West Indies Women vs Sri Lanka Women, 17th Match, Group B, ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 - CommentaryWIW vs SLW, 17th Match, Group B, ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 - Commentary

Kawya Kavindi to Stafanie Taylor, SIX, smoked into the crowd! Short ball that sits up around the waist and Taylor opens the hip to bludgeon it over midwicket. Takes the sting out of Sri Lanka, such a costly free hit

Mithali Ayodhya to Deandra Dottin, 1 run, swinging away outside off, driven to deep backward point

Mithali Ayodhya to Hayley Matthews, out Hayley Matthews Run Out!! Direct hit and gone! Such a needless risk from Matthews. Good length on middle and leg, the ball stops on her and she checks the drive to mid-on. Was never a single there with the ball going quickly to the fielder. But she goes for it and Nilakshika makes her pay with a quick pick-up and throw. Hayley Matthews run out (Nilakshika Silva) 17(17) [4s-2]

Aaliyah Alleyne to Kavisha Dilhari, out Caught&Bowled!! Sharp return catch from Alleyne who picks up her eighth wicket of the tournament! Slower ball perhaps, Dilhari drives in the air and it comes around knee height for Alleyne. She gets low quickly and hangs on with both hands. Kavisha Dilhari c and b Aaliyah Alleyne 21(20) [4s-3]

Hayley Matthews to Vishmi Gunaratne, out Caught&Bowled!! Matthews stretches to the absolute limit as she grabs hold of this return catch. A moment of inspiration from the West Indies captain to set the tone early in this crucial match. It's ballooned off the leading edge with Gunaratne looking to tuck it through the on-side, looks to be going over Matthews but she steps back, jumps up while reaching out with the left-hand over the head. Couldn't have stretched any further than she did. A one-handed ripper. Vishmi Gunaratne c and b Hayley Matthews 1(4)
