IND Women vs SA Women, 2nd Match at Colombo, Women's Tri-Series (SL), Apr 29 2025 - Match Result

goes for another hit on the off side, but gets run out attempting to get back on strike, This was fullish again, and Mlaba has made some space to repeat the shot from the previous ball. But she's only hit it with the outside half of the bat, and it goes off towards deep point, where the fielder runs in, fires a throw into Richa Ghosh, and catches Mlaba well short.

Mlaba's got some power! That's some clean hitting. This was full, outside off and she gets underneath it beautifully and smokes it over wide long off for six. Another couple of those and SA are in business. again

was that a catch? It came off the outside edge as Khaka attempted to crash it straight. Harman at short third dived forward and collected it cleanly, but it must have bounced just short

full on the pads, flicked through square leg and Mlaba can finally get off strike

full delivery, goes off the inside edge towards square leg

fuller one outside off, Mlaba plays and misses

another one goes! Poor running from the SA tail. This was a length ball that Mlaba tried to hit through the offside, but inside edged it to the right of Reddy, who sprinted across, and collected the ball. Klaas was some way down the pitch after Mlaba had called her through I think, but she was turned back eventually and Reddy hit with a direct under-arm throw to find her short. India on the brink now.

length ball on the pads, clipped square on the legside

another wicket! It's Brits this time, and thats a HUUUUGE blow. Brits is down the track trying to slam this down the ground, but she gets too close to the pitch of the ball (it was a quickish one from Rana) and all she does is give the bowler a return catch at belly-height, which she receives gleefully.

floated up outside off, dug out down to long off

Rana strikes again! This was Dercksen again going to that favoured legside, trying to slog sweep Rana over deep square leg. She doesn't strike it cleanly though, and the deep square leg fielder picks that up comfortably, and completes the catch around knee-height in the outfield

flatter one on the stumps, Brits eases this down to long on

slips it through her defences! Rana bowled a match-turning spell against Sri Lanka. is she doing it again. She beats de Klerk with a little extra pace, I think. This is full, and there to be swept, but Rana has shot this one through before de Klerk gets her bat into position. It spins into middle and leg.

flatter ball on the stumps, swung away over square leg with another pull. Doesn't hit this so well though, so it just goes on the bounce to deep square leg

full, on the stumps, thumped down to long on, and Dercksen keeps strike

another one of those bruising legside swipes. This is too short again from Reddy, and Derckson gets into place for that pull shot early. This is closer to the deep midwicket fielder, but she still can't touch it

fullish ball that Dercksen tries to clobber over wide long on, but she misses

length ball tight into off, which Dercksen tries to crash through the offside, but she finds cover

Dercksen's got some power. This is another slow one, which barely gets above knee-high for the batter, who swivels her body, and slams that between midwicket and square leg. That went rapidly to the boundary

length ball, slower one, just wide of off. Dercksen threw her bat it it and missed
