    6.6 Excellent catch from Dilhari at long-off and her roar says it all. She judges the smash from Devine absolutely perfectly, keeps here eye on it as she gets to her right, her momentum was talking her back but she took the catch, kept her balance and stayed inside and ended it with a roar. Devine couldn't resist the flight and looked to tonk it over the bowler's head for her 100th T20I six but it wasn't to be. 51/1
    11.6 Sanjeewani, you beauty! Another terrific catch by the wicketkeeper and she's helped Ranasinghe dismiss the key batter Bates. She looks to sweep with the spin against the tossed up ball but manages a top edge. Sanjeewani covers good ground towards point to take it with a dive. 79/4
    8.5 Massive strike! Amelia Kerr at No. 3 has been a revelation and Sri Lanka have managed to see her back cheaply. Ranaweera darts one in on a fuller length, Kerr goes back to pull it but is done in by the length and the pace. Loses her stumps and walks back dejected. 60/2
    11.3 Caught behind? Or stumping chance missed? Sanjeewani knows that Green has nicked it and the umpire concurs. So Sri Lanka have their third. Terrific catch from the wicketkeeper. Green charged down to take Ranasinghe on but was deceived in the flight. Went through with the shot and the spin meant she was beaten on the inside. But Sanjeewani knew that there was enough tickle. Did well to catch that despite being blinded by the batter charging down. 77/3
    18.1 And Halliday pops it straight to Athapaththu at short cover. She cannot believe what she has done. Full ball going across, slapped straight to the fielder. Just what Sri Lanka would have wanted. 120/6
    13.5 Bowled or stumped? Sanjeewani is pumped up and the TV umpire will have to be involved. Floats the arm ball full outside off, Jensen looks to drive but misses. The ball goes straight on and off Sanjeewani's glove to disturb the bails. Jensen is way out of her crease and has to walk back. Sri Lanka are all over New Zealand and it's a phenomenon called spin that has been in the midst of it. 89/5
    18.6 Gaze falls short at the non-striker's end. Tahuhu comes down and plays it across the line through midwicket. Strangely wants a second despite it being the last ball of the over. The throw is flat to the bowler and Gaze is nowhere in the frame. 134/7

    0.4 NZ's missed review does not matter as Athapaththu has been castled by an inswinger from Jensen. Poor, poor shot from the Sri Lanka captain. Walks down the track to flick it but almost yorks herself up, misses the ball completely and sees her leg stump go for a walk. Very ungainly stay in the middle. 0/1
    4.5 Top edge and Gunaratne has to go. Walks down and across and tries to fetch the heave from outside off. It was the length ball. But she is not in control of it and gets it off the top edge that finds Green at mid-on. 14/2
    6.2 Perera's misery ends. She goes for 8 having consumed 19 balls. She walks down and looks to go over mid-off but finds Rowe to perfection, who manages to hold on to it with her fingertips. 18/3
    7.4 Gaze and Mair think Samarawickrama has nicked it. New Zealand review. She had walked across to play the scoop to the ball angling down leg. Gaze dives to her right to take that. The Snick confirms the ball brushes the glove and New Zealand have one more. 24/4
    17.1 Amelia Kerr is on the board! Tossed up wrong'un outside off, de Silva dances down to get it over mid-off but fails as Green holds on after taking a couple of steps backwards. 84/8
    8.4 Not a bad shout for lbw. Not given on-field and New Zealand review. Dilhari looks to sweep this but misses and is hit on the front pad. Looks to be quite plumb. It is plumb, as Hawk Eye returns three reds. Maiden international wicket for Carson. Her hair are ruffled and will have to do them again but she won't mind. 32/5
    12.4 Second wicket for Carson and it is catching practice for Rowe at mid-off. Flighted full outside off, Kanchana comes down to hit it over mid-off but fails to get the elevation. 56/6
    14.3 Played on! Third wicket for Jensen. Spears it full and just outside off, Sanjeewani looks to drive but ends up squeezing it back onto her stumps. 68/7
