- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Outstanding from Matthews and Sri Lanka lose their first! This one sticks in the surface as Vishmi closes the face a touch too early looking to work it onside off the back foot. The ball loops up and seemingly over Matthews, but she sticks out her left hand high into the sky and plucks this out while tumbling backwards. Superb stuff! 2/12.3 Matthews has two and both openers are gone! This was another one that held in the surface off a back of a length, and it means Chamari is way too early on the pull. The ball slowly trundles past and dislodges the bails. Sri Lanka are in quite some bother 9/25.5 Sri Lanka lose their fourth in the powerplay! And Henry gets in on the act! This was pitched fuller and Dulani takes it on, trying to clear mid-on, but it comes off the bottom of the bat. Glasgow backpeddles a couple of steps and makes no mistake 23/42.6 Matthews has a third! And the West Indies are jubilant! Just a gentle back of a length ball, on the stumps as Harshitha makes room and cuts this away. She's unable to keep this down though, and it's straight to the fielder at point, who pouches this comfortably 9/39.6 Partnership broken! Just as Sri Lanka had been clawing themselves back. This was full and driven straight back to Alleyne, who does very well to hold on to this on her follow through. Gets both hands to it and makes no mistake. This was the knuckle ball, and it mean Dilhari was early on the shot 57/515.1 easy one for Dottin at deep backward square leg! And there goes SL's highest scorer of the innings. She bowled full outside off. Silva moved way outside off to try and access the leg side with an expansive slog. But the slog sweep doesn't have the right direction, and it's taken comfortably by the outfielding on the boundary line 81/710.2 hits her in front of the pads after the batter fails to connect with the sweep across the line. Munisar returns to the XI and grabs a wicket off her second ball. But Sri Lanka will review this and why not, tbh, but this is hitting her body in front of middle stump on replay. Crashing. Out for a first-ball duck. 58/619.4 superb glovework and SL are all out for 98! Length ball on middle and the wrong'un turns in. Batter comes down the track for a big shot but all she can find is air. Campbelle takes the bails off and West Indies need 99 to make it a hat-trick of wins! 98/1017.2 high IQ work from Campbelle! Full outside off and Dasanayaka tries to drive. The ball takes an inside edge and hits her shin. She doesn't know where the ball is and the keeper quickly pounces onto the loose ball and then breaks the stumps before Dasanayaka can figure out what's happening 87/818.5 miscommunication and run-out! Full outside off. Comes down the ground and hits straight to cover. Calls for a single and the non-striker is always going to be struggling! Swift work from the keeper and Ayodhya is on the floor following a futile dive 96/9Extras4 (b 1, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL98 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 4.98)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Vishmi Gunaratne, 0.5 ov), 2-9 (Chamari Athapaththu, 2.3 ov), 3-9 (Harshitha Samarawickrama, 2.6 ov), 4-23 (Imesha Dulani, 5.5 ov), 5-57 (Kavisha Dilhari, 9.6 ov), 6-58 (Kaushini Nuthyangana, 10.2 ov), 7-81 (Nilakshika Silva, 15.1 ov), 8-87 (Sugandika Kumari, 17.2 ov), 9-96 (Mithali Ayodhya, 18.5 ov), 10-98 (Kawya Kavindi, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Direct hit gets the breakthrough! And who else but Nilakshika! This run was never on, as Matthews checked her drive and set off. It was Nilakshika though at mid-on - Sri Lanka's best fielder - and she picks it up and makes no mistake with the throw. Matthews was barely in the frame 28/15.6 Dottin's laboured innings comes to an end! This was quick and straight as Dottin looks for the flick off the front foot, but it's straight at backward square leg - put in just for that sort of shot you suspect. Sri Lanka are not out of this yet 36/28.3 full ball on leg and turning further down. Goes for the sweep, ball hits her hand, then grazes her helmet, and then lands in the keeper's gloves. Appeal for caught behind is turned down. Sri Lanka captain and bowler Chamari reviews. The ball has hit her close to the wrist-strip of the glove, which could be deemed as out if the umpire feels so. If it has hit slightly higher up on the arm then Campbelle will survive. This feels like a story of millimetres as the TV umpire asks for a closer look...but guess what, we don't even need to look that closely because the ball has actually grazed the top of the bat even before the hand came into the picture. Umpire is "satisfied" that's a catch, and WI are three down! 54/311.1 this one sticks! Length ball, fourth-stump line and Claxton is tempted to cut. Another bit of a sliced shot, and short third needs to dive forward full-stretched to take a two-handed low grab. Fantastic catch from Vishmi 69/411.2 do we have a comeback on?! Henry tries to cut a length ball from a fourth-stump line, but she ends up chopping on against the wristspinner right onto her stumps! SL are delirious and why not! 70/5Extras23 (b 8, lb 1, nb 1, w 13)TOTAL99/5 (16.1 Overs, RR: 6.12)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Hayley Matthews, 4.1 ov), 2-36 (Deandra Dottin, 5.6 ov), 3-54 (Shemaine Campbelle, 8.3 ov), 4-69 (Jahzara Claxton, 11.1 ov), 5-70 (Chinelle Henry, 11.2 ov)
