Veteran Sri Lankan cricketer Nilakshi de Silva made history in the high-profile ODI World Cup clash against New Zealand at Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium. She blasted an unbeaten 55 off just 28 balls, setting the record for the fastest 50+ by a Sri Lankan woman in ODIs. Remarkably, Nilakshi broke her own record, having previously reached a 50 in 28 balls against India last year.
