SL-W vs PAK-W Live Cricket Score

2 OUT! CAUGHT! Sri Lanka land the first blow. Muneeba Ali falls cheaply. Sugandika stays around the wicket for the left-hander and bowls it on a length, across off. Ali gets low and extends her hands to slam it over mid off but fails to get any sort of elevation. Mishits it flat towards Nilakshika Silva there, who takes the catch around her midriff. 5/1

4.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Chamari Athapaththu answers right back and she is pumped up, letting out a big roar. Zulfiqar's promising stay has been cut short. Not the best of balls, though by Chamari. This is pushed through, on the shorter side, down leg. Shawaal hops inside the line for the glance but gets a tickle on it. The keeper, Kaushini Nuthyangana, moves to her left and even though there is a healthy deflection, she is equal to the task. 29/2

16 OUT! CAUGHT! A stunning catch from Chamari Athapaththu, and Sri Lanka have their breakthrough! Flighted and full around off, Gull Feroza charges down the track looking to go straight, but fails to find the middle. It balloons towards long off and the ball looks set to drop short, only for Chamari to charge in and dive forward to complete a superb catch. The 40-run stand is broken, but Fatima Sana remains out there and is still the major threat. 92/5

6.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Another fine grab by the keeper as Kaushini and Chamari combine once again. Athapaththu pulls her length back, and this is bowled quicker through the air. Zafar hops back and gives herself room for the cut. The ball is not all that short for the cut, and it skids through to graze the underedge of the blade. Kaushini Nuthyangana gets her gloves in the correct position and holds onto the catch. 37/3

9.5 OUT! STUMPED! A left-arm spinner's delight. Impressive stuff by the 17-year-old. Floated up by Chamudi from around the wicket, just outside off. Shamas gives the bowler the premeditated charge but is undone by the flight. She can't reach the pitch of the ball to smother the spin. It lands and spins past the blade, and Sadaf is at a point of no return. The keeper, Kaushini Nuthyangana, lets the ball come to her and keeps the gloves behind the line of the stumps. She gathers it neatly and breaks the stumps to catch the batter well short of the crease. 52/4

1.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Fatima Sana wins the battle of captains! A big wicket for Pakistan as the dangerous Chamari Athapaththu departs cheaply. It is not the ideal delivery, full and on the pads, but Chamari goes after it and fails to keep the whip down. The ball balloons towards deep square leg, where Sadaf Shamas gets low and holds on safely. Chamari walks back as a disappointed batter, and Sri Lanka now need 126 from 112 balls. 5/1

6.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust, and the set Imesha Dulani is gone! Umm-e-Hani picks up her first wicket with a flighted delivery that lands full on middle. Dulani goes for the slog-sweep but is through the shot too early, sending a top edge straight up into the air. Muneeba Ali barely has to move from behind the stumps before completing the catch. Sri Lanka are now four down and in serious trouble. 33/4

1.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Fatima Sana is tearing through Sri Lanka! The Pakistan captain is showing no signs of fatigue, and this is now two wickets in two balls. The delivery is back of a length around middle and holds up on Sanjana Kavindi. She checks the shot from the back foot, sending a miscued pop-up towards mid-wicket, where Shawaal Zulfiqar settles underneath it and takes a safe catch. An inspired Sana is on a hat-trick! 5/2

5.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Sadia Iqbal tosses it up generously, landing full around off, and Hasini Perera is too early into the slog. The bottom hand comes off the bat, resulting in a miscued hit towards mid off. Ayesha Zafar charges in from inside the circle after moving across to her left initially and completes the catch. The promising partnership is cut short, with Sri Lanka needing 100 from 86 balls. 31/3

16.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Who else but Fatima Sana to provide a timely breakthrough? Pakistan needed that. Bowled on a good length from around the wicket, outside off. Samarawickrama walks across the stumps and tries to use the pace and scoop it over short fine leg. Ends up spooning it towards short fine leg, where Shawaal Zulfiqar reacts well as she moves forward and dives to take the catch inches off the turf. End of a 67-run stand. Sri Lanka Women are 100/5, needing 31 runs off 23 balls. 100/5

17 OUT! LBW! Pakistan go up in unison, and the finger is raised. Kavisha Dilhari does not seem happy with the decision, and the replays later show why. Angled in at the sticks, on a length. Kavisha walks across her stumps and gets low for the scoop but misses. She gets pinged on the pads but the ball deflects off the glove. No DRS in this tournament and Dilhari will have to accept the verdict. Both set batters back in the hut. Talk about leading from the front, and Fatima Sana is the epitome of it tonight, first with the bat and now with the ball to keep Pakistan in the contest. 109/6
