IND-W 98/2 (13 Overs)

Sri Lanka have no clue to the Indian openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, who are looking set to take the score near 150 or more. If that does happen, it will spell doom for the Sri Lankans as the conditions might go more slow in the 2nd innings.

IND-W - 93/0 (12 Overs)

At the halfway mark, India are 78/0 and Smriti Mandhana is nearing her first fifty of the tournament as she is unbeaten on 42 and nicely supported by Shafali Verma (35).

India women have won the toss and elected to bat first in Dubai.
