4.35pm: India finish strongly on 165 for 6. They started well and Mandhana played a crucial knock of 60 to set the tone. Sri Lanka took regular wickets to try to slow down the run rate. But Rodrigues' 29 and Ghosh's 30 ensured India did not lose the momentum. Just seven runs came off the last over and Prabodhani also bowled well to remove Ghosh. But Dilhari, after picking up two wickets, gave away 18 runs off her final over, the 19th of the innings. Join Hemant Brar after a short break for the chase!

My colleague Madushka thinks, "Richa targeting Dilhari feels like a crucial point in the game. Can't be overstated how vital Dilhari has been to Sri Lanka's recent success. Of her 16 T20Is this year, only thrice has she gone wicketless, and she usually doesn't give away that many either."
