Sneh Rana to Harshitha Samarawickrama

Rana is lucky to get away! Tries to get the yorker in but slips in a high full toss, on off. Harshitha Samarawickrama backs away and flays it over point. Sree Charani goes after it and slides to prevent the boundary. Three runs taken. It seemed over the waist but the umpire is happy with it.

17.3

Sneh Rana to Kaushini Nuthyangana

Floated up, full and on middle and leg, Kaushini has a hoick across the line. She gets more height than distance but luckily for her, the ball lands away from the deep mid-wicket fielder. They cross.

17.4

Sneh Rana to Harshitha Samarawickrama

OUT! KAUSHINI NUTHYANGANA IS RUN OUT! Very full, outside off, Harshitha Samarawickrama smashes it towards extra cover. It is hit straight to Harmanpreet Kaur there, but Kaushini sets off and is more than halfway through the run when Harshitha sends her back. Kaur picks it up cleanly and throws it on the bounce at the bowling end. Rana gets behind the stumps to collect the throw and breaks the stumps to catch Nuthyangana short of her crease despite the desperate dive.

17.5

Sneh Rana to Harshitha Samarawickrama

OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust. Speared in by Rana, full and on middle and leg, Harshitha Samarawickrama clears the front leg, gets down on a knee and attempts the slog sweep.

16.4

Sree Charani to Hasini Perera

OUT! BOWLED! Sree Charani fights back. Charani nails the yorker, right at the base of the middle and leg stump. Hasini gives herself room to access the off side and then, seeing the length, she hurriedly drops her bat down. Ends up deflecting the ball onto the off stump off the toe end of the blade. End of a fighting knock from Perera. 65 (42) for her. Sri Lanka Women are now 132/5, needing 44 runs from 20 balls.

Amanjot Kaur to Hasini Perera

FIFTY FOR HASINI PERERA! It's been a long time coming but Hasini has her maiden T20I half-century. On a good length, on middle. Perera walks across and flicks it to deep mid-wicket for a single. Just a raise of the bat as Hasini knows what the bigger picture is.

15.3

Amanjot Kaur to Harshitha Samarawickrama

Full and outside off, Harshitha Samarawickrama drags it in front of square on the leg side for one.

15.4

Amanjot Kaur to Hasini Perera

FOUR! Good use of the crease! Pitched up, across off, Perera knows that square leg is inside the circle. She walks across her stumps and smears it to the left of deep mid-wicket. Sneh Rana gives it a chase and dives but in vain.

Amanjot Kaur to Hasini Perera

Low full toss, outside off, smacked to deep cover for a single.

14.1

Vaishnavi Sharma to Hasini Perera

'Catch,' is the call but it falls in no man's land. Nicely flighted around off, not all that full. Hasini Perera steps out to go big but lofts it without any timing towards the vacant mid on region for a single.

14.2

Vaishnavi Sharma to Kavisha Dilhari

FOUR! That's an eye-catching shot from Kavisha Dilhari. Tossed up, full and outside off, Kavisha goes on one knee and hammers it flat through extra cover. Amanjot Kaur races across the turf to her left from long off but can't cut off the boundary.

14.3

Vaishnavi Sharma to Kavisha Dilhari

OUT! BOWLED'EM! Vaishnavi Sharma gets into the wicket-taking act now and Sri Lanka Women lose their 4th wicket. Vaishnavi cleverly drags the length back and angles it into the middle and leg stump. Kavisha Dilhari pre-empts the sweep a bit but doesn't get to the pitch of the ball and it beats the bat to smash into the leg peg.

14.4

Vaishnavi Sharma to Harshitha Samarawickrama

Flighted ball on off and middle, Harshitha Samarawickrama clisp it away in front of mid-wicket and picks up a single.

14.5

Vaishnavi Sharma to Hasini Perera

Lovely flight and guile from Vaishnavi Sharma. This is lobbed up on a length and outside off, the ball dips as well. Hasini Perera looks to sweep but is well beaten.

14.6

Vaishnavi Sharma to Hasini Perera

FOUR! Nicely played. Marginally short and outside off, Hasini Perera waits on the back foot and cuts it firmly past point for a boundary. Perera moves on to 49 with that shot.

Deepti Sharma to Hasini Perera

In the air but it will land safely. Tossed up on the pads, Hasini Perera sits down to sweep but gets a top edge over the square leg region for a single. The 100 is also up for Sri Lanka Women.

13.3

Deepti Sharma to Nilakshika Silva

OUT! LBW! Deepti Sharma strikes in her final over but this is reviewed by Nilakshika Silva. Flatter ball from Deepti, this is the one that comes from the front of the hand and it is darted straight at the stumps. Silva gets a bit across to flick but the ball straightens off the deck and beats the outside edge to strike the pads. The third umpire is called in and there's no spike on UltraEdge to begin with. Ball Tracking then comes off with three reds and Deepti finally gets to T20I wicket number 152, surpassing Megan Schutt as the leading wicket-taker in Women's T20I history.

13.4

Deepti Sharma to Kavisha Dilhari

Tossed up, full and flat on middle. Kavisha Dilhari is late to judge the trajectory but does well to block it off.

13.6

Amanjot Kaur to Imesha Dulani

OUT! CAUGHT! What an inspired bowling change and Amanjot Kaur strikes on her very first delivery. Kaur pitches the ball full and outside off, inviting the big shot. It is there to be hit and Imesha Dulani goes after it, but the bat turns in her hand and she hits it straight to Shafali Verma on the edge of the inner ring at extra cover. Shafali makes no mistake and Dulani walks back disappointed after scoring a maiden half-century.

11.2

Amanjot Kaur to Nilakshika Silva

Full of a good length, darted into the pads. Nilakshika Silva tucks it behind square on the leg side and picks up a single.

11.3

Amanjot Kaur to Hasini Perera

Length ball around off, Hasini Perera gets across to the off side to scoop but misses and wears it on the body. That must have stung a bit.

11.4

Amanjot Kaur to Hasini Perera

Good fielding in the deep. Full and outside off, Hasini Perera plays a crisp cover drive and the ball skids through the surface towards the cover fence. However, Arundhati Reddy runs to her left from sweeper cover and dives in to save two runs.

11.5

Amanjot Kaur to Hasini Perera

FOUR! Poor delivery and gleefully dispatched by Hasini. A juicy and high full toss around off, Hasini Perera accepts the gift and muscles it wide of long on for a boundary.

11.6

Amanjot Kaur to Hasini Perera

Length ball around off, heaved away to the left of long on for a single this time. 8 runs and a wicket off the over.

FOUR! Through the inner ring again! Flatter and fuller outside off, Dulani smacks it to the left of Deepti Sharma at extra cover and gets it through for another boundary.

Flatter and a bit straighter on off, tucked away into the leg side for a single by Dulani, who moves to 49.

10.4

Vaishnavi Sharma to Hasini Perera

Tossed up, full and around off, driven back past the bowler and down to long off for one more.

10.5

Vaishnavi Sharma to Imesha Dulani

A maiden T20I FIFTY FOR IMESHA DULANI! Tossed up on off and middle, Imesha Dulani uses her feet to smother the spin and works it wide of long on for a single. This has been a very well-compiled knock from Imesha but she knows she has a lot more work to do in this game.

10.6

Vaishnavi Sharma to Hasini Perera

Nice and full outside off, stroked away to cover-point by Perera.

Very full and quicker through the air, on off, driven to cover.

9.3

Sree Charani to Imesha Dulani

Nice and full at the sticks, Dulani plays it down the deck and Charani gets around to her right to prevent the single.

9.4

Sree Charani to Imesha Dulani

Keeps it full, on middle, Dulani clears the front leg and has a swipe across the line. Gets a feather of an inside edge onto the pads and it rolls to short fine leg.

9.5

Sree Charani to Imesha Dulani

Shorter and on middle, Dulani shovels it to deep square leg for one.

9.6

Sree Charani to Hasini Perera

FOUR! Streaky but Hasini Perera will take it! At the stumps, fuller in length, Perera backs away and tries to force it through the off side. The ball catches an outside edge and races past short third for a boundary. Sri Lanka Women need 101 runs in 60 balls.

Vaishnavi Sharma to Imesha Dulani

Slower through the air, on the shorter side, around off, Imesha Dulani waits back and jabs it towards mid-wicket for a single.

8.2

Vaishnavi Sharma to Hasini Perera

Looped up, angling away from the left-hander, Hasini wrists it through mid-wicket for one.

8.3

Vaishnavi Sharma to Imesha Dulani

Rapped on the pads but Imesha Dulani was a long way down the track. Not given on-field but Harmanpreet Kaur takes the review after a chat with the keeper. Full and darted in, on middle. Imesha gets down the pitch and sets up to flick it away, but ends up playing all over it. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and hits the batter below the kneeroll on the front pad. The ball is passing close to the bat but there is no spike on UltraEdge when the ball is next to the blade. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball is crashing into the top of the leg pole but the impact is umpire's call (more than 3 metres) and therefore, the on-field call will be upheld.

8.4

Vaishnavi Sharma to Imesha Dulani

Fractionally short, on off, Dulani slaps it hard but Sree Charani dives to her right at backward point and saves at least a couple of runs.

8.5

Vaishnavi Sharma to Imesha Dulani

Floated up, full and on middle and leg, Imesha uses her feet but is beaten on the flick on the inside edge. Gets hit on the front pad but this is going down leg.

8.6

Vaishnavi Sharma to Imesha Dulani

Full and at the pads, Imesha sweeps it hard towards deep backward square leg, where Sneh Rana sprints to her right in the deep and saves a couple of runs for her side with a dive.

Vaishnavi Sharma to Hasini Perera

Slightly slower and fuller too, on off, eased down to long on for a run.

Vaishnavi Sharma to Imesha Dulani

Keeps it short, angled in on middle. Imesha Dulani steps out and turns it towards deep mid-wicket for one more.

6.6

Vaishnavi Sharma to Hasini Perera

FOUR! Absolutely hammered! What was turning out be a quiet over from India's perspective is somewhat spoiled by a boundary on the last ball. A half-tracker, well wide on off, Perera needs no second invitation as she gets on top of it and slaps it through point for a boundary.

Fired right across the right-hander, full in length, Imesha steps out and knocks it in front of mid off for a quick single.

Deepti Sharma to Hasini Perera

Tossed up, full and on middle, flicked through mid-wicket for one more.

5.4

Amanjot Kaur lost it in the lights! Floated up, on middle. Imesha Dulani steps out and has a heave across the line. Hits it flat towards deep mid-wicket, where Amanjot is unable to sight the ball and opts to collect it on the bounce. The batters cross for one.

5.5

Deepti Sharma to Hasini Perera

FOUR! Easy pickings! Too short and enough width for Perera to work with. Hasini stands tall and cuts it past point for a boundary.

5.6

Deepti Sharma to Hasini Perera

Fuller and quicker, across off, Hasini clips it through mid-wicket and keeps the strike with a single. 12 runs off the last over of the Powerplay. At the end of 6 overs, Sri Lanka are 48/1. At the same stage, India were 40/2.

Sneh Rana to Imesha Dulani

FOUR! The boundaries are now flowing thick and fast for Sri Lanka Women. Sneh Rana begins with a flighted ball on leg stump, Dulani sits down and sweeps it behind square leg and the ball races away to the vacant fence behind.

4.2

Sneh Rana to Imesha Dulani

A huge appeal for LBW and that looked pretty plumb but the umpire turns it down. Harmanpreet Kaur has a chat with the bowler and the keeper and the Indian camp feels like there was some bat involved and opts against the review. The replays suggest that the ball flicked both pads and probably this should have been reviewed. Coming to the delivery, it was flighted up on middle and leg, Imesha Dulani went for the sweep again and missed, getting hit on the pads. The Ball Tracking comes as umpire's call with the ball clipping the leg stump, so the decision would have been upheld even if India had reviewed it.

4.3

Sneh Rana to Imesha Dulani

Tossed up on middle and leg, Dulani comes forward and drives it down to long on for a single.

4.4

Sneh Rana to Hasini Perera

OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent catch from Deepti Sharma and Chamari Athapaththu cannot believe her luck. Just before this ball, Deepti went from gully to extra cover and that's exactly where the ball went.

Sharma puts in a full-stretch dive to her right and snaffles it with both hands.

It will be pace from the other end. Here's Arundhati Reddy.

Imesha Dulani walks out to bat.

A halt in the proceedings. It seems like Richa Ghosh needs some assistance from the physio as she seems to be hurt on the left wrist. The Lankan batters take this opportunity to rehydrate as well and thankfully, Richa looks good to continue after the physio applies a bit of the magic spray.

Drinks Break! At the halfway mark in the chase, Sri Lanka Women have just lost 1 wicket for 75 runs but they need to step on the gas a bit more as they still require 101 more runs to win. India Women haven't been able to get regular breakthroughs but have stemmed the flow of runs after the Powerplay and Harmanpreet Kaur will hope that the young left-arm spin duo of Sree Charani and Vaishnavi Sharma is able to get a few wickets as well to tighten the screws. Let's see if this one goes down to the wire or not.

Amanjot Kaur comes on, replacing Sree Charani.

Nilakshika Silva walks out to bat.

Kavisha Dilhari is the new batter.

Harshitha Samarawickrama makes her way out to the middle.

What has happened here? Hasini Perera is walking off the field. A puzzled look on the face of everyone in the Sri Lankan dugout. Oh, thankfully for the tourists, Hasini is returning to bat. Not sure why she had gone off. Anyway, she is ready to resume.

Another halt in the play and the physio is out to have a look at Hasini Perera. Thankfully, it all seems good and we are good to contuinue.

Kaushini Nuthyangana, Sri Lanka Women's wicket-keeper, walks out to bat now.

Rashmika Sewwandi is the next batter in.

Malki Madara is in at number 9 for Sri Lanka Women.

There's just one thing left to do and that's for Harmanpreet Kaur to go and lift the trophy and celebrate with her team. What a year 2025 has been for Women's cricket in general, but it has been extra special for the Women in Blue as they picked up a maiden ODI World Cup title, that too in front of a home crowd and they will be so pleased with the way they have finished the year as well. In 2026, the focus shifts to the Women's T20 World Cup, which is to be played later in the year in England and all teams will be looking forward to it. For now, we hope you enjoyed the coverage and we wish everyone tuning in a Happy New Year in advance. Until next time, take care and goodbye!
