    13.4 Oh, dear. Mandhana is run out for a third time this tournament. Was it the right move to sacrifice her wicket at this point with her in this kinda form? Debatable. Harman hit this straight to point and took off, leaving Mandhana with no option but to go through with the run. That's a terrible call from Harmanpreet. She took off, stuttered, and then continued running again. Mandhana on her part could've avoided the confusion by saying no straightaway, but when the captain calls you for there single, you generally tend to simply instinctively go for it. 132/2

    12.5 tired shot and a hundred will have to wait for Shafali! She stepped out to bludgeon that but didn't get to the pitch and ended up hitting it flat to the fielder at the edge of the ring at cover. It looped to her, suggesting Shafali got no power behind the strike. But she's given India a dream platform from which they can hope to bat Sri Lanka out of the contest. 129/1

    18.4 how far has she hit that? Nope, not far enough. Miscues this straight to deep midwicket. Harmanpreet looking to muscle that but got no power behind that. Umpires checking for the front-foot no-ball but she's fine. 166/4

    17.1 that's the end of Richa's chancy knock. Kept swinging for the hills but the timing was largely off - except for that whip off her pads. This one's toe-ended straight to cover. 160/3

    18.5 yorker-length on the stumps, squeezed towards wide long-on. Fulmali turns back for a second, Deepti responds but can't make it back despite the dive. Good throw on the bounce from the deep and she's well short. India's freefall continues. 167/5

    0.4 Timberrrr Dulani goes for the scoop again, but Gaud has pulled back her length this time, and the batter misses and sees the ball crash into the top of leg. India have their first breakthrough 4/1

    9.3 And Deepti gets the big one! Outfoxes Chamari Athapaththu to go level with the Sri Lanka captain as the tournament's leading wicket-taker! She knew Athapaththu would want the big shot and pulls the length back as the batter danced down the track. The ball spins away to beat her completely and Ghosh does the needful behind the stumps. What a massive moment this is in the chase. Sri Lanka were up against it already, and their task just got harder. 62/2

    9.6 Two in the over for Deepti! Deepti now tops the wicket charts of this Asia Cup as she castles Vishmi Gunarathne, who misses her sweep after shuffling across. This time Deepti went quicker, and it just spins in a touch to go past the batter's legs and into the stumps 63/3

    13.5 this is hit back to Charani, who leaps high like a goalkeeper to complete the catch. The tormentor for India from the previous Asia Cup final is gone. Harshitha was looking to back away and slap this up and over but got no timing or power behind it. Also helped that Charani got this to break back in a long way. 86/4

    15.4 top-edges the sweep she tries to fetch from outside off, but ends up picking out Kamalini who takes a good catch on the boundary at deep square. Third wicket for Charani. The grip and bounce off the surface did Nilakshi in. 101/6

    15.2 slices this to short third where Nandani runs in a few steps before diving full-length forward to complete a catch. Dilhari wanted to go against the turn as she stepped out but ended up getting a thick outside edge. 100/5

    16.4 reverse-swept straight to Charani who comes around at short third to take a dolly. Sri Lanka's freefall continues. They got into a hole, and simply had to keep playing shots to wriggle out. Instead they've kept on slipping further and further down 103/7

    19.6 deceived in flight and she's bowled. Deepti has reaped the rewards for good old attributes. What a night she has had. India romp to a record-extending 8th Asia Cup crown. They've gone through undefeated, and have somewhat made up for the lapse in Dambulla two years ago. 111/10

    17.5 nails this sweep, or so she thinks, until Nandani runs in and dives forward to take a good catch at deep square. Sri Lanka's fall after Athpaththu's dismissal has been rather swift. 104/8

    18.6 beats her in the air and off the pitch as she tosses it up outside off. Mitali swings to the hills but misses and Richa completes an excellent stumping. Why involve fielders when you can do it yourself? Lovely from Prema Rawat. 107/9
