all over. Kavindi finally gets one on target, and Sorfina is bowled. Sri Lanka's biggest win in an Asia Cup match
SL Women vs Mas Women, 7th Match, Group B at Dambulla, Women's Asia Cup, Jul 22 2024 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That brings to an end the proceedings here, but don't go too far. We have the big Bangladesh vs Thailand match still to come.
5pm Chamari Athapaththu, who is also the Player of the Match, says: "Really happy today because I played good cricket. The main reason is because my mom is also watching. She has sacrificed a lot for me. Thank you very much, mama. I enjoy my cricket everyday in the middle. I know how to handle pressure. I just keep it simple. We made four changes because we need to give opportunities to youngsters with the World Cup coming up."
Winifred Duraisingam says: "It was a very tough game for us but I hope the girls learn something from this and come back stronger. We lack experience. This is a learning curve for us. Hope we get to play more against bowlers like these."
4.51pm Sri Lanka just too good for Malaysia. They win by 144 runs. That should seal the semi-final berth. Chamari Athapaththu has led the rout with her third T20I century, but Malaysia were really outgunned when they came out to bat. Sri Lanka always looked too good. Malaysia bowled out for 40 in 19.4 overs.

Nisansala with her last overa
was the No. 10. Fires this in, straight at the wicket, too good for Syafiqa. Bowled her through the gap. Dilhari will be on a hat-trick if she gets to bowl again
Syafiqa is the No. 10
