We are back for the chase. The players of Sri Lanka Women are out in the middle. Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana are the openers for India. Achini Kulasuriya to start with the ball.
...THE RUN CHASE...
Right then! Not a big score to chase and India Women will hope to seal the series here only. We saw in the first ODI that Sri Lanka Women bowlers made it hard for India to chase an under-par total and a similar performance will be expected by Chamari Atapattu. Stay tuned as we will be back with the chase in a bit.
India Women bowlers have yet again shown their class as they have notched up another excellent performance. They will be slightly disappointed as well because there were a couple of run out chances and stumping chances that went here and there that could have made a difference to the scoreboard. Renuka Singh was the start of the show as she dictated terms from the start and with discipline bowling, she ended with four wickets and was economical as well. The spinners controlled the middle phase and kept it tight throughout as well. This all-round performance has helped India end the first phase on the front foot.
Sri Lanka Women will be pretty disappointed with the score. A good start was required and the openers failed miserably. They were three down inside 10 overs and needed someone to repair things. Chamari Atapattu and Anushka Sanjeewani joined hands but after getting to a start, both fell. Nilakshi de Silva too failed after building a good partnership and that seemed to be a problem for them. The batters got a start but failed to stay out there and chip in runs. It was Ama Kanchana's crucial innings at the backend that helped Sri Lanka get past the 150-score.
So, Sri Lanka Women have not learned their lessons as they have ended up with a similar score as the first ODI and yet again they will look up to the bowlers to make it a competitive game.
