Raji: "Hope Renuka or Deepti gets the POTM award not Shafali. " -- Yep, the bowlers set this up beautifully

Not me, someone else said this.

Another day, another dominant performance by India in this series. Renuka Singh, brought in as a powerplay threat, started poorly but then came back to finish with four wickets as Sri Lanka were restricted to 112 despite what looked like a good start after the first five overs. Deepti Sharma was crucial again, with three wickets that makes her the joint-highest wicket-taker in women's T20Is. Kranti Gaud was also impressive, giving away just eight runs in her first three overs, before leaking a few in her last. Despite her not getting a wicket, she helped build pressure from early on and should be happy with that display. After that, it was all about Shafali Verma, who followed up her knock of 69 not out by going 10 better as she took apart the bowlers. Eleven fours and three sixes she hit, while not offering a single chance to Sri Lanka. Kavisha Dilhari put in an impressive all-round display, but it was not nearly good enough to give her team a chance. And India have taken an unassailable lead in this series.

Congratulations to India for winning the match and series.

Fourth consecutive series victory for India Women against Sri Lanka in T20Is. The only time they lost a series against them was when both played the first series in 2014 in India.

Such a convincing win again for India. All three games have been one-sided. Shafali Verma started off with three dots in the opening over but then came the big shots. Smriti fell early and Jemimah struggled but there was no stopping Shafali. She crunched boundaries and sixes to put the Sri Lankans under tremendous pressure. The visitors gave chances to the youngsters who had no answers to Shafali's onslaught. Harmanpreet Kaur did her bit with a neat knock but it was Shafali all the way. A chase of 113 was finished with 6.4 overs to spare
