- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Kumari has two! And another great grab from Sanjeewani! Similar to the last one, it's the arm ball fired in slightly short of a length outside off. Ali looks to cut and gets a healthy nick through. Sanjeewani bobbles on the first try but manages to grab the rebound and Kumari is stoked! 17/21.6 Sri Lanka strike early! Excellent grab behind the stumps by Sanjeewani, as Feroza saunters down the track and has a wild heave at this one outside off. Gets a thick edge that is well held by the keeper 6/15.5 Pakistan lose their third! Amin goes for yet another sweep, but this is outside off and she can only top edge it straight up. Athapaththu calls early and settles under it, and she makes no mistake 32/39.6 Beautifully set up! Another one on off, another one much slower at 66kph. Goes again for the sweep but she's way too early on it. Goes to the right of square leg right off the toe end of the bat, as a good catch is taken. 57/412.3 Cleaned up! Nida Dar exposes her stumps, moving away to go towards off side but perishes. Full length delivery around middle and off stump, she misses and now has to depart 72/513.2 Another one departs! Really good catch from the SL keeper. Slightly full outside off stump, Tuba tries to cut this away on the backfoot, doesn't connect properly, gets an edge to Sanjeewani. That will be Chamari's second wicket of the match 74/619.1 Big appeal for caught behind but umpire is unmoved. Full length delivery outside off stump, Sana steps out to slash this but misses, or did she get an edge? Sri Lanka take the review. UltraEdge shows there is spike and a clear deflection. Athapaththu gets excited. Sana falls for 30 off 20. She is clearly disappointed 112/913.3 Chamari on a hat-trick! Huge wicket for Sri Lanka. Fires in a full length delivery on the middle stump, Riaz, the finisher, misses the line trying to put this towards leg side and gets hit on front pad. Pakistan review this but there is no bat involved. Looks plumb, and yes, umpire confirms it. Riaz has to depart 74/714.5 Gone! Sugandika takes her third wicket. Poor batting from Pakistan. Full and around off stump, Baig drags this to leg side. Prabodani, at short midwicket, takes a simple catch to leave Pakistan eight down 84/819.6 Pakistan are all out for 116 Full length delivery outside off, Iqbal tries to hit this aerially but doesn't come off the middle of the bat.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.4 Straight to the hands of Amin! It is Sandhu once again, giving no pace at all. Full length ball on off stump, Gunaratne hits it straight down the ground but fails to clear the fence 52/52.2 Huuuge wicket! Fatima gets her Sri Lankan counterpart with one that's full on off. Athapaththu looks for the lofted cover drive but she's not quite to the pitch. Doesn't time it and ends up simply chipping to extra cover, who takes a smart catch to her left 9/15.5 Pakistan have another! This one is short but keeps a low and Harshitha gets nowhere near it. Goes for the pull but plays right over it as the ball crashes just below the middle of middle stump. Pakistan are right in this game 25/27.5 Omaima with a beauty! This was slow through the air, on a good length. Pitches middle and grips just enough to turn past Hasini's forward push. Crashes into the off stump 35/310.5 Sandhu strikes! Another wicket falls for Sri Lanka. Tossed up around off stump, no pace, Dilhari hits this uppishly only to be caught at long-on 47/418.2 Nilakshika departs, Iqbal gets the wicket. Full length delivery around off stump, pace off, she gets down on one knee and goes for a sweep, gets an edge to short fine leg. Pakistan inching close to victory 81/716.4 Straight to the fielder! Full length ball on middle and leg stump, flicks this towards deep midwicket. She thought she hit this well but couldn't clear the fence. The ball lands straight into the hands of Feroza. SL six down with the last recognised batter departing 70/619.2 Sana gets her second. Goes full and wide of off stump, Nisansala tries to scoop this behind but the ball just goes straight to Muneeba 83/918.3 Back-to-back wickets for Iqbal! Fires in a full length delivery around off stump, she moves across and goes for a sweep and misses. Looks plumb but Sri Lanka will review this. There is no bat involved. Ball tracking shows it would have hit the stumps. Kumari has to leave immediately 81/8Extras8 (b 2, lb 2, w 4)TOTAL85/9 (20 Overs, RR: 4.25)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Chamari Athapaththu, 2.2 ov), 2-25 (Harshitha Samarawickrama, 5.5 ov), 3-35 (Hasini Perera, 7.5 ov), 4-47 (Kavisha Dilhari, 10.5 ov), 5-52 (Vishmi Gunaratne, 12.4 ov), 6-70 (Anushka Sanjeewani, 16.4 ov), 7-81 (Nilakshika Silva, 18.2 ov), 8-81 (Sugandika Kumari, 18.3 ov), 9-83 (Sachini Nisansala, 19.2 ov)
