SHAFALI VERMA, OUT!

Back for the chase
The usual opening combination of Shafali Verma and Shweta Sehrawat out in the middle for India. How quickly can they get this? Dewmi Vihanga with the ball for Sri Lanka.

END OF INNINGS!
End of a dismal batting performance from Sri Lanka. The innings ends with a run out at the non-strikers end, but the Lankans did manage to play out their quota of 20 overs.
No one apart from Vishmi Gunarathne got going for Lankans, but once Parshavi Chopra got into the act by scalping her there was barely any fight.
SL: 59/9 (20)

ARCHANA DEVI STRIKES!
She was one of the only two bowlers yet to get a wicket and she has one now. Rathnayake steps down in search for a big shot, hits it straight to deep midwicket.
SL: 52/8 (18.4)

Richa unhappy with Shafali
A huge appeal for caught behind by wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh, but bowler Shafali Verma is not interested.
"Shefu appeal to kar le (Shafali, atleast appeal)," says an angry Ghosh, who is convinced there was an edge.
SL: 51/7 (18)
