- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.6 fuller ball outside the off stump. She comes down the track and lofts it to long on where the fielder dives forward and makes the catch look easier than what it was. 30/22.5 width outside the off stump. She looks to slog it away by coming down the track. Only manages to loft it to backward point off the leading edge where the fielder gets under ball comfortably and takes the catch 11/18.1 the slog sweep isn't working for the batters. Sri Lanka Women bowlers are tempting the batters to go for the slog sweep. Pakistan batters have taken the bait and have played a lot of slog sweeps. But for one six, there wasn't any convincing stroke. There were a couple of edges that didn't go to the fielders. This time though, the batter is early into the stroke and manages to find the edhe. Superb by the captain to have a slip at this stage as the edge is snaffled up. It was a good catch 30/314.5 fuller ball outside the off stump. Sticks onto the surface as she looks to loft it. She ends up chipping it to mid off where the fielder was running in but had to backpedal to get closer to the ball. She does and leaps to take the catch. She mistimed the leap but on the descent she takes the catch with her right hand. It's a sensational catch 56/610.6 Fuller ball outside the off stump. She comes forward and plays the lofted drive. There wasn't power/timing on the stroke as she wanted. The fielder at mid off leaps to her left and takes a good catch. It was a well-timed jump 42/413.2 there's a direct hit at the bowler's end! Fuller ball outside the off stump. She comes forward and drives it to mid off. Decides to run for it a micro second late. Athapaththu is expecting a direct hit and trudging back as she allows the ball to hit the stumps unaware by the fact that she might be getting in the way of the striker. Aliya Riaz runs into her as the ball hits the stumps. She hangs around for a while before the umpires decide that she has to go. She could've run around the bowler as the bowler had her back to the batter and couldn't see that she might be getting in the way 47/518.1 yorker on the stumps. She makes room and looks to go over the infield. As it was a yorker and she was making room, she finds it difficult to get under it. She ends up lofting it to point and the fielder takes the catch 67/719.5 yorker on the stumps. She looks to play a stroke as the ball gets under the bat and hits the stumps 75/819.6 fuller ball outside the off stump. Goes for a premeditated drive and only manages to get an outside edge back to the keeper who does no mistake in taking an easy catch 75/9Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL75/9 (20 Overs, RR: 3.75)Did not bat: Sadia IqbalFall of wickets: 1-11 (Sidra Amin, 2.5 ov), 2-30 (Shawaal Zulfiqar, 7.6 ov), 3-30 (Omaima Sohail, 8.1 ov), 4-42 (Nida Dar, 10.6 ov), 5-47 (Aliya Riaz, 13.2 ov), 6-56 (Muneeba Ali, 14.5 ov), 7-67 (Natalia Pervaiz, 18.1 ov), 8-75 (Umm-e-Hani, 19.5 ov), 9-75 (Nashra Sandhu, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.6 fuller on the stumps. She slogsweeps it straight into hands of the cow corner fielder. The bowler and the fielders are happy! Are Pakistan coming back into this? 17/15.6 length ball outside the off stump and slower in pace. Not bouncing as much as the previous deliveries. Nevertheless, she goes for the flat-batted pull. Only manages to loft it for the mid on fielder to get under it and take the catch comfortably 33/215.5 comes forward and drives it to cover. She can't beat the throw from cover at the bowler's end 70/47.1 Are Pakistan forcing their way back into the game? Fuller, flighted delivery outside the off stump. She skips down the track and is beaten by the turn as it spins sharply and was a wide down the leg stump line. The keeper collects the ball and whips the bails off in one motion. Vishmi does try to get back in, but she was too far down the pitch for her effort to be meaningful 35/3Extras6 (b 1, w 5)TOTAL77/4 (16.3 Overs, RR: 4.66)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Chamari Athapaththu, 3.6 ov), 2-33 (Anushka Sanjeewani, 5.6 ov), 3-35 (Vishmi Gunaratne, 7.1 ov), 4-70 (Harshitha Samarawickrama, 15.5 ov)
