at the win. \u201cI had no pressure. After the first innings got over, I always believed that I will go out there and finish the match.\u201d
 
Kaushalya, who\u2019s a fan of riding bikes extended her daredevilry to batting too, with three huge sixes and five fours in her 41-ball knock. She kept going for her shots even when wickets were falling at the other end.
 
With two needed for the win, England bowler Georgia Elwiss dropped a regulation high catch off Kaushalya. \u201cWhen the catch was dropped in the last over, I knew it was the lucky day for me and I knew we would finish it off,\u201d said Kaushalya, a big fan of Kumar Sangakkara.
 
After the loss, England skipper Charlotte Edwards was effusive in her praise for Sri Lanka.  \u201cWe are bitterly disappointed. It is not the perfect start to the World Cup. I think lot of credit has to Sri Lanka and how they have played. We had a decent score and we let it slip there in the end with a couple of dropped catches. The credit has to go to Sri Lanka and today we just weren\u2019t good enough.
 
\u201cWe were happy with a score of 238 from the position we are in after the start we got. Towards the end, some good hitting from Sri Lankans and some dropped catches from our side that really cost us. I thought if we could have held the catch down there (long on) we could have won the match by 30 runs and we paid for that.\u201d
 
Edwards said that England did miss Taylor, who was out with hamstring niggle, but that wasn\u2019t a reason for the loss. The 32-year-old stressed that England would come back strongly in their next game against India on Sunday. \u201cWe will pick ourselves up for the game against India. It\u2019s not all over. There is no need to panic. We just need to come back hard on Sunday.\u201d
 
Elsewhere, in front of an excitable crowd of local cricket enthusiasts and a large media following, Pakistan began its ICC Women\u2019s World Cup campaign against one of the favourite, Australia.
 
At the Barabati Stadium, the Australians made a stuttering start after winning the toss and electing to bat on a cold and dewy morning. A decision that their captain would perhaps later rue after the side struggled to make a big total and eventually ended up 175 all out in less than 50 overs after some strong bowling by Asmavia Iqbal and Sadia Yousuf.
 
Sadia proved the pick of the bowling attack with 3-30, including the key wickets of Lisa Sthalekar and Ellyse Perry, the former attempting to paddle-sweep, but ultimately managed to drag the ball onto her stumps, a disappointment for the all-rounder who was beginning to build on an innings for the side.
 
Coyte came to the side\u2019s rescue scoring a patient 64-ball 36 to help guide the side to a more respectable total. In reply, Pakistan lost wickets early on, including Nahida Khan, captain Sana Mir who had been promoted up the order and Nain Abidi, the trio managing to add just 19 runs to the chase before departing.
 
Coyte was named the Player of the Match for her all-round performance. Coyte\u2019s 3-20 and debutant Ferling\u2019s 2-10 helped dismiss Pakistan for a paltry 84 runs.
 
Sana was disappointed with the side batting performance but admitted the bowling and fielding of the side had vastly improved from the side\u2019s recent loss in its warm-up fixture: \u201cIt was a mixed match today, I think the bowling and fielding by us has been exceptional and that gives us some positive, but the batting again has proven a disappointment and we need to improve on that.\u201d
 
\u201cI think both the opening bowlers did a really good job, and after that Sadia and Asmavia bowled really well. In the batting only Bismah Maroof did well but she needed just one more person in our team to support her at the wicket which didn\u2019t happen today. We really need to stay at the wicket longer to show better performances,\u201d added Sana.
 
Talking about the crowd of over a thousand that came to the Odisha Cricket Association\u2019s main venue, Sana said: \u201cIt\u2019s good to have support for yourself when you\u2019re playing and to have the support coming for both the teams. I hope that more people come down to watch, it\u2019s been fantastic to play here.\u201d
 
Australia\u2019s Fields said she was pleased with the effort the side showed to get to 175: \u201cI don\u2019t believe in the term tail-enders, we\u2019re a side that can bat one through to 11 with Sarah (Coyte) out there to help build the total. I knew we could bowl with something like that which we ultimately did.\u201d
 
Coyte added: \u201cI think the main thing was to go out there and bat with confidence. We still had a lot of overs to bat when I went out, and it was about batting with the tail. We bat all the way down so I\u2019ve confidence in every batter.\u201d
 
At DRIEMS Cricket Ground, New Zealand\u2019s Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine starred in their side\u2019s 151-runs win over a wayward South Africa.
 
Sophie Devine with 13 boundaries and six sixes along with her captain Suzie Bates (72) starred in New Zealand total of 321 for five.
 
All-rounder Nicola Browne also sparkled with the bat, making 40 off 20-balls with seven boundaries to provide a late flourish.
 
In reply, South Africa lost openers Yolandi Potgieter and Savanna Cordes early on and it was up to captain Mignon du Preez alongside Marizanne Kapp to steady the innings but it was too little too late as they were bowled out for 170.
 
A delighted Devine said post-match: \u201cIt feels great to have scored my first ODI century for New Zealand. There were a few plays and misses but I\u2019m delighted to have helped us to our first win of the tournament.\u201d
 
Reflecting on South Africa\u2019s performance, Devine added: \u201cI actually thought South Africa bowled really well, particularly their medium-pacers Marizanne Kapp, Susan Benade and Shabnim Ismail, on a pitch that was typical to the sub-continent.
 
\u201cYou never quite feel like you\u2019re comfortable at the crease, you had to graft to stay there and after Suzie (Bates) departed it was good to have Sara (McGlashan) and Nicola Browne there to help the total go even higher.\u201d
 
Devine also praised her side\u2019s bowling: \u201cWe really concentrated on bowling nice tight lines and we had them instantly under pressure which I think helped to change their batting mindset. A couple of their players looked in good form, including their captain (Mignon) du Preez but we were consistent and patient and it worked in our favour.\u201d
 
Du Preez admitted it hadn\u2019t been a great start to the tournament: \u201cHard lessons were learned today. We didn\u2019t take the chances that we created up front when we were fielding. We missed out on removing Sophie Devine for 11 and she made us pay a heavy price for that. Our lines and length were wrong and the fielding was not at our best. Losing wickets in clusters also prevented us from forming partnerships and all those things combined were our downfall.\u201d
