Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier in the game, Dambulla Aura were off to a solid start after opting to bat courtesy of their openers. Jordan Cox and Shevon Daniel notched up their fifties and stitched a 163-run opening stand. However, once that partnership was broken, Dambulla Aura lost their way towards the end of the innings losing 3 wickets in the final over and could not finish on a high. Despite the late blip with the bat, the bowlers delivered and helped Dambulla Aura to successfully defend the total.
Galle Gladiators did a good job to restrict the opposition to a lower total and it was upon the batters to start well in their pursuit of 179. However, Kusal Mendis and Thanuka Dabare were dismissed cheaply and were reduced to 52-4 inside the Powerplay. Lahiru Udara, Asad Shafiq and Iftikhar Ahmed did get off to decent starts but failed to make it count. The onus was on Iftikhar Ahmed to bail them out of trouble but he kept losing partners and as a result, Galle Gladiators were bowled out for 130 falling short by 48 runs.
Dambulla Aura are finally off the mark in the Lanka Premier League 2022! A clinical display with both bat and ball sees Dambulla Aura collect their first points of the competition. Their bowlers were right on the money since the start taking four wickets inside the Powerplay. They continued to keep it tight after the Powerplay as well. However, they did concede a few when Iftikhar Ahmed and Lahiru Udara were batting. They clawed their way into the game after dismissing the set batters and bundled out the opposition for 130. Pramod Madushan was the pick of the bowlers for them with figures of 3 for 17. While Sikandar Raza too chipped in with two wickets and Dasun Shanaka, Matthew Forde, Dilum Sudeera and Noor Ahmad took a wicket each.

Time for Strategic Time-out! Dambulla Aura must be sensing their first victory of the competition considering their position in the game.

With Galle Gladiators needing 112 runs from 66 balls, a lot rests on the shoulders of Iftikhar Ahmed and he needs support from the other end. Also, Dilum Sudeera (1-0-5-0) is back into the attack.

Pramod Madushan To Asad Shafiq OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Third wicket down inside the Powerplay and this is a big one of Asad Shafiq! Pramod Madushan with an effort delivery, a short one on off. Shafiq tries to pull it but gets a huge top edge that goes aerialy between mid off and mid on. Dasun Shanaka at mid off takes the catch and does well to not collide with the fielder at mid on.

A fullish delivery and outside off. Shafiq tries to drive it but misses. There is an appeal from the keeper and after some hesitation Dasun Shanaka takes the DRS. The replays roll in and the UltraEdge shows no bat here. So, the original decision stays. Asad Shafiq will continue.

Pramod Madushan To Thanuka Dabare OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Both the openers are back in hut now! A shortish delivery on off to start from Pramod Madushan and Dabare tries to take on the bowler straightway. He goes for a big slog but miscues it. The ball goes high in the air towards deep mid-wicket where young Shevon Daniel runs to his right, keeps his eye on the ball and takes a fine catch. Great start for Dambulla this!
It will be Pramod Madushan to bowl from the other end.

Dasun Shanaka To Kusal Mendis OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Mendis departs for a golden duck and probably that back injury might have contributed in him playing such a loose shot. This is full and on off. Mendis tries to lift it over the mid off fielder. However, he fails to get any power behind this shot and ends up hitting it straight to Pramod Madushan at mid off. Big wicket and just the start Aura needed.
Slight halt! Kusal Mendis is down on the ground with some discomfort in his back. The physio is out to treat his spasm. Kusal Mendis is ready to resume.
