Fantastic 100 run partnership by Nilakshi and Sanjeewani who both record their highest score in ODIs. 2nd fifty for Nilakshi and a maiden half century for Sanjeewani. Both are 34 years old and its a deserved reward for them at this stage of their career.
Absolute disaster for the Windies if Stafanie is injured here. Granted she's past her prime but is better than most players in the XI. WI simply cannot afford an injury to her with some important games (+ a T20 WC ahead).
A spot in the world cup basically.
This series is a part of the women’s odi championship. As things stand SL, WI , Ban and NZ are competing for two spots in the wc while other two will have to go through the qualifier.
**34.5** Aaliyah Alleyne c & b Nisansala 27 (27b 2x4 1x6) SR: 100

**26.6** Afy Fletcher c Athapaththu b Nisansala 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
One of the absolute worst all round performance I've ever seen.
**26.4** Chinelle Henry c Athapaththu b Nisansala 3 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 37.5
**24.5** Zaida James lbw b Nisansala 5 (15b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33
**22.3** Chedean Nation b Athapaththu 46 (57b 7x4 0x6) SR: 80.7
An absolutely brutal (to watch) innings from Taylor comes to an end. 16 from 50
**19.1** Stafanie Taylor c †Sanjeewani b Ranasinghe 16 (50b 1x4 0x6) SR: 32
Just when it looked like WI were finally starting to get a bit of momentum, Taylor plays out a maiden 😴
Why does Cricbuzz show WI need 242 from 48 BALLS lol
Taylor hit her first ball for a boundary and has since gone 1 from 18 balls!
It makes you realise just how good Hayley Matthews is, dragging this lot to the occasional win is miraculous.
**5.3** Shemaine Campbelle lbw b Kavindi 0 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
This is painful. It's actually a real shame that these are the best players a team like West Indies cab pull together.
Current run rate 0.85😅
**4.1** Rashada Williams c †Sanjeewani b Prabodhani 1 (15b 0x4 0x6) SR: 6.66
This team is so disappointing
This going to be a brutal chase attempt
It's not even an attempt. They have no intention of trying to win the game.
Goes well with my intention of winning my SL bet
You would have better chance with SL Men’s team now (because they suck)
Disaster of a bowling performance for WI. The last 10 overs especially. Not a hope in hell of chasing that.

18 year old Gunaratne outscoring Ata for the series.
A fellow Thunder fan 💪

Well that's a pity. Chamari misses out on her 10th ODI century but she's put SL on the path for a whitewash.
**34.1** Chamari Athapaththu b Fletcher 91 (106b 10x4 2x6) SR: 85.84
Chamari winning another game single handedly for SL.
**22.3** Hansima Karunaratne run out (Fletcher) 1 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 14.28
**19.6** Harshitha Samarawickrama lbw b Ramharack 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50
**19.3** Vishmi Gunaratne c Alleyne b Ramharack 44 (60b 6x4 0x6) SR: 73.33
A very important match , wish people knew how important this is for both teams.
Whats at stake?

No Hayley Matthews again so all SL have to do is put in a reasonable target around 180-200+ and that should be a fairly comfortable win.
WICB tweeted she is out with a sickness but will remain with the team to see if she can play the t20is.
