- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.2 Athapaththu has her arms aloft as she gets rid of the dangerous Shafali! Floated on a length around middle, Shafali comes down but hits it straight to Nilakshi at long-on. 56/33.3 And Ranasinghe gives Sri Lanka the early breakthrough, dismissing Mandhana! Mandhana was tied up all this while and looked to free her arms. Comes down the track to the tossed up ball and hits it straight to Athapaththu at mid-on. 17/13.4 Two in two for Ranasinghe! Dream start for Sri Lanka after being asked to bowl. Floated outside off, just fuller than good length. Meghana looks to work it to the on side but ends up lobbing a leading edge to Athapaththu again, who accepts it gleefully after coming in from mid-off. 17/210.1 Angled into the batter, struck on the pads and a loud appeal ensues. The umpire thinks about it and raises his finger. That is a big wicket for Sri Lanka. Quicker delivery into Harmanpreet, who was caught on the crease, and in a bid to work it on the on-side, played all around it. Strikes her right in front. She cannot cash on the two lives, as it turns out. 58/414.1 Flight, turn, dip and Ghosh is beaten all ends up. Tossed up nicely on off turning into her, she goes down the track looking for a big hit, but is beaten all ends up. Misses and the keeper whips off the bails in a jiffy. 81/516.6 Flatter yorker and she gets her third! Darts this one much quicker on leg, Vastrakar yorks herself and sees her stumps in a mess. 106/6Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL138/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.9)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Smriti Mandhana, 3.3 ov), 2-17 (Sabbhineni Meghana, 3.4 ov), 3-56 (Shafali Verma, 9.2 ov), 4-58 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 10.1 ov), 5-81 (Richa Ghosh, 14.1 ov), 6-106 (Pooja Vastrakar, 16.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 Nice loop and that does Gunaratne in. Deepti strikes early to peg Sri Lanka back early. Gets down to sweep across the line but is early with the shot. Misses the ball that hits her front leg on the full, right in front of the stumps. 1/16.3 Poor shot from Athapaththu and she perishes! Not too short around leg, she stays back and looks to heave it over square leg. All she manages is a top edge that is taken safely by Rajeshwari Gayakwad at short fine leg after taking a couple of steps to her right. Big wicket as far as India are concerned. Athapaththu is furious as she walks back. 27/26.5 Deepti Sharma you beauty! Can't keep her out of the game today, can you? Credit the wicket to her, I say! She's pulled off a stunner after running in from deep square leg and the ecstatic celebrations from India tells a story. A touch short around middle and leg, Madavi walks across and pulls it towards square leg where Deepti puts on the acrobatic show. The umpires want to take another look at that catch but Deepti seems to have it covered - hands well under the ball and clasps it safely. Top stuff. 27/312.4 Slower delivery and an easy catch for Harmanpreet. de Silva looks for the big hit with the run rate soaring but is beaten all ends up by the off-cutter. Can only mistime her loft as far as long off. 54/417.5 Gets down the track, misses and there goes another wicket! Ghosh got lucky there, I must add. Tossed up outside off, Kanchana goes for a hack and misses. Ghosh misses too but recovers in time to whip off the bails and catches the batter short. 86/5Extras1 (lb 1)TOTAL104/5 (20 Overs, RR: 5.2)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Vishmi Gunaratne, 1.2 ov), 2-27 (Chamari Athapaththu, 6.3 ov), 3-27 (Harshitha Samarawickrama, 6.5 ov), 4-54 (Nilakshika Silva, 12.4 ov), 5-86 (Ama Kanchana, 17.5 ov)
