This triumph is a landmark moment for Sri Lankan women’s volleyball, as it marks the first time in many years that a Lankan women’s team has advanced to a final. The last notable success was when the Sri Lanka women’s team secured the bronze medal in the 2019 South Asian Games.
The Sri Lanka U20 Women’s Team, headed by Chathuri Purnima, conquered the match from the start. They won the first set 25-09, followed by a commanding 25-08 in the second set, and sealed their victory with a decisive 25-07 in the third set. In this four-nation tournament, Sri Lanka outdid the points table with an unbeaten streak of four consecutive victories. In the final, they will face the winner of the Kyrgyzstan and Nepal semi-final match. The final match is scheduled to be played today at 4:30 PM Sri Lanka time.
