Malsha Shehani to Smriti, out Caught by Imesha Dulani!! Both openers gone in successive overs. Sri Lanka fighting back. Flighted delivery, Shehani keeps the line outside off, Smriti shuffles across and has to fetch the sweep, gets a top-edge over backward square leg and Maisha takes a few steps back, keeps her eyes on the ball and clings on. That was a good catch. The set batters are gone and Sri Lanka have a chance to finish strongly. Smriti c Imesha Dulani b Malsha Shehani 80(48) [4s-11 6s-3]
