- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 Terrific, terrific catch and Sri Lanka are up in celebration! Shehani ran to her right at long-on and then dived low to her right to pouch that to end Shafali's stay. Once again, she used her feet to get down the track and looked to go over the top but ended up skewing it off the inner half. Could have been a boundary if not for Shehani's effort. 23/22.2 That drop does not prove costly for Sri Lanka! De Silva redeems herself with a terrific catch running to her left from long-off. Mandhana looks to take the left-arm spinner on, charges down the track and goes straight but perhaps the bat turned in her hand and she ended up holing out. 13/117.4 Length ball keeps low and ends Jemimah Rodrigues' innings! It was snailing on a shortish length and then did not rise. Rodrigues was down the track and looked to pull it with might but it hovered on to the stumps. 76 is Rodrigues' highest T20I score, she played brilliantly. 134/415.5 Kaur's down the track, the wily Ranasinghe darts it wide on a length and Sanjeewant does the rest! Kaur had to adjust, tried to steer it but the ball kept a bit low and beat her for pace too. Much needed wicket. 115/318.6 Shortish ball, keeps low again. Hits her on the pad after beating the pull and it's given LBW! Replay shows it pitched in line. It was likely to be hitting or clipping off. Being in position early went against Ghosh this time. That ends Ranasinghe's spell on a high, well-deserved three-for. 145/519.5 Driven to deep cover, they push for a very tight two. Throw comes in, keeper takes off the bails as the batter slides the bat in. The throw, as Roshan Abeysinghe notes, was a bit too full. Needed to be flatter. The keeper takes it to the left and has to lead the ball with her gloves to the stumps. It looks like Vastrakar has just made it in, but there are a few replays taken by the TV Umpire. Well, it's given out! Vastrakar stands her ground, there is some confusion but she will have to leave as the decision is indeed out! 149/6Extras1 (b 1)TOTAL150/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Smriti Mandhana, 2.2 ov), 2-23 (Shafali Verma, 3.6 ov), 3-115 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 15.5 ov), 4-134 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 17.4 ov), 5-145 (Richa Ghosh, 18.6 ov), 6-149 (Pooja Vastrakar, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 Horrible mix-up and Samarawickrama is run-out. Big, big wicket given how fluent she looked. Perera comes down to turn the full toss towards midwicket, where Mandhana half-stops it. Samarawickrama was watching it all play out as Perera came down for the run, and then responded late. By then, Mandhana gathered herself and fired the throw to the keeper. 48/33.3 Deepti has worked Athapaththu over to earn this wicket and it's a massive one! Not giving her any freebies, she slows it down and flights it to bowl full around off. It turns slightly and Athapaththu looks to slog it over the on side. Only gets a top edge as Renuka comes in from square leg to pouch it safely. 25/15.1 Bull's eye from Deepti Sharma! Shehani seems to be short but it is referred upstairs. Floated fuller around middle, she lunges and pushes it with soft hands towards the off side and sprints to the other end. Deepti gets to the ball quickly to her right, takes her aim and fires a direct hit. She is well short and that's a massive jolt for Sri Lanka. 39/217.2 Reverses, finds backward point! Perera shaped for the shot early, so Deepti pulled her length back. It was coming at her, so she stood up and tried to swat it away. Got it flat and straight to Yadav. 108/98.3 Vastrakar strikes and it is the first wicket to a pacer in this Asia Cup! Bowls it fuller and around off and gets it to nip back in. De Silva goes back to turn it across but is beaten for the pace and is struck in front. As plumb as they get. 56/410.5 Balloons off the pull to mid-on! It was on a back of length outside off, Dilhari tried to drag it straight, went through with the swing, but got it off the edge. Renuka takes a dolly to hand the only pacer to have found success in this tournament to get her second. 61/513.5 Rapped in front, given LBW. Looked plumb. It pitched around middle and leg and spun away just a bit. Beat the sweep and there was a big appeal. The umpire was convinced. 81/616.1 Slog swept, taken at cow corner! It was full and slow on the stumps, Ranasinghe got on one knee and whacked it. The shot selection was good but the timing wasn't good enough to clear it. 102/716.4 Driven but straight to Mandhana! It was full and wide, she tried to slap it but got it off the toe-end, straight to short cover, placed a pitch or two to the right. 106/818.2 Down the track, misses the swipe, and Richa Ghosh takes off the bails. It was very slow and wide, just pushing the full length. Kulasuriya tried to slap it away but had to reach out and get to the pitch. She couldn't do either and Ghosh collected it well to give Hemalatha her third. 109/10Extras13 (b 4, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL109 all out (18.2 Overs, RR: 5.94)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Chamari Athapaththu, 3.3 ov), 2-39 (Malsha Shehani, 5.1 ov), 3-48 (Harshitha Samarawickrama, 7.2 ov), 4-56 (Nilakshika Silva, 8.3 ov), 5-61 (Kavisha Dilhari, 10.5 ov), 6-81 (Anushka Sanjeewani, 13.5 ov), 7-102 (Oshadi Ranasinghe, 16.1 ov), 8-106 (Sugandika Kumari, 16.4 ov), 9-108 (Hasini Perera, 17.2 ov), 10-109 (Achini Kulasuriya, 18.2 ov)
