And another, Amanjot should buy a lottery ticket.

Four drops. Last one was tough, but it's a shame after Sri Lanka started well in the field.

Finally! Good catch.

 

[Paranoid Kendroid]

Great recovery from India!

Great recovery from India!

A somewhat lucky one, they could easily have been all out for 170 if SL had not fallen apart in the field.

Looks good for batting now, ball coming on nicely under the lights (maybe a theme in the more even contests that batting second is a big advantage). I'm sure India have plenty and will defend comfortably.

Chamari needs to make at least 200 for them to win this one

Sri Lanka chased 276 against India earlier this year so they're capable of getting this if they bat well. And India's fielding hasn't been too hot so can probably count on some drops.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

They are faltering. Required rate is getting out of hand

 

[redalert]

The only question left now is who gets Player of the Match for game 1?

I reckon Deepti Sharma. A fifty and 3 wickets including the Big Fish wicket.

Great performance from Sneh and Amanjot too. What you think ? Easy call this one?

 

[CricAddict]

It's Aus vs NZ for both men and women today.

I think Healy tends to be a bowl first captain but chose to bat today. Batting first was definitely advantageous in their recent series against India, so it will be interesting to see if that trend holds.

I like the inclusion of Darcie Brown, she's been bowling pretty well recently. Bit surprised that Molineux is coming straight in after her injury break.

 

[ataraxia]

We're going to be slaughtered here.

Illing! That's more like it.

 

[Molehill]

If Litchfield stays in for a while this could get ugly.

Edit: If any Kiwis want to buy me a drink......

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Melie!

Kerr gets her first ball!

That's a relief. She was playing frighteningly well.

Although just brings Mooney to the crease who has seemingly been in the best form of all of them.

Melie Kerr must have a great record against Australia

We get rid of Perry, and Sutherland comes in. It's relentless.
