  1. One thing to consider. With one defeat already to their name, Australia might have looked to this game as an opportunity to boos their net run-rate. It didn't work out that way. Even though they won, it could yet have consequences.

  2. Rachael Haynes is player of the match. Her 60 dug the Aussies out of the soup. How different might it have been if she had been held on 26, though?

  3. Remember, Australia were 10-3. Sri Lanka dropped three catches and could have had Meg Lanning caught behind had they not wasted their review. The hosts can thanks their lucky Southern Stars.

  4. Meg Lanning still looks less than pleased. She knows her side have been nowhere near their best. Chamari Atapattu is gutted too. Sri Lanka have missed the chance of a famous upset.

  5. Australia win by five wickets

    Aus 123-5

    The huge cheer in Perth tells you that Australi have got over the line. Ellyse Perry scampers another two, winning this game with five wickets and three balls in hand. That is nowhere near the full story, though. What a scare the Aussies have had.

  6. Aus 121-5

    Target 123

    Late cut. Delicate from Perry. Two taken. Two needed...

  7. Aus 119-5

    Target 123

    Dot ball.

  8. Aus 119-5

    Target 123

    Ellyse Perry finally arrives, taking a single from her first delivery. Australia will need four from the final over. Three means a tie and a super over.

    That was a stern look from Atapattu. You can tell she is frustrated and she will know Sri Lanka could have won this game.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Carey b Atapattu 5 (Aus 118-5)

    Bowled her! Atapattu raises the finger to Carey after crashing one into middle stump. It's too late, though, surely?

  11. Aus 117-4

    Good running. One turned into two. Pressure on the fielder. Six needed.

  12. Aus 115-4

    Target 123

    Nicola Carey ends the over with a one-bounce four to long-on. Only eight runs required. Meg Lanning will try to finish it in the next over...

  13. Aus 110-4

    Target 123

    Of course, Lanning makes Sri Lanka pay. Sweep for four. 13 required.

  14. dropped catch

    Lanning dropped on 33

    Aus 106-4

    Tough, but a chance. Big edge from Meg Lanning, the keeper unable to hang on. That's three drops...

  15. Aus 106-4

    Target 123

    Nicola Carey is the new bat. Where's Ellyse Perry?

  16. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    If Australia lose from here, they've properly thrown the game away.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Haynes st Sanjeewani b Siriwardene 60 (Aus 105-4)

    Is this the twist, or has it come too late? Rachael Haynes sprints past a very slow delivery from the returning Shashlika Siriwardene and is stumped by miles. An opportunity for Sri Lanka to build some dots coming up.

  18. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    This is where you see the difference between the top teams in women's cricket.

  19. dropped catch

    Haynes dropped on 59

    Aus 105-3

    And another. If Australia win this game, they can thank Sri Lanka for their generosity. Haynes belts a full toss down the ground. It should go for six, but she's clothed it. Still, a pretty simple chance is shelled at long-on. Two big drops by Sri Lanka.

  20. Aus 103-3

    Target 123

    Now Meg Lanning joins the party, pulling opposite number Chamari Atapattu for four. Less than a run a ball required.
