Same surface which was used yesterday when India scored 205. It looks like a really good surface with nice bounce and carry. For the bowlers, you need to be careful at the start and bowl straight because there could be a bit of help for pacers.

That's all from this Asia Cup encounter. Till the next time, this is me (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator and good mate Rudransh Khurrana.
Chamari Athapaththu is the Player of the Match and the winning captain, here is what she has to say: I am really happy today because I played good cricket. My teammates and support staff helped me in the lot. My mom is there in the ground. She has sacrificed a lot for me and thankyou to her for everything. I enjoy my cricket everyday in the middle. I know how to handle pressure and try to execute my plans. We think about the World Cup and Asia Cup final. We have to give opportunity to youngsters to build a good sayad for the future.
Winifred Duraisingam (Malaysia Women captain): Very tough game for us. I hope the girls took something from it and we come back strong from it. We are lacking experience. When we go home, we don't get to face bowlers like this.
Malaysian women haven't gotten too many opportunities to play against higher ranked oppositions and when they were given the opportunity, the Sri Lankan women absolutely blew them away, registering a massive win by 144 runs.
The target of 185 as never going to be a feasible option for Malaysia but what they will take away is the fact that they almost batted their full quota of overs. Winifred Duraisingam was dismissed in the very first over or Kawya Kavindi.
The fifteen year old Shashini Gimhani was immaculate with her lengths. Left arm wrist spinners are rare commodity in the game or cricket and the Malaysian batters couldn't quite read her variations. Two more wickets feel in quick succession after Elsa Hunter struck a brilliant shot.
Hamizah Hashim and Mahirah Ismail tried to build a partnership but there was absolutely no power from the batters which never really kept them in the game. Sachini Priyadarshini also bowled, conceding just four runs from her four overs. They were eventually bowled out with a delivery to spare. Earlier in the day it was a blistering century from Chamari Athapaththu which took Sri Lanka ro a massive score of 184.
19.5 Kawya Kavindi to Amalin Sorfina, CLEANS HER UP! Sri Lanka win by a massive 144 runs -- the highest margin of victory for them in Asia Cups. It takes them 119 balls but they take all 10 wickets. Excellent nip-backer, Srofina plays away from her body and lets it castle her!
