Thanks for joining me, Vairavan and Sudeep for this game. Do join us for the final tomorrow and good night from all of us here

A few Pakistan players are in tears as Sri Lanka Women won by 6 wickets and qualify for the final. While run scoring was difficult, Pakistan Women scored 75 which was under-par. They should've got something close to 110 for them to have a fair chance at the batting line-up of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka Women scored 33 runs in the powerplay and got a headstart (Pakistan Women scored 18 in their powerplay) It was the bowling acumen that was the difference between the teams.

1
Nashra Sandhu to Nilakshika, 1 run

pushes it to the off side and sets off for a single. It does seem like the Pakistan fielders are standing deep in the their positions as they seem to be getting to the ball a fraction late. A direct hit here would've caused a run out. This is touch and go here as it all boils down to one frame as the keeper whips the bails off. The benefit of doubt is accorded to the batter as the keeper's helmet seemed to be blocking the view from one end and it was inconclusive from the opposite end

1
Sadia Iqbal to Nilakshika, 1 run

plays it with soft hands to cover. They run across for a single. Every single is deflating Pakistan's morale. Will Sri Lanka batters exploit the dropping shoulders and get themselves a boundary?

Ranil Herath: "Just like in men's game in Asian Cup Sri Lanka will pip Pakistan to face India at the final." A wicket or two can still change things

13.3
Sadia Iqbal to Harshitha, no run

outside the off stump. She looks to sweep and misses. Hits the grille of the helmet. There's a concussion check on her
