Right then, the six-time T20 World Champions, Australia Women have begun their campaign with a win and it's back-to-back defeats for Sri Lanka Women which makes it all that difficult for them to get out of the group stage. Anyways, it is a doubleheader day and next up is a clash between Bangladesh Women and England Women at the very same ground. You can simply switch tabs and check our coverage of that game.

Alyssa Healy, the captain of Australia Women says she's happy with the win. Mentions they'll take some confidence going ahead. Adds it was hard sitting and waiting but watching has helped them get an idea about the conditions. States they are so blessed with depth in the batting lineup and hence, anybody can be slotted anywhere.

Chamari Athapaththu, the captain of Sri Lanka Women says they have been playing well in recent times but are struggling here. Mentions they need to adapt to the conditions and play good cricket. States the batting unit depends a lot on the top order and they need to start scoring runs. Hopes the conditions are better in Dubai.

Megan Schutt, PLAYER OF THE GAME, says there was some assistance from the wicket and she enjoyed it. Adds she would have liked it to be more cleaner and there's a lot to improve. Mentions it's a good wicket, did get slower later on and also it is tough to play in this heat but she's happy they survived this one. Ends by saying she's happy to play the way she did.

Sri Lanka Women can be happy with their bowling effort. They made the Aussies work hard for their runs for most parts of the innings. However, they’ll be disappointed with their overall fielding and their batting majorly. They dropped a few catches, that probably would not have made a difference to the game but one never knows. However, the batting is what has let them down in the tournament so far and that’s one area they really need to improve and quickly. Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony...

A thumping win to begin their campaign for the Aussies. To be honest, 94 was never going to be enough. They did lose a few wickets at the start but Ash Gardner and Beth Mooney put up a good stand to take them closer to the target. Gardner fell but Phoebe Litchfield along with Mooney who was the top scorer, ensured they took their side over the line.

12.1

Inoka Ranaweera To Ash Gardner OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! A bit unnecessary that from Ash Gardner and she pays the price. The veteran left-arm spinner, Inoka Ranaweera comes back in and drifts this one into the leg stump. Gardner comes down the track, looking to loft it across the line and against the spin. It gets skewed up high in front of point where Harshitha Samarawickrama races forward and dives in to take the catch.

A slight halt in proceedings as Beth Mooney seems to be struggling with the heat. The physio is out with the ice pack which is being applied to the head and the players are taking in some fluids as well to rehydrate themselves.
