5:26 PM IST and LOCAL TIME: That's it! The winning runs off the blade of Anushka Sanjeewani. The Sri Lankan side gets their revenge on India after a loss in a curtailed 39-over-per-side game previously. Both sides occupy the top two spots with four points from three matches in the series.

Similar to their counterparts, Sri Lanka lost a wicket in the form of a runout inside the powerplay before Vishmi Gunaratne and Harshitha Samarawickrama built the empire for the chase. Having added 42 runs inside the powerplay, the duo knitted a fifty-run partnership with a watchful approach against the spinners. While Sneh Rana and Deepti Sharma bowled tight, Nallapureddy Charani leaked runs as Sri Lanka brought up their 100 in the 22nd over. Right after, the 78-run stand fragmented before a fifty from Harshitha Samarawickrama. Right after. She departed in the 26th over before Chamari Athapaththu’s downfall in the 33rd over. A 57-run partnership for the fifth-wicket followed, with Kavisha Dilhari playing second fiddle to Nilakshi de Silva’s onslaught. While Sneh Rana got the better of Dilhari in the 39th over, de Silva’s 33-ball 56, highlighted by five fours and three sixes, laid the foundation for the tricky chase. By the 45th over, the Island nation were 257/7 with the tail easing the chase without much fuss, highlighted by a four off Anushka Sanjeewani to help her side go past the finishing line.

Earlier in the game, Sri Lanka Women won the toss and sent the Indians to bat first, making way for a 51-run opening partnership before Smriti Mandhana was engaged in a runout. Her opening partner, Pratika Rawal followed suit in a space of 20 balls from the first wicket before Harleen Deol’s 29, Harmanpreet Kaur’s 30, and Jemimah Rodrigues’ 37 steered them to 181/5 in 35.2 overs. A 52-run stand was seen between Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma for the sixth-wicket with the Siliguri-bred smashing a 48-ball 58, spread around three sixes and five fours. Handy contributions from the lower order steered India Women to 275/9 in 50 overs.

Stay tuned for the post-match presentation and quotes.

Time for the post-match presentation ceremony..

Harmanpreet Kaur (India Women Captain): "I think the Lankan team batted really well, we missed two catches when we got opportunities. We were also one bowler short after the loss of Kashvee, but no matter the situation we still have to keep fighting.

The way Richa was batting, we thought we would cross 280, but after losing her we did not execute well and it was a turning point for us. The top order is doing a great job for us, batting wise we are still okay but I think bowling is somewhere we need keep getting breakthroughs.

We could capitalize on the opportunities today."

Player of the Match: Nilakshi de Silva

Nilakshi de Silva (Player of the Match): I know the crowd from a long time and I would like to thank them. We backed ourselves and played fearless cricket irrespective of the situation."

Chamari Athapaththu (Sri Lanka Women Captain): "We played positive cricket in the last game and today as well. The youngsters are playing their best cricket, as a captain I am very proud of them.

We are ready for any situation. If we lose the toss, we will try to score 250+, that's our target. Last 2 games I wasn't in my best form and we wanted to try a few things before the World Cup, hence I batted down the order.

As a senior player I want to lead from the front. I have played for 15 years but didn't bowl much. Keeping it simple is my mantra."

This is it from the fourth match of the ongoing Tri-Nation series. Sri Lanka Women have beaten India Women convincingly by three wickets.
