Presentation Time....
Earlier in the innings, after being asked to bat first, Galle Gladiators got off to the worst possible start and no batter looked comfortable for them. However, a gritty half-century from Sahan Arachchige who was playing his first game of the season took them to a total of triple figures. They came out to defend with a good mindset and made early inroads, but Ravi Bopara and Angelo Mathews made sure that they go empty-handed and knocked them out of the tournament.
Galle Gladiators put on a decent fight with the ball, but it was always going to be difficult to defend 108. They tried their best and started well too with both pacers, Nuwan Pradeep and Nuwan Thushara keeping the batters quiet. However, they just could not pick up enough wickets in the middle. They still managed to take the game to the second last over, but could not get over the line. Nuwan Pradeep and Imad Wasim chipped in with the wickets for them. They will be disappointed as they crash out of the tournament and will need to come back stronger next season.
Colombo Stars have managed to avoid a scare and got over the line in the end. It was not a convincing batting display, though. Both openers played some lusty blows but could not stick around for long, and not too long after that, they lost Charith Asalanka to a run-out. Nishan Madushka opened the innings and ate up 27 balls for his 13 runs, then threw his wicket away. They were 44-3 at one stage, but, it was the experience of Ravi Bopara and Angelo Mathews that controlled the game and absorbed the pressure to take it deep. They targeted the 15th over and made sure there were no more hiccups, and they took the Stars over the line.
Colombo Stars have done it! They register their first-ever win in the knockout stages of LPL and will now face the Kandy Falcons in Qualifier 2. In the end, it was their skipper, Angelo Mathews along with Ravi Bopara who kept their calm and finished the job with an over to spare.
