A captain's innings from Charlotte Edwards led England to an eight-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in Colombo in the first Twenty20 match of their tour.
After Sri Lanka had made 95 for eight, Edwards reached 48 not out off 50 balls as England reached 99 for two, winning with 26 balls to spare.
Laura Marsh made 29 from 25 balls, while Claire Taylor added six and Lydia Greenway was unbeaten on six.
Edwards had also starred with the ball, taking three Sri Lanka wickets for 21. Sri Lanka had struggled to ever get going, with Shashikala Siriwardene their top scorer on 22.
