- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 Finger goes up! Shafali succumbs to dot ball pressure. Full length delivery on off stump spins away a bit, Shafali comes down the track to hit this across the line but fails to connect. Gets hit on front pad. Would be hitting the middle stump I feel. There's no DRS to check this. Big wicket for Sri Lanka 44/116.5 Athapaththu has taken a stunner now! Looks like she can do everything on the field. Dilhari creates a chance with a full delivery wide of off, Mandhana goes for a wild swing towards deep midwicket. Athapaththu runs in a few yards and takes a superb running catch 133/58.1 Strikes straightaway! Chetry has to depart for nine. Full length delivery on off and middle, she misses the line completely and goes for a sweep, is trapped lbw. Chamari is delighted 58/211.6 Leading edge and gone! Nisansala gets the breakthrough. Sri Lanka fielding is on point. Full length delivery outside off, she looks to hit this towards on side but it comes off the edge of the bat towards cover. Silva is quick to come forward and put in a dive to complete the catch. Massive wicket 87/316.1 Looks like Rodrigues is out! goes deep in crease and flick s to deep square leg. Goes for a second run but Sanjeewani is quick to whip the bails off, Rodrigues put in a full stretch dive yet falls short of the crease. Gone for 29 128/419.4 Ghosh departs after a superb knock! This felt unnecessary though. Fuller and wide of off, she shuffles across and tries a scoop shot but doesn't come off the middle. It's hit straight to keeper 164/6Extras4 (nb 1, w 3)TOTAL165/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-44 (Shafali Verma, 6.2 ov), 2-58 (Uma Chetry, 8.1 ov), 3-87 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 11.6 ov), 4-128 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 16.1 ov), 5-133 (Smriti Mandhana, 16.5 ov), 6-164 (Richa Ghosh, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 a mix-up and Gunaratne has been run out. It was a length ball that came in with the angle. Gunaratne placed it to the right of short midwicket and set off. Athapaththu took a couple of steps down before changing her mind. It was too late by then. Gunaratne was next to her. Chetry fields the ball and lobs it to Ghosh who breaks the stumps 7/111.6 bowled around the legs! A huge, huge wicket. Is this the match and the title? Too full, just outside the leg stump. Athapaththu looks to smash it away but fails to connect and the ball crashes into the stumps. Athapaththu departs for an excellent 61 off 43 balls.
