- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.3 Looks like Shafali is gone. Magar strikes again. Drags the length back, pace off, outside off stump, Shafali goes for a wild swing and misses. Keeper is quick to dislodge the bails. Replays confirm that Shafali is nowhere near the crease. Departs for her career-best 81 133/213.6 Magar gets the breakthrough! Full toss around off stump, Hemalatha comes down the track and heaves this towards long on. Rubina juggles before completing the catch. Thereby denying Hemalatha her maiden T20I fifty 122/118.3 Sajana gone for 10! She moves across to guide this behind square, doesn't connect it and gets trapped in front. It's a length delivery on off and middle 156/3Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL178/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-122 (Dayalan Hemalatha, 13.6 ov), 2-133 (Shafali Verma, 15.3 ov), 3-156 (Sajeevan Sajana, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 bowled her! An early wicket for India and Reddy, who returns to the side today. Sharp inswing for Reddy, who pitched on the slightly shorter side of a length on middle and leg, getting the ball to move in the air considerably. Khadka went swiping but missed, as the ball struck the leg stump 8/110.2 bowled her! Reddy angles this in from around the wicket, and Magar is almost cramped for room. On a length around middle and off, and seams back in to finish on middle, with Magar trying to dab it down but getting late on the shot. The ball went in between bat and pad, and hit the stumps 52/44.4 chipped to mid-off! Mandhana takes it with a reverse cup above her head, while moving to her right. Renuka bowled full and just outside off to Kunwar, who was standing outside the crease, and looked to repeat that loft over mid-off, which had got her four. But this hardly came off the middle of the bat, and just spooned up for a simple catch 21/29.2 swung away to long-on, who is halfway into the field of play! Radha bowled on a length just outside off, getting it to dip, as Barma went hoicking across the line, but didn't get the power required to clear the boundary 43/313.4 chopped on! Deepti went short of a length around fifth stump, and much quicker than the previous ball. Chettry looked to open her stance up and swat-pull, but the ball seemed to skid through off the pitch. Eventually, Chettry ended up getting a bottom edge on to her stumps 64/514.6 direct hit from cover, and this goes to the third umpire! Ahh, Mahato seemed a bit too casual while trying to get back to the crease, with the bat ending up outside before the ball struck the base of the stumps. The length from Renuka was very full and around off, as Mahato jammed it towards cover, and was sent back by Rawal. But Deepti's direct hit catches her short, even as she seemed to take her time to get back into the crease 70/713.6 pins her in front! Just half an appeal for lbw, before the umpire raises her finger. Deepti tossed it up, and got it to dip on a stump-to-stump line. Joshi had her front foot planted on middle while looking to flick, but was beaten by the length of the ball to be hit on her toe 64/616.2 ohh, caught behind! A soft dismissal, though. Slow and fullish just outside off from Radha, with the ball turning away late. Bhatta looked to poke at it by opening the face of the bat, and got a faint outside edge. Ghosh did well for India by moving to her right with the turn 82/819.2 return catch for Deepti, seemingly. But this will be checked by the third umpire. It is not a no-ball, firstly. Deepti bowled on a full length, and pretty quick just outside off. Shrestha looked to swat back, but the ball rushed through towards her, and she ended up chipping it back to Deepti, who went low with her fingers just under the ball to grab the catch 93/9Extras8 (lb 5, w 3)TOTAL96/9 (20 Overs, RR: 4.8)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Samjhana Khadka, 1.4 ov), 2-21 (Kabita Kunwar, 4.4 ov), 3-43 (Indu Barma, 9.2 ov), 4-52 (Sita Rana Magar, 10.2 ov), 5-64 (Rubina Chhetry, 13.4 ov), 6-64 (Kabita Joshi, 13.6 ov), 7-70 (Puja Mahato, 14.6 ov), 8-82 (Dolly Bhatta, 16.2 ov), 9-93 (Kajal Shrestha, 19.2 ov)
