But Sri Lanka couldn&#8217;t continue the momentum as they lost wickets at regular intervals. <br \/>All-rounder <!-- -->Deepti Sharma<!-- --> (2\/15) got the prized wicket of the experienced Chamari (5) with her slower ball. <br \/>The Sri Lankan skipper looked to slog it over the on side only for Renuka to catch the ball at square leg. <br \/>Sri Lankan&#8217;s running between wickets was sloppy as a sharp India side capitalised on the errors. <br \/>Deepti ran out Melsha Shehani (9) but opener Harshitha Samarawickrama (26) continued to play aggressively but she too was run out in the eighth over. <br \/>With the required run rate increasing, the Sri Lankans wilted under pressure. <br \/>Pooja Vastrakar (2\/12) snared the wickets of Nilakshi de Silva (3) Kavisha Dilhari (1) off her successive overs as Sri Lanka were left tottering at 61\/5. <br \/>However, Hasini Perera (30) provided some resistance as she partnered with wicketkeeper Anushka Sanjeewani (5) and Oshidi Ranasinghe (11) to breach the 100-run mark. <br \/>But spinner Hemalatha (3\/15) cleaned up the tail with a three-wicket burst as India started their Asia Cup campaign with a win. <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                  window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n                  const { TimesApps } = window;\n                  TimesApps.loadFBEvents = function() {\n                    (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                      if (f.fbq) return;\n                      n = f.fbq = function() {\n                        n.callMethod ?
