S Lanka (W) vs AUS Women, 8th Match at Bristol, , Jun 29 2017 - Ball by Ball Commentary

5.20pm Well, there you go. A game that looked one sided on paper, did not turn out that way at all. (Well, atleast for the first innings). Chamara Atapattu smashed her way to the record books, but Australia led by Meg Lanning, and supported by Nicole Bolton & Elysse Perry perfectly summarised how the game of cricket is played. Partnerships through their innings ensured a hiccup-free chase of 258. Australia go to the top of the table while Sri Lanka are now seventh. In case you're curious about the records Atapattu broke, head here. Hope you enjoyed the coverage today. From Sreshth and Shashank, it's goodbye.

5.15pm Chamari Atapattu is the Player of the Match. A rare honour to a player of the losing team. She says :"Happy with my performance. Played my normal game. My coach helped me a lot. Thank you very much to my team for the support. This one's for you. Actually, first 10-20 overs, I looked to take singles. After 35 overs I looked to hit the fours and sixers. I played my normal game. My hero is Sanath Jayasuriya. From a young age, I have tried to play like him. But now I have found my normal game. He helped me a lot to play my game and has supported me in my career."

5.12pm Sri Lanka captain Ranaweera: "I think we need to build partnerships and play in the middle. So I am disappointed. I am proud of Chamari, I am very happy. For our next game against England, we look to make less mistakes.

Winning captain Lanning: "Oh, look once she got going, it was hard to stop her. We couldn't stop her in the end, anyway. We know she likes to hit the ball hard and straight. We tried a whole lot of plans but none of that worked - a very special innings.

I do enjoy this ground. The square being so big, the ball runs away easily. In the innings break, I said we need someone to get a big score. Good that I managed to do that. Our bowlers were pushed today, in a good way, and worked well as the lead up to the New Zealand game."

Agrim Singh best describes Australia's chase: "The Australians were always in control, even after Chamari's heroics that gave the Lankans a decent score to defend. Lanning is a phenomena, an absolute gem of a player. Cool, calm and collected while using every bit of experience to keep the chase simple."

Reckon this may be the last over of the match

Samraat: "Already 11 centuries in just 59 matches at the age of 25. chee !!!!!!!! How much will she score by the end of career? Virat kohli and Hashim Amla of Womens cricket" - Or we can say Kohli or Amla are the Meg Lannings of Men's cricket?
