England's women's cricket team, led by captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, secured a dominant 89-run victory over Sri Lanka in the Women's World Cup on Saturday. Sciver-Brunt masterfully navigated a tricky pitch to score a century, leading her team to their third consecutive win in the tournament.

Sciver-Brunt attributed her success against Sri Lanka to strategically neutralizing their spinners, using techniques like lap sweeps to disrupt their rhythm. Her partnership aspirations with Heather Knight played a key role, though the collaboration was cut short.

England's momentum was further boosted by Tammy Beaumont's aggressive early play. Despite challenges from Sri Lanka's spinners in the middle overs, Sciver-Brunt and teammates adjusted, paving the way for a resounding victory. Sophie Ecclestone's notable bowling performance significantly contributed, taking four wickets.
