Sugandika Kumari to Sneh Rana, out Stumped!! 275 is all India will get. Superbly bowled final over and Sugandika Kumari has another wicket to show for it as well.

Chamari Athapaththu to Kashvee Gautam, out Caught by Vishmi Gunaratne!! Chamari Athapaththu has got two in the over! Skipper leading from the front here and India's hopes of posting anything in excess of 280 are getting snuffed out. Tossed up full on off-stump, Kashvee Gautam leant in looking to slog-sweep, didn't get it out of the middle and she holed out to deep mid-wicket. Safely held down there and Kashvee Gautam departs. Kashvee Gautam c Vishmi Gunaratne b Chamari Athapaththu 17(11) [4s-3]

Chamari Athapaththu to Deepti Sharma, out Lbw!! Well she's got her next ball anyway! The skipper gets another breakthrough and India are losing their way just a little towards the end here. Tossed up very full on middle-leg, Deepti Sharma walked across her stumps and got down low to sweep, didn't quite have the room and it snuck under the bat before hitting the pad. It pitched on middle and turned so the question was if the impact was in line, marginal but the umpire thought it did. Deepti Sharma lbw b Chamari Athapaththu 24(30) [4s-1]

Sugandika Kumari to Kashvee Gautam, FOUR, she's found the gap! Tossed up full on middle-leg, Kashvee Gautam cleared her front-leg and swung hard, got it off the inner half but that meant that it perfectly split the long-on and deep mid-wicket fielders

Chamari Athapaththu to Kashvee Gautam, FOUR, that's nicely struck! Floated up full outside off, Kashvee Gautam leant right in and slog-swept it towards deep mid-wicket, just bounced inside the ropes so it'll be a boundary, the umpire had initially signalled six

Sugandika Kumari to Richa Ghosh, out Caught by Malki Madara!! She's picked the fielder out! Sri Lanka have managed to get rid of the dangerous Richa Ghosh! Length delivery on middle, Richa Ghosh leant forward and looked to slog-sweep this over cow corner, couldn't quite get the elevation and she holed out to the fielder stationed there. A very important knock from Richa Ghosh nonetheless, she'll be disappointed she couldn't add on to it. Richa Ghosh c Malki Madara b Sugandika Kumari 58(48) [4s-5 6s-3]

W
Chamari Athapaththu to Rodrigues, out Lbw!! Loud appeal for leg before and the finger goes up! Chamari Athapaththu makes up for putting Rodrigues down earlier. Tossed up full on off-stump, Rodrigues looked to get forward and work it into the leg-side across the line, wasn't perfectly balanced and ended up playing all around it as it turned back in just a touch, it beat the inside edge and hit her flush on the front-pad. Looked like a good shout and the umpire didn't hesitate to raise the finger. Another batter who departs after failing to convert her start. Rodrigues lbw b Chamari Athapaththu 37(46) [4s-3]
