Mauritius
Sri Lanka
Mauritius seized control early, striking twice in the space of five first-half minutes through Stephan De Robillard and William Joseph Francois to put Sri Lanka on the back foot before the half-hour mark. That burst effectively decided the contest, with Sri Lanka unable to find a way back into a game that had slipped away from them so quickly. Adrien Francois added a third just after the hour to confirm the scoreline, but the second half was comparatively sparse in incident compared to the frantic opening period. For Mauritius, the comfortable win offers a confidence boost ahead of future fixtures, while Sri Lanka will need to address a defense that was breached twice in quick succession early on.
