Tammy Beaumont produced a captain's innings as England Women's Academy edged to victory over Sri Lanka Cricket Women's XI.

In a game where no other batter passed 30, Beaumont struck 69 as the second-string reached 157 all out after 42 overs.

That proved more than substantial, Sonia Odedra and Stephanie Butler claiming three wickets apiece to dismiss the hosts for 118 and seal a 39-run win.

From the moment England were asked to bat, it was Beaumont who led the way from the top of the order.

Her innings held the tourists together, with 20 from Alex McDonald and Carla Rudd’s 16 ultimately taking England beyond 150.

Any thoughts that such a score would not be sufficient were soon extinguished as Odedra starred with the ball.

Sri Lanka quickly found themselves 59 for seven and, despite an unbeaten 26 from Dharshani Dharmasiri, the Women's Academy won the first 50-over encounter.
