After winning the toss, Sri Lanka chose to bat, but the decision backfired. The Indian bowlers, led by Radha, bowled them out for just 118 runs.
Radha took 4 wickets for 19 runs, while left-arm spinner Tanuja Kanwar claimed 2/20 and leg-spinner Prema Rawat grabbed 2/9.
For Sri Lanka, opener Sanjana Kavindi scored 31, and she shared a 36-run partnership with Hansima Karunaratne (14).
Sri Lanka were 71/2 after 10 overs but lost their remaining 8 wickets for just 47 runs in about 9 overs, thanks to India’s strong spin attack.
Chasing 119, India had a small wobble after losing 3 wickets for 21 runs, including top-scorer Vrinda Dinesh (42). But Radha Yadav finished the job with an unbeaten 31 off 18 balls, hitting 7 fours, and guided India to victory in 13.3 overs.
In the final, India A will face the winner of the Bangladesh vs Pakistan semifinal.
