Drinks break! It has been a positive first 10 overs in the field for Australia Women as they have picked up 3 wickets and have kept the scoring rate in check. However, their pacers have been a bit patchy and have already bowled five no balls which is just unheard of. Sri Lanka Women are trying to fight back and Harshitha Madhavi is leading that charge.
