Krishna: "What is the highest score successfully chased by BNG?" 236, Sampath says

SHAB: "Looking at your Stats nugget that this is the first time BD have bowled out SL, I think that was what SL was trying to avoid. Now this batting effort makes much more sense :')" Good emoji use

6:30pm First time Bangladesh have bowled out Sri Lanka in Women's ODIs. Perera's 85, the second-highest individual for SL in WWCs, helped them get to 132 in 25 overs. Dilhari's stumping, and later on Nilakshi falling to Shorna - the pick of the bowlers - to start the downward spiral. SL didn't score a run for 23 balls at one point. 192 total dots in the innings given my calculations are right. It wasn't entertaining, 20 runs could be of value though. To find out if it does or not, join Madushka for the chase.

Marufa Akter to Madara, OUT, Finally a run out effected properly. Rubya stays stable, collects the throw from Farzana Pinky at the infield. Let the hands go back with the momentum of the ball before pushing the gloves onto the stumps. Was a shortish ball that was cut off the back foot

M Madara run out 9 (46m 42b 1x4 0x6) SR: 21.42

Deepankar Mukhe: "As slow as they were, these 20 runs could still make the difference. Decent contribution from No. 9 " Ian Bishop theorising the same on comms

Shab: "Another stats nugget: This is the first over after 35th over where they have scored runs of consecutive balls :')"

dan: "so Sri Lanka have scored 64 runs in the last 22 overs. I'm sure they were 132/4 after 25" Madushka will have a lot of these to add for the report

Rabeya Khan to Ranaweera, 1 run, Worked across through square leg

Heath: "Any chance of the batting getting tougher later on? That's the only way whatever this strategy is can make sense." Probably dew or pitch picking up pace

Rabeya Khan to Prabodhani, OUT, Lots of drift again. At the start it looked like on off-stump ball, ends up hitting middle. Prabodhani goes well down leg and had a heave much higher than where the ball was

KDU Prabodhani b Rabeya Khan 8 (47m 37b 1x4 0x6) SR: 21.62

Joynul: "The Big question is, Can SL reach 200!" answered

Rabeya Khan to Prabodhani, 1 run, Wide on a length, cut and there's a collision and a tumble between point and cover. Both converged without calling and were sliding. Luckily it didn't hurt either

DaWolf: "46.4 - no way there should be a single there. Just bad field placement. It's a small thing but they've leaked runs there all match."

Mostary to Prabodhani, no run, Sub keeper fumbles a run out. Rubya was rightly placed, the throw from Fahima - at backward point - went further far away to the side and the ball went off the glove to the right. The diving Prabodhani would've gone had it been taken cleanly. Was a wide length ball that was cut

Nigar Sultana walks off with the physio.

Mostary to Prabodhani, no run, Hit on the grille. Nigar squatted halfway down and tried to grasp the fullish ball. Looked to have bounced more than she expected. The forearms acted as a ramp and the ball lifted off the inside of the wrists to shoot on the base of the chin. Prabodhani, who took a stride forward and was beaten on the flashing cover drive, overstretched and was out of the field, overstretched and slipped out. Might've got hamstring cramps. Physios come in.

Mostary to Prabodhani, no run, Wide on a length, leans across but decides not to cut.

  • Ritu Moni6-0-33-0

John ANDREW: "10 runs from 60 balls from these 2 - may as well just throw the bat and if they hit a streaky four it will equate to playing out the rest of the innings at the same rate. " Every run counts. crying tear emoji

Rabeya Khan to Madara, no run, Punches it off the back foot to the off side

Adhil : "Is this a good score on this pitch or have Sri Lanka fluffed another chance to be competitive in a game?" They certainly haven't maximised the runs. It's below par

45.4

Rabeya Khan to Madara, no run, More movement in, through the air. It means the edge off the flick is taken and it goes hits pad
45.3

Rabeya Khan to Madara, no run, Rabeya's foxed hr nicely. Madara shapes to defend towards cover and then clinks it onto pad after trying to drive
