Follow for all HIGHLIGHTS from the Women’s U19 T20 World Cup Super Six game between India and Sri Lanka.
Perera errs her length and Tiwari rocks back and pulls it for a four. SCORES ARE LEVEL! She knocks it down for a single and completes a comfortable seven-wicket win for India. A heavy defeat against Australia is quickly pushed behind with an equally comprehensive triumph against the Lankans.
Tiwari and Sehrawat pick off Vihanga as it gets within striking distance of the target. Sehrawat tries to finish it off with a big one, but she can only edge it and Gunaratne completes a brilliant catch.
Sehrawat gets into the act and pulls and drives Perera for a couple of boundaries. India accelerating towards the target.
Perera continues and she holds down Sehrawat for a maiden. Soumya Tiwari continues to attack and gets another four from Vihanga. She then steps out and lifts Vihanga over her head for another. India has cut down the target more than by half.
Shafali gets another four, but then she is trapped LBW by Vihanga. Another early dismissal for the Indian skipper. In comes for Richa Ghosh and she finds the boundary straight away. She tries to defend one next ball, but can only edge it to the first slip. WICKET!!
Vidushika Perera comes in with her left-arm spin and Shafali attacks her straight away. Lofted shot and SIX!!! India looking to boost its NRR.
India begins its chase with Sri Shweta Sehrawat, Shafali Verma opening the innings. Lanka attacks with spin straight up. Just three runs off the first over.
Shafali with the last over of the innings. A last-ball run out caps a disappointing batting performance from Sri Lanka. 59/9 in 20 overs. India has put itself in the driving seat in this game.
Archana with her last over and she forces a big hit out of Rathnayake and Sadhu completes an easy catch in the deep. Eight down.
Archana tosses one and Rathnayake drives it past the mid-off for a four. Shafali brings herself on for the 18th. A loud appeal for an LBW aside, a quiet year.
Chopra picks another wicket with her second-last ball of her spell. It is Dissanayake who has to walk back. Four wicket haul for the leggie.
Archana gets her second over. A stumping attempt against Dissanayake, but the umpire is unmoved.
Nanayakkara tries to step down against Chopra, but can only sky it and Archana completes the catch. FIFTH WICKET DOWN FOR SRI LANKA! New batter Sewwandi tries to go for a reverse sweep and she is caught in front. LBW!! That is a double wicket maiden from Chopra.
Shafali pops the ball to Archana Devi for her first over to attack the left-handed Nanayakkara. Just three runs as India continues to tighten the screws.
Manudi Nanayakkara tries to counter Chopra with her footwork and succeeds to an extent. Nevertheless, the leggie manages a tight over. Just a single there for the Lankans to show for.
Sonam Yadav with her third over. Exceptional control from the leftie as she beats Rathnayake twice, back-to-back.
Leg spinner Parshavi Chopra replaces Kashyap. She takes a few balls to get into her rhythm and in her last ball, she claims a biggie. Gunaratne doesn’t read a googly and steps out, only to find her stumps rearranged. HUGE WICKET!!
Sonam Yadav continues to befuddle Umaya Rathnanayake, who finally manages to get off her mark in her 14th ball. Another tidy over from her.
Kashyap with her fourth and last over of the day. Gunaratne slashes one and gains two runs, thanks to a misfield. Kashyap beats Gunaratne once more before winding up a wonderful spell of controlled spin bowling.
Sonam Yadav gets her first over the game. She tosses one up and beats Umaya Rathnanayake’s outside edge. Steady start from the left-arm spinner. Just a single this over.
Kashyap too gets her third over. She loops the ball in and Vihanga misjudged it completely is caught plumb in front. ANOTHER ONE FOR KASHYAP!! And it is a wicket maiden for her.
Sadhu gets her third over as India looks for a third. Gunaratne holds one end steady and it gives Vihanga the time to settle it at the other side. She whacks a full-toss for a four to push the scoring rate.
Gunaratne late cuts Kashyap for SL’s first four of the day. Run out chance in the last ball of the over. Shafali’s throw was off and Gunaratne is back in safe.
Titas Sadhu continues on. Gunarathne drives one straight down, but mid-off flew in to stop it with a dive. Just one run from the third over as the Lankans look to prevent a collapse.
Mannat Kashyap is introduced from the other end. Gunaratne cuts her through the cover for three more runs. Kashyap flights one up and Sumudu Nisansala can only edge it to Soumya Tiwari at first slip. WICKET!!!
Titas Sadhu with the first over. She pitches one up first ball and Nethmi Senarathna drives it straight to the hands of Archana Devi. First ball, first wicket. Vishmi Gunaratne gets the first runs for Sri Lanka.
