Perera throws it down the middle for four after taking it on the full toss by skipping down the track. More of such are needed in Sri Lanka. In 12 overs, they are 72/5; they need 79 runs off 48 balls to win.

Dilhari tries to go over the top, only ends up spooning the ball to mid-on. Easiest of catches for Renuka to take and Sri Lanka crumbling now.Dilhari c Renuka Singh b Vastrakar 1 (8), Sri Lanka 61/5 in 10.5 overs

Now Sri Lanka would have to put in a heroic effort to win. Simply said, there have been too many wickets lost and not enough run scorers. At this point in their innings, India was only a few runs ahead of them, but they still had eight wickets in hand.

De Silva beaten by the pace and that is the first wicket for a pacer in this tournament. De Silva plumb in front and has to go. de Silva lbw b Vastrakar 3 (5), Sri Lanka 56/4 in 8.3 overs.

This is not good news for Sri Lanka. Harmanpreet was playing second fiddle for Jemimah so far, it will India all the way if she succesfully switches gears and they fire from both ends. 

Sri Lanka have won the toss and chosen to field. Athar Ali Khan had said earlier that spinners will reap rewards on this pitch but as the noon progresses, batters will have the advantage
