Smriti Mandhana finishes off with a six reaching her 50 in just 25 balls. Sri Lanka was completely outplayed. Indian women looked the class apart. India chased down a total of 66 with 69 balls to go on what looked like a difficult surface. India only lost to Pakistan in the tournament. As captain Harmanpreet Kaur said at the toss different players stepped up at different stages of the tournament. Today it was Renuka Singh with the ball and Mandhana with the bat. Congratulations to Indian women for lifting this trophy for the seventh time. All eyes now on men to do well Down Under.
Smriti Mandhana is not in the mood for playing it slow and finishing on a run-a-ball innings with not out next to her name. She just wants to finish it off as quickly as possible. India just needs 14 to win.
End of Powerplay with India needing 24 from 84 balls. Indian captain Harman with Smriti Mandhana are in the middle. Inoka becomes the leading wicket-taker of the tournament along with Deepthi Sharma.
Kaveesha picks up Jemimah Rodrigues. The balls keep low when the right-hander tries to hit the spinner into the stands and gets bowled. India 40/2
If any Sri Lankan deserves a pat on the back that would be Inoka Ranaweera. She picked Shafali Verma in her first over. However, one player cannot win the games of cricket.
India starts quickly off the blocks. They are in hurry to lift the trophy. Smriti Mandhana taking on the spinners the crowd cheering India! After three India 25/0
Number 10 Inoka Ranaweera is the top scorer of the innings with 18 of 22 balls that's all that needs to be known about the batting performance. Two runouts in the innings. On the other hand, India's Renuka Singh had a terrific game. She picked up three wickets with the new ball and Sri Lankans helped with two runouts. The wicket is gripping and turning and the odd ball is keeping low but to defend this total Sri Lankan bowlers have to bowl out of their skins against the formidable Indian batting lineup.
We are into death overs but for Sri Lanks it is all about playing the overs. They managed to score 50 after losing nine.
