- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.2 Samarawickrama bites the dust! Given a bit of air on a length just outside off stump. Samarawickrama comes down the track and has an ugly slog at it. The ball grips and spins past the outside edge. Healy, this time, collects cleanly and whips off the bails, with Samarawickrama stranded outside her crease 69/24.5 in the air, and taken superbly! Full delivery on middle and leg stump, and this one seems to just stick in the surface a tad. The ball also bounces a little extra, meaning that Athapaththu, looking to go downtown, splices it. The ball spoons towards mid on, where Grace Harris leaps to her right and completes a stunning grab! Massive moment in the game, and no prizes for guessing who has broken the game open for Australia! 30/117.3 Schutt gets Gunaratne! Full and angled into the batter. Gunaratne backs away and tries to heave it over deep mid wicket. Unfortunately for her, she is cramped for room and can only shank it towards deep mid wicket, where Perry makes up plenty of ground and completes a smart catch! 94/513.6 holes out to long on! Tossed up nicely on a length on middle and off stump, and Ranasinghe's eyes light up. She looks to go over long on but just does not have enough pace to work with. She is also beaten in the flight and has to reach out, eventually offering a tame catch to long on! 69/316.3 chops it on! Given a bit of air on a full length outside off stump. Sanjeewani advances and looks to go over extra cover. She yorks herself slightly, though, and ends up dragging it onto her stumps. Sri Lanka continue losing their way, and Australia continue tightening their grip on this game! 86/419.2 Schutt has another! Full delivery on middle and leg stump. Kanchana has a swish across the line but like many before her, is too early into the stroke. The ball spoons off the leading edge and nestles into Mooney's palms at backward point! 108/619.3 has she been stumped first ball? Length delivery just outside off stump that pitches and nips away. Shehani misses her swing and seems to over-balance too. Healy is quick to whip off the bails but is she quick enough? Looks like she is! An excellent stumping by Healy, and Sri Lanka are now seven down! 108/719.6 another wicket for Schutt! Full and just outside off stump. Kumari advances, swings and misses. Healy fumbles her take initially before recovering and taking off the bails, with Kumari out of her ground! 112/8Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL112/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.6)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Chamari Athapaththu, 4.5 ov), 2-69 (Harshitha Samarawickrama, 13.2 ov), 3-69 (Oshadi Ranasinghe, 13.6 ov), 4-86 (Anushka Sanjeewani, 16.3 ov), 5-94 (Vishmi Gunaratne, 17.3 ov), 6-108 (Ama Kanchana, 19.2 ov), 7-108 (Malsha Shehani, 19.3 ov), 8-112 (Sugandika Kumari, 19.6 ov)
