END OF OVER:
20 | 10 Runs 1 Wkt | SL-W: 122/6 | RR: 6.10

Sandhu grabbed 3 for 17 for Pakistan, who will be quietly confident of chasing down 123 and making to yet another Asia Cup final. Join Suds, as he brings the run chase to you soon.

Clifford: "Non-striker should have appealed with umpire for the wide. That could cost SL the match."

Top-scorer Samarawickrama: "The pitch was easy to bat... We can do it [defend 122]. Our bowlers have done well throughout the tournament."

2.51pm Sri Lanka barely looked like reaching 120, and eventually they just managed to cross that. They picked up 35 off the final five overs when they looked like taking more risks, losing four wickets as a result. And although Samarawickrama and Nilakshi de Silva added 50 for the third wicket, the lack of boundaries made all the difference.

Aiman Anwer to Ranasinghe, OUT, stumped, and Muneeba walks off in a hurry! Or did she do that to give the impression that the ball was never a wide? It was shortish and wide of off, as Oshadhi made room and went slashing but missed. In the end, the ball was too wide for her reach as she missed and lost balance. Muneeba clipped the bails, and as a result, Pakistan got a dot, although that should ideally have been called wide

Sadia Iqbal to Perera, OUT, bowled her! Hasini falls after trying to dance around the stumps. She first made room, before eventually getting across to slog sweep by exposing her stumps. The shortish ball crashed into leg stump as she missed, and her cameo comes to an end

Sadia Iqbal to Ranasinghe, 2 runs, that is great running! But Pakistan appeal for a run-out at the bowler's end, as it goes upstairs. Ah, Hasini dived and was well in. Short in length again from Iqbal, and slammed to deep midwicket

Semdev: "No boundary since 10th over - SL being too cautious" --- They have been trying, but the execution hasn't come. They haven't found the gaps.

Nashra Sandhu to Madavi, OUT, the keeper is excited, as Sandhu gets her third! Samarawickrama went to have a slash at that short ball a bit wide of off, but there was no foot movement to get to that. She only went reaching out, as her attempted slash resulted for a catch to Muneeba

Nida Dar to Madavi, no run, this skids on, and goes on with the arm from around the wicket. On a shortish length on middle, and angling to cramp her for room. She got her front leg out of the way, but only managed to get a bottom edge as she tried to poke at that
