Eden Carson to Harshitha Madavi, OUT! CAUGHT! Eden Carson strikes and draws first blood! Full and on off. Harshitha Madavi gets down and slogs it straight into the hands of Georgia Plimmer at deep mid-wicket. She timed it well but did not have enough elevation or distance to clear the fielder in the deep. Eden Carson is once again amongst the wickets.

Amelia Kerr to Chamari Athapaththu, OUT! Plumb in front! Floated delivery, landing full around off and turning into the left-hander, Chamari stays back to work it on the leg side but misses. She is thudded on the front pad, they appeal but nothing from the umpire. New Zealand Women decide to take the review. Nothing on the UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows THREE REDS. A body blow to Sri Lanka Women as their talisman heads back to the hut. 130 needed off 75 balls.

Lea Tahuhu to Anushka Sanjeewani, OUT! DRAGS IT ON! Another one bites the dust and Sri Lanka Women have lost half their side. Full and around off, shaping away a bit, Anushka Sanjeewani tries to drive away from her body but gets an inside edge. It deflects on her boot and ricochets behind to disturb the stumps. Sri Lanka Women are going down like a pack of cards.

Lea Tahuhu to Kavisha Dilhari, OUT! CAUGHT! Lea Tahuhu picks up her second. Slightly fuller in length and stops after pitching. Kavisha Dilhari pushes at it but the ball shoots up to grab the upper half of her bat. The ball balloons gently to Amelia Kerr at covers who takes it with ease. Sri Lanka Women slide further into trouble as Kavisha Dilhari walks back.

Lea Tahuhu to Sugandika Kumari, OUT! RUN OUT! Back of a length, around middle, Sugandika Kumari stays back to work it around but misses. It goes off the thigh pad to the keeper and the non-striker wants a run. There is a complete breakdown in communication and eventually, Sugandika Kumari decides to respond to the call. The keeper underarms her throw to the bowler. Lea Tahuhu settles near the stumps to collect the ball but finds it to be going onto the stumps. It's a direct hit and Sugandika Kumari departs.
