Scorer: Harshith Gowda | Commentator: Ekanth

Another convincing win for India. Sri Lanka will hope that a change in venues will change their trajectory. For now, they have a few things to work on. Catch us again on Friday to see if there are changes. Thanks for joining us today. I'm Ekanth, signing off on behalf of our scorers Harshith and Raghav.

Shafali Verma, POTM At the start, the ball was holding a bit. I tried to play along the ground and work my way up. Sometimes, I don't get time and balls to face and end up hitting out. I learnt today that I can keep the ball along the ground and still score. Cricket always teaches you things, it's important to accept things. That's the only way you can improve.

Harmanpreet Kaur, India captain Really happy with the way we bowled. Bowlers took responsibility and put us into a good situation. Shafali and others batted well. We know what Rana can bring to the team, Deepti's doing well for a long time. Really happy the way Vaishnavi bowled today, we missed a chance off her last game. We're working really hard on fielding, things have gone wrong but today it came right. We had chats on setting standards with the way we bat. Everyone's stepping up with a positive mindset.

Chamari Athapaththu, Sri Lanka captain: We had a good powerplay but lost a couple of wickets, then struggled in the middle overs. India bowled according to their plans. Batters always played horizontal bat, which is an area for improvement. We have to score more than 150 while batting first, we're trying to rotate strike more than hit boundaries, but we should do the latter more. This wicket was very good for batting, especially with dew.

9:43pm A big win first game, even bigger this time. Last game, it was Rodrigues who took India home. This game, it was Shafali, with some help from Rodrigues too. Their attack ensured that Sri Lanka were never given a sniff. A win with 49 balls to spare shows just how one-sided that was. One more win and India seal the series.

Madara to H Kaur, OUT, It is, but for Harman. Gets too far inside the line and misses the sweep. The yorker pings leg stump

Gimhani to H Kaur, 2 runs, Full on leg, this time Harmannails the hard sweep. Gets it to deep midwicket's right. Brilliant fielding - sliding stop to keep it in. Then there's miscommunication with the running. Shafali's stuck at the striker's and is ambling, as Harman tells her to keep running. Bowler ran towards midwicket to collect throw, couldn't hit the stumps direct. Would've been had had she hit
