Two losses in two matches for Sri Lanka and their last game is against South Africa, who have also been knocked out. Before that, Australia and Pakistan take one each other tomorrow followed by India playing Barbados. Do join us for the coverage then. Till then, good night, take care, stay safe!

9:02pm New Zealand and England have now made the semi-final from Group B! They are equal on points and their match in a couple of days will decide the order. 148 was always going to be a tall ask for Sri Lanka and Jensen set the tone early with Athapaththu's wicket. Thereon, batting was laborious for Sri Lanka who merely managed to cross 100, thanks to de Silva's 36. Jensen finished with superb figures of 3 wickets for 5 runs in her four overs. Carson also managed to pick up a couple to add to Sri Lanka's misery.
