Pakistan haven't played sensibly at all. They've struggled to find the balance between intent, and blocking when necessary. None of the Pakistan batters have looked overly comfortable out there.
Prabodhani bowls Dar for 23
Nida Dar batted with good intent for Pakistan before she was cleaned up by Udeshika Prabodhani
Sri Lanka have won their last seven women’s T20 internationals in the UAE. Pakistan have lost their last five matches in the country.
Fatima Sana offers a couple of chances either side of four through mid-off Chamari Athapaththu. The Pakistan captain is swinging from the hip.

Slightly brainless cricket, I'm afraid. She has offered the most gentle of catches to short mid-wicket.
Baig c Prabodhani b Kumari 2 (Pak 84-8)
Baig caught for two
A bit daft if we are honest.
Diana Baig needed to hang around to bat with her captain, but instead goes for a big shot across the line to Sugandika Kumari and the ball drops into the hands of Udeshika Prabodani at short mid-wicket.

Fatima Sana has got a lot on her shoulders here as the new captain. Her team have left her with a lot to do.
A powerful whack down the ground from Fatima Sana gives Pakistan a much-needed boundary off Sugandika Kumari.
The ball plugs in the turf, but has enough on it to dribble to the rope.
Dil Dil Pakistan, blares out from the public address system
Pakistan are in big trouble here. They need to bat these overs and somehow scrape their way to 100.

This is poor batting from Pakistan's perspective. A score of less than 100 could be on the cards and that is nowhere near competitive enough against this Sri Lanka team.
Hat-trick ball from Chamari Athapaththu...Close!
Diana Baig prods tentatively and there's a hint of an edge. Chamari turns on her heels to appeal, only to see Anushka Sanjeewani has already spilled the ball.

That is as out, as out can be.
Riaz lbw b Athapaththu 0 (Pak 74-7)
Athapaththu picks up back-to-back wickets
A strange review.
Aliya Riaz was already on her way, having been struck in front but is convinced by Fatima Sana to review it.
Three reds and she's on her way back to the dug out.
Has Chamari Athapaththu got two in two here?
Aliya Riaz is struck on the pad and it's given out on field.
At the last moment Riaz decides to review.

It's been a period of frustration for Pakistan and they were struggling to get the ball away. You could see something like that coming, for sure.
Hassan c Sanjeewani b Chamari 5 (Pak 74-6)
Superb work from Anushka Sanjeewani behind the stumps.
Tuba Hassan attempts to cut Chamari Athapaththu but slices it into the gloves of the Sri Lanka wicketkeeper, who takes a fine reaction catch.
Pakistan fans, there is hope! Skipper Fatima Sana is in some of the best batting form of her career. Her recent knocks are: 22*, 23*, 37*, 37* and 27. Each innings came at a good strike-rate too!
Pakistan Fatima Sana is the new batter. There's a feeling she should be batting a little higher up than this.

Nida Dar goes for a big old whack and she misses it! It clatters into the stumps.
Dar b Prabodhani 23 (Pak 72-5)
Prabodhani bowls Dar for 23
That put the mockers on Nida Dar.
She attempts to give herself room and swings hard looking to whack Udeshika Prabodani down the ground, but hears the death rattle instead as she misses a full one.
