5:25pm Sri Lanka can't get to 100. They wanted somewhere in the region of 125 at the toss. Bangladesh wanted to restrict them to 120 that time. They will be mighty pleased with 97. Sri Lanka's experiments with the top order did not work in their favour. They dropped their most destructive batsman down to No. 4, and the promoted opener and No. 3 batsmen couldn't provide anywhere near the impetus that was expected of them. In the end, Siriwardene had to bat through till the last over to get them to a respectable score. Boundaries weren't easy to come, and Bangladesh have seen that. Can they make the adjustments and grab their first win of the tournament?

W
Jahanara Alam to Siriwardene, OUT, hits off stump. A yorker from Jahanara and Siriwardene has made too much room to make connection on this. Chops at it but won't connect

19.3
2
Jahanara Alam to Siriwardene, 2 runs, top class batting but the poor outfield means she won't get full value for this. IT was full on the stumps and she backed away to lift it over the off side where no one is deep on the square side. It couldn't get to the rope
19.2

Jahanara Alam to Siriwardene, SIX, clears deep midwicket! It's not timed perfectly but she has assistance from the wind. Walked over into the off side and got under this length ball before pulling out a slog sweep

18.2
1
Rumana Ahmed to Silva, 1 run, length outside off, nudged to short third whose throw is erratic and high. Siriwardene was struggling but the keeper had a lot of work to do to catch that and flick it back and she's made it as a result. Third umpire confirms.

Rumana Ahmed to Siriwardene, FOUR, lofts it over square leg. Good late adjustment. She knew square leg was in and she had shuffled to open up that area of the ground. Got a length ball outside off and got sufficiently under it to execute the shot
