SL 102/2 in 22 overs

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: The pressure is mounting on Sri Lanka after Chamari Athapaththu's wicket as the runs have slowed down and the Indian spinners have started taking control over the game with their disciplined bowling. SL 87/2 in 18 overs

A big wicket for India at this stage of the game to bounce back in the game. It was much-needed as Athapaththu was batting with ease there. SL 82/2 in 15 overs

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Chamari Athapaththu once again targeted Deepti Sharma for a six and a four. The partnership has become a concern for India here, with both batters looking well set in the middle. SL 74/1 in 13 overs

SL's key partnership now. Athapaththu with Samarawickrama. They know how to beat India.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Nice solid start from the batters. Will want to take benefit of the restrictions before spinners slow it up.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Amanjot and Deepti's partnership was almost historic for how well it did to rescue India. At the end of it, their team is now defending 271 in 47 overs. They might just about be the favourites to defend this at this point. Big effort needed from Athapaththu at the top of the order.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Deepti Sharma falls on the last ball, but it's a sensational effort after being 6 down for 124 earlier in the innings. Her fifty alongside Amanjot's crucial for a strong score, and Sneh Rana's cameo ensures they have plenty to bowl at. Neither team will be too disappointed, but Sri Lanka will feel they missed the chance to crack down when they were ahead in the game.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Sensational from Sneh Rana! Making this innings really count late on. India looking at 270 now, after a big six, a wide, and a misfield help her out. Great cameo.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Good hitting from Sneh Rana! Gets low and hoicks one for six. India getting a good ending. Will want another 15 from this last over.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: WHAT A GRAB THAT IS! And could be so important, Amanjot was looking good. She swings, nearly picks the gap perfectly, but Vishmi – making her a name as a fielder today – hustles across to put in a solid dive and hold onto it with two hands. Really good catch! 227/7 with 3.3 to play.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Thankfully just a short break, game down to a 47-over contest now though. Any further breaks will keep losing overs, but an opportunity for India to set a big total here.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Uh oh, not great for India this! Deepti and Amanjot put in the hard yards without really looking to explode, but the rain has arrived, meaning that finish is delayed. India only going at 5.25 and six wickets down, remember. If this pair even gets 5 more overs in that total will look a lot more daunting. Anxious eye in the sky.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: 50 partnership up in quick time for this pair, and it's with some explosive batting! Amanjot pounces on an overpitched one, and then Deepti sweeps one down leg. Good batting, India recovering well.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Amanjot Kaur gets lucky! India have been batting well through this little period, but it was nearly disaster as she top edges on. Sri Lanka, who have been great in the field, sloppy here as they drop a simple chance.

15 overs to play, India will want another 100-odd from here.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Strong start to her innings from Deepti Sharma, counter-punching just to get the score moving again. She has the support of Amanjot, who we know can clear the fence, but the bulk of responsibility will be needed to be taken by Deepti.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: The state of this match has changed so much in just 12 deliveries! The fourth wicket in that span of time as the Lankan skipper sends Richa Ghosh packing. It's very, very wide, Richa tries to smack it, but doesn't have balance and rather spoons it to point. That's another soft wicket and Sri Lanka are in total control now!

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: HUGE MOMENT! Harmanpreet Kaur needed to stick in to stabilise after this 2 wicket over, but she also falls in the same one! Tries to guide Ranaweera to third, but just guides it to the wicketkeeper off the face of her bat. India in massive massive trouble!

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Timber! Dream spinner's wicket, that one. Jemimah is beaten in the flight and guile, she is tempted into going forward but never reaches the pitch. She takes a poke at it but it turns sharply past her outside edge and she is bowled! Sensational bowling and Sri Lanka are on top now!

Deepti in for the hat-trick ball… fends it off.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Harleen was finally beginning to attack, picking up a pair of boundaries in the last over, but Ranaweera slows it up and picks up her second wicket! It's a soft dismissal, Harleen has to stretch for it, and chips it right to cover.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Better from Harmanpreet, not allowing the same pressure to keep building. Need SL to start scratching heads a little, and with batting to come, playing some attacking cricket is the way to do that.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: THERE'S THE WICKET! India were finally trying to push their scoring, and Pratika pays the price for having to play catch-up. Hits it hard but straight to deep mid-wicket, it's a flat one which also needed two chances to be taken cleanly. It's a good catch as Vishmi reacts well on the second attempt.

Pratika out for 37. Opening for SL!

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Better from India. Happy to back themselves to take a couple more risks. About to reach the 20 over mark with wickets in hand.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Much more of that needed. Been a while since a boundary, and that's the first six of the innings. Times it beautifully over mid-off, elevates and finds the distance for the maximum.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Slow, slow going. This isn't a bad scoring track, but India are being passive, even with the field out.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Welcome back. Been a delay of over 75 minutes. Means Harleen and Pratika need to get set again.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: So a scheduled resumption time now of 5 PM, but four total overs lost given this hour-plus break.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: It's very dark out there. The rain is just hanging around. Another pause in play right before we thought it would restart.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Play set to begin again at 4:35 PM, with the covers coming off and the grounds crew and super soakers in operation now. Good news!

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: India do rely on Smriti to do the brunt of the scoring through the first portion of the innings, with Pritika, Harleen, and Harman all being relatively tame before they are set. Someone will need to put their hand up in the next 10 overs and say okay, I'm going to take a risk or two here.

Still waiting for play to restart.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: So India going along nicely but without any really big overs. After the end of the powerplay, though, an interruption due to the weather. Rains have been sweeping through northern India, and the players walk off as the heavens open up and the covers are put in place.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Couple of lovely boundaries from the bat of Harleen Deol already. How she performs at 3 to stitch together the top and middle orders will be key, but at this moment her role is to build this innings in Mandhana's absence.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: She can't keep it going! Finally gets some room from Prabodhani so tries to drive, but is early through it. Slices it aerially, and there's a fielder at cover just for that. Good captaincy, good bowling, and Mandhana's run of form is halted! Sri Lanka with an early opening.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Can't bowl into her pads early, she is so comfortable off them. Couple of loose ones, and she can just tuck them away perfectly for a pair of boundaries.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Sri Lanka keeping it very tight and accurate early on, nothing loose to Mandhana. She plays out a maiden.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Set to go after a brief opening procession. Pratika Rawal takes strike — she needs to have a really strong tournament at the top. Kulasooriya opens the bowling.

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: Plenty of bowling in their top seven means Athapaththu will have a big stock of options to turn to right through this innings, but early impact will be needed to contain the Indian batting in the middle overs.

Chamari Athapaththu (c), Hasini Perera, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Vishmi Gunaratne, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Achini Kulasuriya, Sugandika Kumari, Udeshika Prabodhani, Inoka Ranaweera

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: A couple of seamers as Amanjot Kaur returns and Kranti Gaud starts, but it's a spin-heavy bowling attack for India with three tweakers. A strong batting unit with plenty of depth as well.

Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Amanjot Kaur, Sneh Rana, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani

India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Women’s World Cup 2025, IND-W vs SL-W: NEWS FROM THE TOSS! Harman spins it, Chamari calls it, and it's the Sri Lankan who calls right. Chooses to bowl first, and Harman wanted to do the same.
