length on middle, slog swept to deep square and finds the boundary to finish things off in style. India win with more than five overs to spare
SL Women vs IND Women, 14th Match, Group A at Melbourne, T20 World Cup, Feb 29 2020 - Ball by Ball Commentary
IND Women won by 7 wickets (with 32 balls remaining)
That's all from us, folks. We'll see you tomorrow for more World Cup action with Pakistan taking on South Africa and England playing West Indies, both crucial Group B encounters.
Harmapreet Kaur: It's important to continue momentum. I think the bowlers understood the wicket very well and bowled accordingly. Today I was looking positive, got a few boundaries, hopefully I'll get more runs in the coming games. Shafali loves to play her shots and we don't hold her back.
Chamari Atapattu : I think that score was not enough, we lost couple of chances, specially Shafali, it was hard to stop her. Yeah, I got a good start but unfortunately got out in the 10th, would have wanted to stay in there till the 16th or the 17th over. I hope we can beat Bangladesh in our last game
Radha Yadav is the player of the match: I was just thinking to bowl stump-to-stump, keep it simple. As a bowling unit we did well.
India top the table. Just the performance they needed before the big semi-final. Radha Yadav led the way with her best T20I figures (4 for 23) and Shafali Verma thoroughly entertained again with a quickfire 47 that seemed to instill a lot of fear in the opposition bowlers. Harmanpreet Kaur came up the order and spent some time in the middle, finding the middle of the bat a couple of times before falling for 15. Sri Lanka's bowling was pedestrian and fielding was poor.
length on middle and off, she skips down and works it through midwicket
full on middle, pushed to long-on for one
length outside off, pushed to deep midwicket for one
full on middle, pushed to long-on
length on middle, pushed to long-on
full on middle, driven to long-on
dropped again, really sloppy from Sri Lanka and it's the captain! It was shipped straight to her at midwicket and at no level of cricket should that have gone down
length around off, opens the face and pushes it to point for a quick single, there's a direct hit at the Jemimah's end, the striker's end as she completes the run, and does so comfortably
tossed up around off, nudged towards square leg with the spin
overpitched outside off and there aren't too many better players of the cover drive than Jemimah, caresses it through the off side
length on middle, goes back and works it through midwicket for one
tossed up outside off, advances and pushes it to long-on
squares her up, this was slower and held back in length, she pushed with her hands to get an outside edge to short third
right up and angled in towards middle, not the ideal length for the sweep but hit well to beat long-on
full and angled in, goes for the sweep and misses
length on middle, walks across and tucks it away to deep backward square leg
