    That's where we're going to wrap matters up - take a look at Jack's match report - but I hope you'll join us again tomorrow, where the action switches to Sydney for two crucial games in England's group.

    First up, it's South Africa v Pakistan at 04:00 GMT - a win would take SA into the semi-finals, whereas a Pakistan triumph would really put the cat among the pigeons with regards to qualification.

    The main course for us is then England v West Indies at 08:00 - where again, Heather Knight's side can all but qualify for the last four if they win.

    We'll be starting the live coverage at 03:30, TMS will have commentary of both games from 03:45, we'll have in-play clips on both games and is there really a better way to spend your Sunday morning?

    I think not. Take care and goodbye until then.

    And if India-Sri Lanka was a procession, New Zealand's win over Bangladesh was far more exciting, very much a low-scoring thriller.

    Take a look at the full highlights here - and a fantastic catch from Pinky.

    And it all ended with a four from Deepti Sharma to ensure India went 4x4 - played four, won four.

    Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur both briefly shone before getting themselves out:

    We were then treated to another sparkling innings from 16-year-old Shafali Verma.

    The first of these clips - a cover-driven four off the very first ball of the innings - is worth watching multiple times.

  6. Captain's viewpublished at 06:56 Greenwich Mean Time 29 February 2020

    India captain Harmanpreet Kaur: "You have to keep that momentum and not lose it at any cost. The bowlers understood the wicket very well. Today I was quite positive, I got a few boundaries and in the upcoming games I will give my best."

    On teenager Shafali Verma, who made 47: "She is someone who loves to play big shots, we don't want to stop her as cricket is all about enjoying the moment. She's doing well for the team and I hope she can continue."

  7. Captain's viewpublished at 06:53 Greenwich Mean Time 29 February 2020

    Sri Lanka captain Chamari Atapattu: "The score was not enough to defend, but we dropped a couple of chances, we know Shafali is a young talent and we couldn't stop her. I got a good start but unfortunately I got out in 10 overs, I need to stay there for 16 or 17 overs. If I stay there, we could get 150-plus. I hope our batting is better against Bangladesh."

    India will now have a few days off until the semi-finals at the SCG in Sydney on Thursday. They will play the runners-up from Group B - which may well be England.

    Sri Lanka will stay in Melbourne, while on Monday they face a Group A wooden-spoon match against Bangladesh. On offer for the winners is automatic qualification for the next edition of this tournament - the bottom team will have to go through qualifying tournaments.

    India have had the same track record as they had in the 2018 World T20 when they were unbeaten in the group stage and were the first team to reach the semi-finals. Shafali Verma has continued to impress and entertain, as has the four-pronged bowling attack.

    The only worry is... Shafali Verma's due for a low score!

    So, India are confirmed as Group A winners, with four victories from four games.

    Deepti Sharma slog-sweeps for four - India have won by seven wickets!

    "After you, Deepti", says Jemimah Rodrigues as she steers a single to long-on and declines a second run. Two needed.

    Off-spinner Umesha Thimeshani to bowl for the first time. India add a couple of singles. Three needed. Time to win it with a boundary?

    A contrasting innings from Harmanpreet Kaur - which featured a big six over square leg, and a tame ending.

  17. Ind 109-3published at 14 overs

    Three singles means it's five needed from six overs. Last rites coming up.

    Oh, dear. Rodrigues is almost walking off in disgust at her shot when she's dropped at mid-wicket - and it's the captain, Chamari Atapattu.

    I think Deepti Sharma wants to finish this off with some boundaries.
