Angelo Perera, the skipper of Kandy Warriors, says that the first 5 overs with the ball cost them the game. Adds that they pulled things back really well with the ball in the end.
Philip Salt is the Player of the Match. He says that he is just trying to play positive cricket. Mentions that there was a bit of grass on the wicket. Tells that the ball doesn't stay new for long.
Stay tuned for the Presentation...
Earlier in the day, Dambulla Giants posted a huge total of 190 runs on the board after opting to bat first, courtesy of some clean ball-striking from Philip Salt and he was well backed up by Giants' bowlers who stuck to their task and made things hard for Kandy Warriors out in the middle. As a result, Warriors fell short by 20 runs in the end.
Dambulla Giants would be extremely pleased with their bowling and fielding effort. Nuwan Pradeep and Ramesh Mendis were the standout performers for the Giants with the ball who picked up 3 wickets each and put the Warriors' batters on the back foot. Imran Tahir also got a wicket and was economical as ever. All in all, it was a good bowling and fielding performance from Dambulla Giants which saw them starting off on a winning note.
Kandy Warriors started the chase well as Kennar Lewis looked in good nick. However, once Lewis got out the asking rate kept creeping up and it was Angelo Perera and Kamindu Mendis who tried to steady the ship but they they never got going. The Warriors kept losing wickets and found themselves 88/6. It was Rovman Powell who walked in at number 6 and smashed the ball to all parts of the ground and scored 42 off just 21 balls before perishing. Once he got out, it was just a matter of time before the Warriors were handed a defeat.
This has been a dominant performance from Dambulla Giants as they start off their campaign on a winning note. Kandy Warriors never really looked in control and kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

Nuwan Pradeep To Rovman Powell OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! That's the wicket, Dambulla Giants were looking for. Nuwan Pradeep gets rid of the big fish and that should seal the deal for them as well. Rovman Powell was troubled by the short ball in the last over and Pradeep was smart enough to keep it short, on middle. Rovman Powell tries to pull but mistimes it straight to mid off. Chamika Karunaratne is stationed over there and grabs the catch to end Powell's innings.
Strategic Time-Out! Rovman Powell has given his side a glimmer of hope but they still have a long way to go. Dasun Shanaka and his boys would hope that they get the prized wicket of Powell which would shut things for the Kandy Warriors. An interesting passage of play awaits!
