00:46Yes we will bat first. Straight over the bowler's head. That is some confidence.
00:54May not have got exactly the power she was looking for or the two of them but
00:58in vain. It's a boundary to begin with.
01:03A real teaser. Perfect placement. Just about got it over the bowler's head and just
01:09about had the leg as well. It does go a little bit downhill here from the square.
01:13Kept both fielders interested. They couldn't decide whose it was. It was the left hand of
01:18Chimari and the right hand of Sama Vikrama. In the end she's pulled it over the boundary
01:22with her. Just two fulls from Pabadani and it's four from the first delivery.
01:29Cleaned up. That's the answer.
01:34That's the sign of a good bowler. Goes for a boundary first full and look at this.
01:39Right up. Just comes across that one. Didn't stick with her technique that we saw on the
01:43first delivery. Came across it looking to heave it leg side and she's headed back.
01:48She may as well practice that shot all the way back to the tent because she's on her way.
01:56Oh that's a beauty. That's a beauty.
02:00Fix it up. Or rather flex it up in the end. Oh what a catch.
02:05She's absolutely fantastic in the field. She's exactly the player you want under the ball when
02:15there's a chance like this because it's with the wind. It has died down the wind but this
02:18one has just helped it carry a little bit through the shot too early. She's judged it with perfection.
02:25That's the perfect footwork. Gets the hand in position early. Grabs on two and two.
02:32Uses the feet only to find the fielder. What is happening here? Three down.
02:40That's what she's known for. Comes wide at the crease. This one swings away.
02:44Tries to play it straight but takes the outside edge. One of the easiest catches
02:48going around. You only see many players in this tournament dropping that.
02:52Sugandika Kumari didn't. Nishmatanjan, the debutant, goes for a duck.
02:57Take outside the circle in the first six overs. She's taken them on the onside so you've got
03:02huge gaps on the offside. One such gap has been bisected before.
03:11What a stunner. The highest standards of fielding on display by the hosts in Damboda.
03:19But that one was top-notch. Right there on the top of the shelf. Just the instinct
03:26reflects it at its best. It was slammed hard. You would want to watch that replay again and again.
03:34Another one down for Bangladesh. They are in deep trouble on 17.
03:42Prabodhani of her own bowling.
03:43Oligarch Sultana has to do something about this and she's deciding to counter-attack.
03:48Those were certainly dreams being made.
03:51Clean up completely. The big shot was coming. Pressure was building up.
03:55Just wasn't quite the right length. Look at that. Turns in as well. She can get a little bit of turn
04:00as you saw on show there. Has a handy knack of coming on and taking a wicket. Bangladesh
04:05lose yet another one. Sharifa Khatun 5 from 13 for her. Bangladesh 48 for Prabodhani.
04:12Talking about the cover drive. Instantly Mithali came to picture here. Finally again the ball's
04:16going out and that will be a rough century for the team. 53 for 5 it stands at the moment with that boundary.
04:27A quick one. Love the feel. A pass is wicked. She just changes up her pace. Look how wide she's
04:32coming from. So this meant that they had to have a real big think about it. Bangladesh
04:39things just go from bad to worse. They lose their six.
04:49Now Shorna Akhtar has the shots and there's evidence of it.
04:54Oh there is some space. There's lots of it. This is very good from Shorna.
05:02That is into the gap as well. That is clubbed away.
05:05She is wielding a hammer at the moment is Shorna Akhtar.
05:11Clubbed. Cries for catch it. Don't drop Shorna. She doesn't.
05:16They continue to set the highest of standards in the field Sri Lanka.
05:22Perhaps a moment of disbelief for Nilakshika Silva.
05:36We want to have another look at that. The ball in some control when stumps are disturbed.
05:46And it looks like umpires deem stumps were broken fairly.
05:53It's just more misery for Bangladesh and Nudeshika Prabodhani will finish things off.
06:00Up and over. This is a good shot from the captain of Bangladesh.
06:07Straight down the ground and even the excellent fielding of Sri Lanka can't stop that.
06:19It's only a single. Manikar Sultana Jyoti will be left on 48. Bangladesh
06:28after winning the toss and batting first have managed 111 parade. It's a runches of 112 to win
06:34for Sri Lanka to take that first foot right here. That is what the runches is going to be.
06:45I don't know a day that we've seen anything literally capable of being caught.
06:50I was in the air for a little while.
06:52Oh, this is smart footwork. Good technique as well. But I didn't quite reach her.
07:02Just fell short. The youngster using her boot to good effect.
07:14Sends it right over the head of the fielder in the deep. They picked the right spot but they
07:18haven't got the boundary ropes back far enough. She thought about it for a second. She was worried
07:24the wind, even though it's died down, it's still going that direction.
07:27Might have just helped out the Sri Lanka captain to get the first maximum of the innings.
07:35That is just quality. Absolute quality from Vishwigunarathne. One bounce four.
07:41That's gone through. They cannot afford that, Bangladesh, not with 112 to defend.
07:49Vishmi goes for a walk and Vishmi gets four.
07:54Very much Sri Lanka on top. A couple of steps down the pitch and the left, the right hand
08:01comes through just at the last second to send it wide of the fielder at Longan.
08:04That bottom hand serves her so well in terms of power and in terms of placement.
08:09Not looked the best, that's for sure.
08:13Apesh, fielder, wicked, yes it is. The wicked they wanted. Jamaliya Tapadu back to the hut.
08:25Naidakhtar, it is, had huge responsibility on her shoulder.
08:30Naidakhtar, it is, had huge responsibility on her shoulder.
08:35She was quite miserly bowling. Expression says everything.
08:41They've scored 14 more runs. Lost just one wicked diving effort there. The balls just tickle down.
08:47Will it raise down the fence for four? Yes, it does.
08:50That boundary will ease the pressure and brings about the ecstasy in the stands.
08:55This time uses the bottom hand as a fielder only to pick it and send it back. Four more among the
09:01drumbeats.
09:07Ah, challenge. Straight like an arrow into the side screen. That's a boundary. That's the release
09:13of pressure.
09:16Talk about it. Here we have one more time. And this will get four this time.
09:22Importance of fielding, athleticism, lifting the morale of the side in the field. Oh, that's a
09:32question. Look at it. I think no, no damage has been done so far.
09:38That is Vishmi Gunaratne dismissing the ball out of Dambulla.
09:46She eventually has got that through.
09:51That will be 50 for Vishmi Gunaratne. 2024 is her year.
10:00It's her third 50 in T20I's, all in 2024. And it'll delight her that it's the first time she's got one at home.
10:07It's one game. Bolt. Well, Vishmi Gunaratne's time in the middle comes to an end.
10:11Just fell in the last few minutes. She's too eager to find the big shot, but otherwise it's been a high quality in Dambulla.
10:13That's innovative and highly effective.
10:19That will be 50 for Vishmi Gunaratne. 2024 is her year. It'll delight her that it's the first time she's got one at home.
10:24It's one game. Bolt. Well, Vishmi Gunaratne's time in the middle comes to an end.
10:31Just fell in the last few minutes. She's too eager to find the big shot, but otherwise it's been a high quality innings that Nahida has now brought to an end.
10:33That's innovative and highly effective. No one back there.
10:47Big shot. Good shot. They'll get four. Look at the smiles and the ecstasy there.
10:56Ball powerfully up in the air. That should have been taken.
11:00One thing is for sure, Mithali Shrilakam wants to finish this early. Too good for any team in this tournament.
11:08She's been attacking the stumps. In fact, regularly, despite getting hit for boundary, she's never left that line, I think that's very good on Nahida and she was duly paid through three wickets that she got so far into a fourth over.
11:30They'll finish their league stage and that will be victory.
11:36Sri Lanka, the home team, the home nation have started this tournament with a bang.
11:40They've had this amazing win with 2.9 over to Spain and they've beaten Bangladesh by seven wickets. Well done, Sri Lanka. Well begun.
