- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 Bangladesh with the dream start! And it's that big in dipper first up that does the trick! This was not quite at a good length but nipped back. Confident appeal for leg before but not given. Bangladesh though review. Vishmi not the tallest, and this struck her on the back foot as she was stuck in the crease playing down the wrong line. And it is an outstanding review! Three reds as this is shown to be clattering into middle and leg! 0/112.4 Who needs catches? Rabeya has Athapaththu leg before! Reviewed by Sri Lanka though. But this looks dead on. It's the arm ball that as slid past Chamari's inside edge on the forward defence. And the Sri Lankan captain gets the bad news with three reds! What a moment in the game. What's more Sri Lanka have burned both their reviews now. Rabeya absolutely ecstatic! 72/235.3 That's out. Given lbw early, could well have done it yesterday, it looked that plumb. Perera has to review. Went for the reverse sweep while being almost vertical, bent using mostly the upper-body and missed it completely. Ball beat the lower edge and pinned her proper. Three reds, opener gone! 182/816.4 Disaster for Sri Lanka! Shocking run out! This was swept to deep square leg, but the decision to take the second is absolutely baffling! Harshitha barely in the frame as the bails are whipped. Throw from the deep was a good one, but even a halfway decent one would have done the job here you suspect. Sri Lanka have gifted their third wicket away 87/319.1 How unlucky is this?! Dilhari is out stumped! This was chopped on, and the bails are down but this deflected off the keeper first. Bit too close to cut, this one. Umpire review for a stumping here though, and it looks like the bails have lit up just as Dilhari's foot is briefly raised up off the ground. This might be one of the single-most unfortunate dismissals I've seen. Insane celebrations from Bangladesh. The fielders were back in position for the next delivery! 100/431.4 Shorna finally gets one. Bangladesh take a catch... after ten successive drops, is what the commentator said. Yikes. It's an easy one for Nishi at short third to end the unwanted streak. Goes a touch forward, gets a bit low, clasps and then spreads her arms wide. Wide and full, Nilakshi doesn't get her weight across, uses her reach to try and flap it square. Gets an edge. 74-run stand ends 174/533.2 Sanjeewani is too early into the flick, the ball pops off a feebly back to the bowler. Very full, close to the stumps, the batter didn't get forward, don't think that was as big an issue as timing 178/634.2 Should be out. Not sure why not given. Bangladesh review. Three reds, smashing middle and leg. Out it is. 181/747.4 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 200/948.4 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 202/10Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL202 all out (48.4 Overs, RR: 4.15)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Vishmi Gunaratne, 0.1 ov), 2-72 (Chamari Athapaththu, 12.4 ov), 3-87 (Harshitha Samarawickrama, 16.4 ov), 4-100 (Kavisha Dilhari, 19.1 ov), 5-174 (Nilakshika Silva, 31.4 ov), 6-178 (Anushka Sanjeewani, 33.2 ov), 7-181 (Sugandika Kumari, 34.2 ov), 8-182 (Hasini Perera, 35.3 ov), 9-200 (Udeshika Prabodhani, 47.4 ov), 10-202 (Malki Madara, 48.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 Brilliant bit of fielding gives Sri Lanka another! The pressure tells, as there's some hesitation on this run to the right of midwicket, where Harshitha picks it up and throws down the non-striker's stumps. She lets out a scream into the night sky 24/21.5 Sri Lanka get the early strike they were looking for! Excellent bit of keeping is what creates this wicket. This one shapes away off a length, wide of off, as Jhelik hangs a bat out and gets a thick-ish edge. Well held by Sanjeewani behind the stumps 2/115.3 Finds deep midwicket! Big smile on Vishmi's face after taking that, and why not, that was very well judged! This was short and pulled hard, but it's right at Vishmi, who had stationed herself a few metres out from the ropes and takes this overhead. A few steps back to settle herself, but she's well inside the ropes 44/349.3 A team hat-trick for SL, Nigar doesn't dance down, stays still and looks to launch the fullish ball straight and far. Not middled, goes to long-off! That's the game, right? Has to be 194/845.1 Takes an age but ump gives it. No review. Fullish ball down leg, it's an offbreak that hit a length and angled in. Akter tried to glance it fine, held her ground but got a fine tickle on it 176/448.4 Dances down, yorks herself and it hits off stump. Stick ball from around the wicket. Going with the arm, big opening for SL 193/549.1 Rabeya given lbw. Looked out. Reviewed.Fullish length ball landed around off and beat the slog sweep. Hit the front foot around the shin. Landed around off and went going through. Three reds 194/649.2 Direct hit at the non-striker's. Ump clears the spot and decides to review late. Nahida's well short, 9 off 4 now. Full ball outside off, driven off the front foot and took on mid-off 194/749.4 One more. Four in four. Another review. Quick length ball around middle and leg. Marufa was inside the line and probably wanted to get out of the way. But the ball hit the left leg, close to the back of the knee. Review was disallowed. She has to walk back 194/9Extras11 (w 11)TOTAL195/9 (50 Overs, RR: 3.9)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Rubya Haider, 1.5 ov), 2-24 (Fargana Hoque, 10.2 ov), 3-44 (Sobhana Mostary, 15.3 ov), 3-126* (Sharmin Akhter, retired not out ), 4-176 (Shorna Akter, 45.1 ov), 5-193 (Ritu Moni, 48.4 ov), 6-194 (Rabeya Khan, 49.1 ov), 7-194 (Nahida Akter, 49.2 ov), 8-194 (Nigar Sultana, 49.3 ov), 9-194 (Marufa Akter, 49.4 ov)
