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)
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 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]
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]
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]
