Bangladesh Women vs Sri Lanka Women Ball by Ball Commentary - ICC Women's World Cup Warm-up Matches 2025

49.6OUT! TAKEN! GONE! DONE AND DUSTED! Bangladesh Women have done it as they have clinched the victory out of the jaws of Sri Lanka Women. On a fuller length and outside off, Sugandika Kumari comes forward and just chips it with soft hands towards cover. She fails to keep it along the ground and just finds the fielder there. Shorna Akter moves to her left a bit and takes it easily. There is jubilation in the camp of the Bangladesh Women as they have closed out this game. Bangladesh Women have defeated Sri Lanka Women by just 1 run.

49.5On a hard length and around middle, Sugandika Kumari swivels and pulls it over backward square leg for a couple of runs. They now need two runs in the final ball.

49.4On a length and outside off, Dewmi Vihanga lofts it but in the gap towards long off for a single. Sri Lanka Women need 4 runs in the last 2 balls.

49.3OUT! IMESHA DULANI IS RUN OUT! Proper harakiri is going on, and the nerves are clearly visible. On a length and outside off, Imesha Dulani shuffles and tries to ramp it. But she only manages to get a toe end of the bat, and the ball goes towards short fine. Dewmi Vihanga runs for a single as she wants to be on strike, but Imesha Dulani is caught ball watching. The fielder, Shanjida Akther Maghla, shows great composure to see where the batter is short at which end and fires a throw to the bowling end. Dewmi Vihanga reaches the other end when Imesha Dulani starts to run, but Marufa Akter does a good backup as she gets back to the stumps and collects the throw before whipping the bails off. Imesha Dulani wasn't even in the frame, and she walked off. Sri Lanka Women need 4 runs in the last 3 balls.

49.2On a length and outside off, Dewmi Vihanga drags it to the right of long on for a single.

49.1FOUR! PURE POWER! On a back of a length and around off, Dewmi Vihanga presses back, gets on top of the bounce and lofts it over the mid off fielder for a boundary. The equation is 6 runs in the last 5 balls now.

48.6Flatter, full and around off, Imesha Dulani uses her feet but only manages to drill it back to the bowler. An excellent over from Nahida Akter and Sri Lanka Women now need 10 runs in the final over.

48.5Slower and fuller, outside off, Imesha Dulani waits back and guides it to the left of short third for a couple of runs.

48.4Full and outside off, Imesha Dulani squeezes it towards cover point and denies the single.

48.3Nagging length and outside off, Imesha Dulani dabs it down but finds the backward point fielder.

48.2OUT! TAKEN! Is this the game? Slower and fuller, outside off, Nilakshika Silva gets across and goes on one knee to sweep it, but mistimes it off the inside half of the bat. The ball travels flat towards deep mid-wicket, where Rabeya Khan pouches it around her face. Silva walks back after an impressive inning of 75 (78) and Sri Lanka Women are 231/8, needing 12 in the last ten balls.

48.1Tossed it up and outside off, Nilakshika Silva uses her feet and tries to drag it with a sweep shot but misses. The keeper collects it to her right and dislodges the bails, but Silva has slid her bat back in time. The square leg umpire turns down the appeal of stumping.

47.6Smart batting! On a length and around off, Nilakshika Silva uses her feet and pushes it off the upper half of the bat towards cover and sneaks a quick single to keep the strike. Sri Lanka Women need 12 runs off 12 balls now.

47.5On a length and outside off, dabbed down to the right of backward point for a single. 13 off 13 needed now.

47.4Lands it full and outside off, Silva shuffles again and tries to ramp it again but gets it off the toe end of the bat on this occasion. The ball lands ahead of short third and they cross.

47.3Full and wide outside off, Nilakshika Silva shuffles and swipes it in the gap to the right of deep square leg for a couple of runs. She is keeping her side in the game alone by herself.

46.4Tossed it up and outside off, Dewmi Vihanga drives it to cover off the front foot.

46.3No hat trick but it has been a mighty effective over for Bangladesh Women. Full and around off, Dewmi Vihanga blocks it off the back foot.

46.2OUT! LBW! Oh, two-in-two for Nahida Akter, and she is turning the game on its head. Dishes a full ball, around middle, Anushka Sanjeewani choose to play this one off the back foot and makes a mistake. She misses her flick shot and gets caught up in her crease. Gets pinged low on the front pad and there goes an appeal for LBW from the bowler. The umpire raises her finger and Nahida Akter will be on a hat trick on the next ball.

46.1OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What a timely breakthrough for the Bangladesh Women. Nahida Akter shortens her length after seeing the batter running down the track and keeps the line outside off. Piumi Wathsala has to adjust her shot as she tries to cut it, but manages to get a thin outside edge only. The keeper, Rubya Haider, moves to her right a bit and takes it. Though she has dislodged the bails also, the umpire has raised her finger before. Piumi Wathsala walks back after a good cameo.

45.6Nice and full, around off, Piumi Wathsala advances and eases it down to long off for a single. Sri Lanka Women are 218/5, needing 25 runs more in 24 balls.
