- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 comes down and she's stumped! Superb work from Radha there; she sees Muneeba coming down and fires in an arm ball at 80kmh pretty flight outside off. Muneeba swipes at it, misses and Richa Ghosh completes the stumping 42/21.4 taken at short fine leg! Harmanpreet moved from slip to short fine leg, Deepti bowled on the stumps, and Javeria went for a sweep kind of swipe only to hand a top edge for an easy catch to the India captain 10/17.3 a loud appeal for caught behind and the umpire shakes her head. India ponder over and take a review Vastrakar banged in a bouncer and Dar went for the pull but the ball went to the keeper down the leg side. Let's see if there's an edge or glove here. UltraEdge shows there could be two spikes! There's a tiny one when the ball goes past the bat, and a bigger when the ball is near the right glove, so the decision is overturned. Big wicket for India 43/312.1 Ameen is walking because she knows that has come off the glove. Awkward way to get out, she wouldn't want to see the replay. Good length ball around off. Ameen tries the reverse sweep, but she's through the shot too early. Hits the glove, hits the back of the bat, and the ball pops up for a catch that Richa Ghosh could take in her sleep 68/4Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL149/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.45)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Javeria Khan, 1.4 ov), 2-42 (Muneeba Ali, 6.5 ov), 3-43 (Nida Dar, 7.3 ov), 4-68 (Sidra Amin, 12.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 Bhatia chips it straight to cover! She came down to make it a full delivery, drove it against the turn, and handed it straight to Fatima at cover 38/19.1 stunning catch at the boundary to remove Shafali Verma! Shafali danced down the pitch, hammered it down the ground and absolutely straight where Sidra Ameen went to her right from long-off, stuck her hands out to her right around shoulder height, hung on to it as she was about to lose her balance and stayed just inside even after a small jump. She pumps the air in celebration! 65/213.3 full ball just outside off. Harmanpreet has made a big error here by trying to slog sweep across the line. She could've played out Sandhu's spell, instead tries to play against the turn. Top-edge, ball whizzes towards short third, and the fielder keeps her cool to gobble it up. Second wicket in a terrific spell from Sandhu. 93/3Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL151/3 (19 Overs, RR: 7.94)Fall of wickets: 1-38 (Yastika Bhatia, 5.3 ov), 2-65 (Shafali Verma, 9.1 ov), 3-93 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 13.3 ov)
