That's all from us, folks. We'll see you tomorrow for more World Cup action with Pakistan taking on South Africa and England playing West Indies, both crucial Group B encounters.

Harmapreet Kaur: It's important to continue momentum. I think the bowlers understood the wicket very well and bowled accordingly. Today I was looking positive, got a few boundaries, hopefully I'll get more runs in the coming games. Shafali loves to play her shots and we don't hold her back.

Chamari Atapattu : I think that score was not enough, we lost couple of chances, specially Shafali, it was hard to stop her. Yeah, I got a good start but unfortunately got out in the 10th, would have wanted to stay in there till the 16th or the 17th over. I hope we can beat Bangladesh in our last game

Radha Yadav is the player of the match: I was just thinking to bowl stump-to-stump, keep it simple. As a bowling unit we did well.

India top the table. Just the performance they needed before the big semi-final. Radha Yadav led the way with her best T20I figures (4 for 23) and Shafali Verma thoroughly entertained again with a quickfire 47 that seemed to instill a lot of fear in the opposition bowlers. Harmanpreet Kaur came up the order and spent some time in the middle, finding the middle of the bat a couple of times before falling for 15. Sri Lanka's bowling was pedestrian and fielding was poor.

Dilhari to Rodrigues, no run, dropped again, really sloppy from Sri Lanka and it's the captain! It was shipped straight to her at midwicket and at no level of cricket should that have gone down
