IND-W VS Sl-W 3rd T20I
5.1: Malki Madara to Shafali Verma, Wide!
4.6: Nimasha Meepage to Shafali Verma, Flighted and outside off, Shafali drives it through covers for a run. Retains strike. 19 from the over, India are cruising! 67 needed off 90 balls.
4.5: Nimasha Meepage to Shafali Verma, FOUR! 18 off this over already! Quicker and fuller, around off, Verma kneels a bit and thwacks it over extra cover for a boundary.
4.4: Nimasha Meepage to Shafali Verma, SIX! Terrific strike.Loopy again from Nimasha Meepage, around off, Shafali Verma wears her skates, takes it on the full and pummels it over long off for a maximum. 
4.3: Nimasha Meepage to Shafali Verma, Flighted and full, around off, stroked to extra cover.
4.2: Nimasha Meepage to Shafali Verma, FOUR! Boom! The bowler feels the pressure and drops it short as a response. It’s on middle, Shafali Verma rocks back and pulls it with authority to deep mid-wicket.
4.1: Nimasha Meepage to Shafali Verma, FOUR! Almost a catch there by Kavisha Dilhari. Flatter and full, around off, Shafali smacks it through the air but doesn’t keep it down. Kavisha dives across to her left at extra cover, misjudges perhaps a bit as it sneaks past to find the fence. 
3.6: Kavisha Dilhari to Jemimah Rodrigues, Flighted and outside off, driven to covers.
3.5: Kavisha Dilhari to Jemimah Rodrigues, Shortish and wide outside off, Jemimah tries to cut but misses.
DRS time.
3.4: Kavisha Dilhari to Jemimah Rodrigues, Appeal for an lbw! Quicker and fuller around leg, Jemimah Rodrigues looks to whip it across the line but seems to miss. Thudded on the pads and the fielding side is convinced, but the umpire is unmoved. Chamari Athapaththu fancies a gamble and signals for the review. Replays come in, nothing conclusive, bat or pad remains a mystery. The message is relayed, the on-field call stands, and Jemimah survives. Fair call? 
3.3: Kavisha Dilhari to Jemimah Rodrigues, Tossed up around off, defended off the front foot to the off side.
3.2: Kavisha Dilhari to Smriti Mandhana, OUT! Given lbw! Fired in flatter, landing on middle and skidding through, Smriti Mandhana drops to sweep but misses everything. She is struck on the front pad and the appeal is instant, finger straight up. A brief chat, the DRS is taken, Ultra Edge finds no bat and Ball Tracking lights up three reds. A forgettable outing for Mandhana as India Women lose their first wicket, and Kavisha Dilhari once again hunts down the star Indian batter in consecutive games. Jemimah Rodrigues has walked in next as India Women are 27/1.
3.2: Kavisha Dilhari to Smriti Mandhana, Wide! Down the leg side, Smriti Mandhana tries to sweep but misses.
3.1: Kavisha Dilhari to Smriti Mandhana, Flatter and outside off, Smriti plays a mistimed shot to the off side.
2.6: Nimasha Meepage to Shafali Verma, FOUR! A drag down from the bowler and she pays the price. India Women race to 26 in no time. Short and on middle, Shafali turns and hammer-pulls it to the deep square leg fence.
2.5: Nimasha Meepage to Shafali Verma, Confusion but no run is taken. Drifting down the leg side, Verma tries to flick but misses. It goes off her pads to square leg and Smriti Mandhana looks interested in a run. Shafali Verma responds but then Smriti sends her back.
2.4: Nimasha Meepage to Shafali Verma, Fullish and around off, driven to extra cover.
2.3: Nimasha Meepage to Shafali Verma, FOUR! Top shot, that’s her strength. Loopy and full, dipping in around middle, Shafali Verma gives the charge again and this time lofts it behind the bowler for a cracking boundary.
