8.28pm A top bowling effort from Sri Lanka and that Bangladesh got to 111 was down to Nigar Sultana's 48* and Shorna Akter's 14-ball 25. Sri Lanka were all over Bangladesh in the powerplay picking four wickets. Sultana had to do the repair job but Bangladesh kept losing wickets at the other end. Sultana and Shorna's 31-run stand helped Bangladesh get over the 100 mark. The Sri Lanka bowling was brilliant and even better was their fielding. Can Sri Lanka chase this down? Join Srinidhi in a bit to find out.

Inoshi Priyadharshani: [Catch] She was quite excited about it and was wanting to hold it and what she thought happened. [On the wickets] She has learnt a lot of things, she recognises the moment and taken with both hands.

Kumari to Nigar Sultana, OUT, Has the keeper collected the ball cleanly is the only question here because Khatun is well short of her crease. Flatter outside off, she taps to backward point and sets off. Khatun is nowhere in the frame as a throw is fired in. Sanjeewani drops the ball in an attempt to dislodge the bails but the third umpire deems that the ball was indeed touching her gloves when the bails came off. Khatun departs for a diamond duck

Dilhari to Shorna Akter, OUT, In the air and de Silva has taken a good catch at long on. A very important wicket for Sri Lanka. Tossed up just outside off. She does not get under the ball, which meant she does not get enough elevation. Shorna gets a decent connection, but hits it straight to long-on

Athapaththu to Nigar Sultana, no run, Shortens her length seeing Sultana step down and keeps the line outside off. Sultana has to adjust and works it to the on-side but a bit too close to the bowler who sprints right across. Doesn't collect cleanly else Shorna was a goner as she was halfway down
