Dewmi Vihanga to Chloe Tryon, out Caught by Nilakshi de Silva!! Oh, that's a brilliant catch in the deep by Nilakshi de Silva, for a moment she wasn't sure if she had touched the ropes. She hasn't and is then mobbed by her teammates, the 3rd umpire will have a look, but reckon this is a clean catch. 'Catch of the tournament' for sure and this will take some beating. Sri Lanka have been very sloppy in the field today, but they've conjured up something special here. A disbelieving Tryon walks away, came down the pitch, got right to the pitch of the ball and then lofted it cleanly through the line, was soaring away over the ropes until NIlakshi intercepted, ran to her left, dived and got both hands, held on even as she tumbled onto the ground. Chloe Tryon c Nilakshi de Silva b Dewmi Vihanga 35(40) [4s-4]

Dewmi Vihanga to Luus, out Bowled!! Timber! Dewmi Vihanga punches the air in delight as she gets her second wicket in quick succession! She goes wider of the crease and bowls it slow through the air. Keeps it on a back of a length outside off. Luus had shuffled across her stumps in a bid to work it around the corner but plays around it. It deflects off her pads and goes onto hit the stumps. A soft dismissal for Luus but she looked good till she was there. Luus b Dewmi Vihanga 31(39) [4s-3]
