Sri Lanka Women vs India Women, 1st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Deepti Sharma to Achini Kulasuriya, out Caught by Rodrigues!! A superb running catch in the deep by Jemimah and SL have been bowled out for 147 - was a well flighted delivery and Achini Kulasuriya swung it over mid-wicket, hung in the air for a long time, allowing Jemimah to run in from the deep, she then threw herself forward and comes up with a fine two-handed catch, even as she tumbled onto the ground. Achini Kulasuriya c Rodrigues b Deepti Sharma 17(34) [4s-1]

Arundhati Reddy to Malki Madara, out Malki Madara Run Out!! 2 runs completed. A chipped drive and Malki Madara does well to clear extra-cover, but has she run herself OUT? Was looking for the third run and was almost near the bowler's end when sent back, the return is weak and then Richa Ghosh walks onto the stumps before breaking it. A desperate dive in the end, but Malki Madara's still short, by a yard. A run-out and Sri Lanka lose their 9th wicket. Think the 3rd run was on, was hit well and almost well all the way to the ropes before being hauled in by a diving effort, but Kulasuriya wasn't alive to her partner's call. Malki Madara run out (Harmanpreet Kaur/Richa Ghosh) 2(2)

Deepti Sharma to Anushka Sanjeewani, out Stumped!! This was coming - nicely bowled by Deepti, slowed down the pace on the off-break - Sanjeewani came down on a pre-empted charge, swung right across the line and is left stranded in the middle as Richa Ghosh does the rest. An useful knock from the wicket-keeper batter, but Sri Lanka needed a lotr more. Anushka Sanjeewani st Richa Ghosh b Deepti Sharma 22(39) [4s-3]

Sneh Rana to Achini Kulasuriya, FOUR, nicely played, Kulasuriya brings out the reverse sweep, gets on top of the bounce and then places it square past backward point

Kashvee Gautam to Anushka Sanjeewani, FOUR, clubbed, another slower ball but this is right in the slot - Sanjeewani clears her front-foot and hammers it over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes

Arundhati Reddy to Achini Kulasuriya, no run, a chance and Arundhati fails to grab it, back of a length and just outside off - flat-batted back to the bowler. Arundhati pushed her right hand across and it didn't stick

Nallapureddy Charani to Anushka Sanjeewani, FOUR, nicely played, Sanjeewani shimmies down the pitch, gets close to the ball and that callows her to play across the line, hoists it over wide mid-on for a boundary

Nallapureddy Charani to Piumi Badalge, out Caught by Pratika Rawal!! That's a sitter at mid-on and Sri Lanka are losing their way completely. Wasn't short enough for the pull and Badalge struck it high off the bat, wasn't in a great position, got cramped for room and chipped a simple catch to Pratika Rawal. Piumi Badalge c Pratika Rawal b Nallapureddy Charani 2(7)

Kashvee Gautam to Anushka Sanjeewani, FOUR, hammered, fuller length delivery outside off - Sanjeewani leans forward and drills it over mid-off, gets enough to clear the leaping fielder and races away to the ropes

Nallapureddy Charani to Kavisha Dilhari, out Caught by Arundhati Reddy!! A bad miscue and Dilhari has holed out to cover. That's a waste of a wicket and Charani has her maiden ODI wicket. Was nicely tossed up and drifted away with the angle, Dilhari was lured by the flight, but she ended up swiping it across the line, slices a thick edge and Arundathi does the rest, trekking back from cover. Kavisha Dilhari c Arundhati Reddy b Nallapureddy Charani 25(26) [4s-3]

Deepti Sharma to Kavisha Dilhari, 2 runs, Deepti drifts one onto the pad,s Dilhari plays late and behind square on the on-side with the nudge, rushes back for the second and brings up SL's 100

Deepti Sharma to Kavisha Dilhari, FOUR, cracking shot, a floaty delivery outside off - Dilhari shimmies down the pitch and then goes inside out over cover with a free-flowing drive, runs away to the ropes

Sneh Rana to Nilakshi de Silva, out Caught&Bowled!! Sneh Rana is claiming a return catch. It's definitely taken cleanly, but did it bounce off the pitch or did Dilhari chip it back on the half-volley? The third umpire will have a look - looks like it's the latter and the batter could be in trouble here. She's toe-ended it right back to the bowler, the side angle confirms the decision and Nilakshi de Silva is OUT. A third wicket for Sneh Rana, she's looked so good today, gets this one to drop in front of the right-hander as she gave the charge, catches the toe-end and lobs right back to the bowler. Nilakshi de Silva c and b Sneh Rana 10(13)

Sneh Rana to Kavisha Dilhari, FOUR, lovely, tad too full from Sneh Rana, Dilhari presses forward and then chips the drive over mid-on, bounces away to the ropes

Sneh Rana to Kavisha Dilhari, FOUR, beautifully played,a floaty half-volley wide of off, Dilhari leans into the drive and then punches it into the gap wide of extra-cover, no need to run for those

Sneh Rana to Hansima Karunaratne, out Caught&Bowled!! Four down! Hansima Karunaratne shimmies down the track again, looks to drive hard, doesn't middle it and chips it back to the bowler. Sneh Rana doesn't err. Hansima got a reprieve on 2, was involved in a run-out that led to Harshitha's dismissal and now departs for 4. Hansima Karunaratne c and b Sneh Rana 4(16)

Sneh Rana to Harshitha Madavi, out Harshitha Madavi Run Out!! Mix-up and run-out! Full delivery just outside off, Harshitha Madavi drops it in front of cover with soft hands and sets off for a risky single. Her partner initially responds positively but sends her back. Too late for the left-hander to turn around and make her ground. A throw close to the stumps from Jemimah and Richa Ghosh completes the formalities. Harshitha Madavi run out (Rodrigues/Richa Ghosh) 14(24) [4s-1]

Sneh Rana to Hansima Karunaratne, byes, FOUR, missed stumping! Floated up delivery, Hansima comes down the track and is beaten in the flight. The ball spins in a long way, beats the inside edge and even the keeper is bamboozled by the spin and bounce. Doesn't even get close to the ball

Nallapureddy Charani to Harshitha Madavi, FOUR, uppish and safe! Harshitha comes down the track and doesn't quite middle it as she looks to go over midwicket. Beats the diving mid-on fielder to her left and the ball runs away to the fence

Sneh Rana to Hasini Perera, out Lbw!! Gone! Sneh Rana bowls a flat ball on a length that skids off the deck, Hasini Perera moves across to work it through the leg-side and gets beaten on the inside edge to get rapped on the pads as she's late into her shot. Confident shout and the umpire wasted no time to raise the dreaded finger. Hasini Perera lbw b Sneh Rana 30(46) [4s-4]

Sneh Rana to Hasini Perera, byes, FOUR, a high full toss from Sneh Rana - probably slipped out of her hand. Hasini Perera throws her arms at it, probably gets some wood on it and the ball runs away to the fence. Given as byes though. Not no-balled as the ball was dipping

Nallapureddy Charani to Hasini Perera, 1 run, slightly shorter and that's been worked through square leg

Nallapureddy Charani to Hasini Perera, byes, FOUR, goes for the reverse-sweep, misses, not too far away from the off-stump and even the keeper can't stop it as she doesn't get behind it. Runs away to the fence four byes

Arundhati Reddy to Hasini Perera, FOUR, fuller and on the pads, glanced away to fine leg for a boundary

Deepti Sharma to Hasini Perera, FOUR, Deepti goes full outside off and Hasini Perera gets down on one leg to sweep it hard through midwicket. The placement is spot-on

Arundhati Reddy to Chamari Athapaththu, out Caught by Richa Ghosh!! Vociferous appeal for caught behind and the finger goes up. Arundhati Reddy is pumped up. This is a big wicket. Short of length ball outside off, Chamari Athapaththu shapes to cut and gets undone by the lack of bounce. A faint under-edge and the keeper - standing up to the stumps - gathers it. India get the breakthrough. Chamari Athapaththu c Richa Ghosh b Arundhati Reddy 7(18) [4s-1]

Kashvee Gautam to Hasini Perera, FOUR, full again, Hasini Perera shuffles across and brings her bottom hand into play to heave it across the line. Deep backward square leg runs across and dives to her right but in vain

Arundhati Reddy to Chamari Athapaththu, FOUR, full outside off, Chamari Athapaththu gets forward and opens the bat-face to expertly drive it between backward point and short third man. Despite the rain, the outfield is pretty quick

Kashvee Gautam to Hasini Perera, FOUR, first boundary of the match! Back of a length ball, Perera swivels and pulls it behind square on the leg-side
