Sri Lanka Women vs Australia Women LIVE Updates: Six-time champions begin their Women's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with a match against Asia Cup winners Sri Lanka. For Australia, seasoned opener Beth Mooney will be a crucial cog. She is top of the ICC's T20 batter rankings going into the World Cup and the six-time champions will be relying on her once again at the top of the order. A key member of the sides that won the last three editions of the T20 World Cup, Mooney was named 'Player of the Series' in 2020 after nailing an unbeaten 78 in the final as the Aussies saw off India. Having clattered 50 from 30 balls in the warm-up win over England in Dubai, there is every reason to think the 30-year-old is primed to add to her two T20I hundreds. (LIVE SCORECARD)
Australia vs SL, Women's T20 WC Live Score
1 run.
Floated up on the stumps, this is pushed down to long on for a single.
Beautifully bowled! Tossed up, wide of the off stump, this one dips and turns away as well. Nilakshika Silva puts her bat across to block but is beaten past the outside edge. There is half an appeal for a catch but the noise probably was the bat hitting the ground. No review taken.
Two more! Short of a length, Nilakshika Silva goes deep in her crease and pulls it away through mid-wicket for a couple of runs.
Flighted up, on a good length and outside off, Nilakshika Silva waits back to cut but is beaten past the outside edge.
Well struck but equally well-fielded by Ellyse Perry in the deep. Tossed up on off, Nilakshika Silva swats it away in front of deep mid-wicket but Perry races across and puts in the dive to save a couple of runs.
Lobbed up, very full around off, this one dips right on the crease, Nilakshika Silva winds up for the big shot but gets an inside edge onto the boot.
Hasini Perera is the next batter in.
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! An easy return chance for Sophie Molineux and she makes no error. This is bowled from over the stumps, full and wide of the off stump. Harshitha Madhavi has been trying to break the shackles and reaches out to smack this one away but ends up flat-batting it off the toe end of the bat and to the right of the bowler. Molineux reaches across and grabs it with both hands to break the brewing stand.
Flatter one, a full toss in fact on the stumps, Nilakshika Silva gets across a bit and punches it sweetly down to long on for one more.
