Danyal will be back here to call the action.

Adarsh: "Out of the five run-outs, only the last one was excusable. That too, it should have been the non-striker running to the striker's end."

S.A: "Srilanka gave a very good start and their wickets in the middle order fell like house of cards. When Chamari leaves, they panic. Coaches need to calm them down. They all know how to play. Poor calls. "

Kainat Imtiaz said hitting the decks and bowling stump-to-stump to get bowleds and LBWs was the focus on the slow and low wicket. She bowled really well

3:23 pm: A tale of two halves this, where Sri Lankan batters ran themselves out left, right, and centre to hand the hosts the advantage after earning it in the first ten. They managed to get 107, their highest score of the series beating their previous one by a sole run. Chamari Athapaththu did well upfront. Hasini Perera could not get the boundaries but offered support. Things went well till Nida Dar, brought in for the first time for the 12th over got Hasini, Chamari got run out the next ball, and the procession started there. Sugandika and Anushka got some handy lower order runs. It doesn't look enough but can there be a surprise?
