00:00Sri Lanka vs India in the 2024 Women's Asia Cup Final that will be decided in Dambulla.
00:14Toss took place a short while back.
00:16Harmanpreet Kaur, blink of an eye said that her Indian team will bat first.
00:23Inoshi Fernando to Shefali Verma, slip and place.
00:30Even with the first ball, the evidence of Breeze that's played its part regularly.
00:38Through the field, first runs in the final in the form of a boundary.
00:46That is through the gap, sweetly timed.
00:50Shefali Verma at her best.
00:55That is class from Mandana, loves it there.
01:01Poor ball.
01:03Inoshi was on target.
01:10There is another chance, it's through now, will reach the boundary.
01:17She's looking to play across the line and she puts it away.
01:20That will be a boundary.
01:23Lovely scoop.
01:25Beautiful innovative shot.
01:27That is a lovely shot.
01:31Well, she's already showing what she can do with the bat.
01:34She was the one who was dropped and since then she's picked up three boundaries.
01:38That is a lovely pickup shot of her legs.
01:45Give it.
01:48Telhari finally has the save.
01:51But it is Shefali Verma who has to hit back a judged leg before wicket.
02:01Looking to a goal.
02:03Over the fielder's head and she nails it.
02:08In front, question asked.
02:10Given the breakthrough.
02:13Uma Chetri, will she be given her opportunity in the final?
02:16She hasn't made the most of it.
02:18Sri Lanka up and away now.
02:19The captain, as she so often does, comes on and breaks the partnership.
02:24It's one for none for her.
02:26She's got it.
02:29And it goes over extra cover.
02:31Lots of work to do in the deep for Nalachi.
02:34But she doesn't manage to cut it off.
02:36After a decent over, it finishes with a boundary.
02:40She has more thinking to do.
02:43India 77-2.
02:46A square leg had to come in.
02:49It's too short, too far down leg side.
02:52that. Strong sweep from the captain. Too much work to do in
02:59the deep. She's so good at that length. There's four all the way
03:02from the bat. Leading edge chance. Taken, the wicket's gone!
03:08Oh, quick corner of the captain after an incredible sweep shot.
03:13She plays a false shot. Nissan Salah gets the breakthrough and
03:17an excellent catch diving in front of her. Sri Lankans
03:20fielding is back. And this game is in the balance.
03:29And that's a single and that's a 50 for Preeti Mandana.
03:35Consecutive 50s in the Women's Asia Cup final.
03:42There you go. That is gone. That is gone many miles. That's gone
03:47for the maximum.
03:51Has both weapons in her arsenal, the off and the leg.
03:56Run out chance! That could be out! Sri Lanka believe. And has
04:03Jemima judged that horribly wrong? We go upstairs. Massive
04:08moment in the innings. Jemima Rodriks is gone for 29. It's a
04:13big wicket. 1-2-8 for 4 India.
04:15There's only one fielder deep on the offside and that is the
04:22area that Richa Ghosh targets. That is the shot of her batter
04:26in form. She's off with four.
04:31This time targets left side. In the air. This will take some
04:34catching. And it is Shamari Ataponte. Who else?
04:38There is nothing that the Sri Lankan captain cannot do. And
04:47that is the big wicket of Mandana. India perhaps in a spot
04:50of bother. 1-3-3 for 5.
04:57And that is insults.
05:03And Ghosh goes down the ground and off the bounce in four.
05:08She is making Sri Lanka pay.
05:13Oh, that sounded good. Fielders can only watch that. That is a
05:19massive six to bring up the 150.
05:26Over short third.
05:31Keeper. No doubt about this one. Almost a sarcastic appeal by
05:36Anushka Sanjeevani.
05:39That is a strong finish by Udeshika Prabodhani and Sri
05:45Lanka. Just seven of the last over and the wicket of Richa
05:50Ghosh. Which means India after winning the toss in the final
05:54and batting first, finish with 165-6.
05:59So 166.
06:01Sri Lanka are on the way.
06:08The shot.
06:14And that is a massive six to bring up the 150.
06:17And that is a strong finish by Anushka Sanjeevani.
06:21Just seven of the last over and the wicket of Richa Ghosh.
06:25Which means India after winning the toss in the final and batting
06:30first, finish with 165-6.
06:37This is good for them. Oh, terrible mix-up.
06:42That is just a gift, an unforced error.
06:51Stranded at the same end as her captain.
06:53The silence in the stadium as India have their first without
06:57barely breaking a sweat.
06:59Up and over.
07:02That is how you put the error behind you.
07:09Chamarya Tabatu bosses this through mid-wicket.
07:14Two boundaries in the over.
07:1617-1 Sri Lanka.
07:21Well, talk about leg side. She's got the leg side in it.
07:25Got the treatment. That's going a long way.
07:29And there Chamarya goes for another big.
07:31And she does clear it.
07:36This one's tossed up. Too short.
07:38Too wide. Four ball.
07:43It has to be probably a flatter trajectory.
07:46Just around that foot length area.
07:48But this one again, too short.
07:51Picked up the gap nicely. The fielder had no chance.
07:54One more ball to go has been a big over for Sri Lanka.
07:59That's gone.
08:02She's now exploding with the bat.
08:05And they've picked up a boundary here.
08:12Oh, my God.
08:14That's gone too. It'll be a boundary.
08:21We're going to sweep his watch for Samara Wickremont.
08:24We're going to sweep his watch for Samara Wickremont.
08:29That is another boundary.
08:31Her third.
08:34That was slightly, but was fired in.
08:37The pace was there to be dealt with.
08:39And all she needed to do was get some will on it.
08:46Down the ground. One bounce fall.
08:49Oh, big shot attempted.
08:51She got a lot of that.
08:54Brilliant from Vastakhan.
08:56Can't complete the catch.
08:58But she's done really well to save five.
09:05Oh, this is in the gap.
09:07Fifteen for Samaria Dabbatu.
09:10She is a national treasure.
09:12She is a national treasure.
09:19That's struck powerfully.
09:21Oh, it's the power of Samaria Dabbatu.
09:24Who gives fielders.
09:29Dabbatu goes down the ground.
09:34And she is dismissed.
09:36Deepti Sharma silences the crowd in Dambulla.
09:42Bouncer.
09:43Helped on its way. Chance all the way.
09:45Six. Didn't manage to keep it in.
09:47But that's a mistake in the deep
09:49because it was there to be calmed down.
09:51But Tamuja, after a good over,
09:53the last time out, makes a mess of it.
09:56Just doesn't judge the jump.
09:58And the wind maybe helped it on its way.
10:00So it's a four backed up by a six.
10:05Big hit into the left side.
10:07This is all the way into the crowd.
10:09What a shot that is.
10:12It has all the power in the world
10:14when it's with the wind.
10:16Deepti Sharma bowling really well.
10:19And that is hit for a boundary
10:22from Dilhari.
10:24Welcome boundary.
10:32Fifty for Harshita Samara Vikrama.
10:36A sixth in the T20.
10:39He's a second in 2024.
10:42And it could not come
10:44at a bigger and better stage
10:46in front of a fat house in Dambulla.
10:50Radha Yadav.
10:51Big shot by Samara Vikrama.
10:53All the way for six.
11:00Fielders are in the ring.
11:02Harshita
11:04is on the verge of creating history.
11:06And it will be in the gap as well.
11:16History for Sri Lanka.
11:20They have sailed the ancient throne
11:22for the first time.
11:26A wondrous moment to behold
11:30by Chamundi Attappadu Sri Lanka.
11:32One of the many girls
11:34from their most native neighbourhoods.
11:37And now Mr. Shami Silva
11:39will present
11:41the tournament trophy
11:43to Chamundi Attappadu
11:45Sri Lanka champions
11:47of the 2024
11:49Women's Asia Cup.
