India Women vs Sri Lanka Women, 1st T20I, Sri Lanka Women tour of India 2025 - Highlights

Deepti Sharma to Kavisha Dilhari, out Kavisha Dilhari Run Out!! 1 run completed. Swept to deep square and there was no second on offer there. Kavisha put her head down and tried to make it with a desperate dive. The throw was on the bounce and adjacent to the stumps. Well short of her crease. Kavisha Dilhari run out (Shree Charani/Richa Ghosh) 6(5)

Deepti Sharma to Kaushani Nuthyangana, FOUR, a much-needed boundary for Sri Lanka. Full and in the slot just outside off, Kaushani got down on one knee and tonked it over mid-on. Just had to clear the fielder and she did that with supreme ease

Arundhati Reddy to Nilakshi de Silva, out Nilakshi de Silva Run Out!! 1 run completed. comes down the track and forces the full delivery to the left of long-off. A better throw at the batting end would have been interesting, not to be. Nilakshi de Silva put in a full length dive and that evetually saved her? Oh hang on! This has been sent upstairs. The telly umpire wants to be sure that Nilakshi had grounded her bat. She has asked for the split screen and a zoomer to check if some part of the bat got grounded inside the crease. The bat popped up in the air for a fleeting moment, and looks like some part of the bat was grounded when the bails lit up or was it? The telly umpire feels that the bat wasn't grounded and has given it out. Nilakshi de Silva run out (Amanjot Kaur/Richa Ghosh) 8(8)

Shree Charani to Vishmi Gunaratne, out Vishmi Gunaratne Run Out!! No fumble this time around. Vishmi slices the full toss straight to Kranti at backward point. Thinks of a quick single and takes a few steps down the pitch. Kranti, though, kept her cool and fired in an accurate throw adjacent to the stumps. Richa completes the formalities. Vishmi Gunaratne run out (Kranti Gaud/Richa Ghosh) 39(43) [4s-1 6s-1]

Shree Charani to Vishmi Gunaratne, SIX, palms it away over the fence! Vishmi advances and lofts it off the cue end down the ground. Smriti, positioned at long-off, runs back and parries it away over the ropes. Got both hands, and the fact that she was standing close to the ropes had something to do with the nervy juggle at the last moment...

Shree Charani to Harshitha Madavi, out Bowled!! Shree Charani can afford to smile now. She looks very relieved. Quicker and drifts in with the angle, Harshitha looked to play the reverse sweep but was defeated by the extra pace. Got into a bit of a tangle and played all around it. The ball straightens at the last moment to hit the top of middle and leg stump. Harshitha Madavi b Shree Charani 21(23) [4s-2]

Arundhati Reddy to Harshitha Madavi, 1 run, 10/10 for the effort, but it will still count as a dropped chance. Short and wide of off, Harshitha was all hands on the cut and sliced it to the left of backward point. Jemimah put in a full length dive, got both hands and couldn't hold on at the last moment...

Arundhati Reddy to Harshitha Madavi, 2 runs, second drop of the night from Shree Charani. Is she feeling the nerves of playing in front of home crowd? The head coach looks baffled, and so does the Indian skipper. Full delivery on leg stump, Harshitha got a thick top-edge on the sweep and went miles in the air square on the leg-side. Charani ran forward from deep square, got both hands and fumbled. She went for the regulation fingers pointing skywards, but just sticky hands? or nerves?

Deepti Sharma to Harshitha Madavi, no run, Harshitha looked really confident when she took the review. Perhaps she was certain there was bat involved. Tried to play the reverse sweep and almost missed it. That tiny inside edge and maybe some glove before she got trapped in front of off stump. A successful review for Sri Lanka.

Shree Charani to Vishmi Gunaratne, FOUR, that was full and dipping on off stump, Vishmi was quick to get down and slam the sweep in the gap to the right of deep mid-wicket

Amanjot Kaur to Harshitha Madavi, FOUR, oh dear! Dew playing its part already. Gonna be a challenging night for the fielders. Amanjot Kaur went round the wicket and angled it short on off stump, Harshitha pulls and manages to beat the diving fielder at fine leg to her right

Amanjot Kaur to Vishmi Gunaratne, 1 run, full on the stumps, Vishmi flicks it to the right of Jemimah at deep mid-wicket

Deepti Sharma to Harshitha Madavi, FOUR, the length was a bit too full, Harshitha got down quickly and swept it square on the leg-side. Vaishnavi tried her best to get around, but ball won the race...

Deepti Sharma to Hasini Perera, out Caught by Kranti Gaud!! No dropping this time around. Hasini Perera looks to play the reverse sweep, but the ball arrived much quicker than anticipated. She skews it off the thick inside half and offers catching practice to Kranti Gaud at short third. Hasini Perera c Kranti Gaud b Deepti Sharma 20(23) [4s-2]

Vaishnavi Sharma to Hasini Perera, 1 run, oops! Shree Charani couldn't hang on. A thick top-edge on the sweep and the fielder at short fine got into a bit of a tangle circling under the ball. In the end, the ball drops just wide of her palms and might have got fingertips on that in the process...

Vaishnavi Sharma to Vishmi Gunaratne, 2 runs, slower and fuller outside off, Gunaratne drills it down the ground to the right of long-off. Deepti puts in a diving effort, and tosses the ball to the incoming long-on fielder. A shy at the stumps at the bowling end and misses. Had that hit, Hasini Perera was a goner!

Shree Charani to Hasini Perera, FOUR, that was a premeditated shot, but one that brings a boundary to Sri Lanka. Quicker and fuller outside off, Hasini gets a big stride forward and plays the reverse sweep to the right of the diving fielder at short third

Kranti Gaud to Hasini Perera, FOUR, superbly timed and the outfield looks lightning quick. 112ks angled in towards middle and leg, Hasini uses the angle to clip it fine and beats the fielder in the deep to her left

Kranti Gaud to Chamari Athapaththu, out Bowled!! She has knocked over the South African skipper - Wolvaardt - during the World Cup at this venue. And now, Kranti Gaud adds Chamari Athapaththu to her wickets column. Goes wide of the crease and bowls the nip-backer from round the wicket, it shapes in appreciably and beats Chamari on the inside edge. No feet from Chamari and she got stuck to the crease, with an all hands approach at the last second. Chamari Athapaththu b Kranti Gaud 15(12) [4s-3]

Kranti Gaud to Chamari Athapaththu, FOUR, nothing lazy about this shot. 108ks short and sat up nicely outside off, Chamari flays it through backward point and beats the fielder in the deep to her left. Too good was the timing...

Kranti Gaud to Chamari Athapaththu, FOUR, Chamari was ready for the short ball. 111ks outside off, the Sri Lankan skipper swivels and gets enough bat on the pull to get it over Smriti at mid-wicket

Kranti Gaud to Chamari Athapaththu, FOUR, a freebie for the Sri Lankan skipper. 116ks full on the pads, Athapaththu says thank you and helps it away to the fine leg fence with a tickle
