Mustafa Moudi: "As we wait for the SL innings to begin, lets wish the Greatest Captain of Indian History - MS Dhoni a very happy birthday. Wishing him a great year ahead !!"

Well, India have managed to score 255 after being 6 down for mere 124. Shefali and Yastika batted well after the departure of Smriti early in the seventh over. But wickets fell in a heap and in no time India were reduced to 124/6 with still 23 odd overs to go. It was Harmanpreet Kaur and Pooja Vastrakar who put on a 97 run stand to steady the ship. Pooja Vastrakar now has the most fifty-plus scores while batting at No.8 and lower in Women's ODIs. Every Sri Lankan bowler chipped in with wickets and it was Inoka Ranaweera again who was impressive. Join us for the chase in about 25 minutes time

Kanchana to Renuka Singh, OUT, Renuka needlessly walks across the stumps and tries to play the scoop, misses completely and the ball hits the off pole. Her job was to farm the strike there, I reckon.

Athapaththu to Vastrakar, SIX, comes down the track again and Athapaththu delivers another back of a length ball on a sliver plate. Pooja on the move gave enough room to free her arms and clobbers over deep midwicket. They are checking if this has gone all the way amd it has
