Right then, that is it from the game. Jaffna Kings get their third win and make their way on the top of the table. The Lanka Premier League, 2024 action continues as we have two games lined up on Sunday, the 7th of July. It will be Galle Marvels versus Kandy Falcons at 3 pm IST (9.30 am GMT) and Colombo Strikers versus Dambulla Sixers at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). Do join us for the early build-up as well. Until then, take care, and cheers!
The victorious skipper of Jaffna Kings, Charith Asalanka says they were aiming over 180-190 as the outfield is good and the pitch was good as well. Says that they needed to play good-quality strokes while batting and they managed to do that well. Adds that they need a bit more energy in the field and that's all they need to improve at this point.
Mohammad Nabi the skipper of Dambulla Sixers says that it has been tough for them so far. He adds that the overs in the end cost them and anything above 200 was always going to be difficult. Adds that it was only the small mistakes that cost them.
Pathum Nissanka is the Player of the Match for his knock of 88 runs. He says that he is unfazed by not reaching the three-figure mark as the team comes first. Credits Avishka Fernando for his strokeplay and the way they both batted in the second half of their innings.
Stay tuned for the Presentations...
Earlier in the game, the Jaffna Kings displayed exceptional batting performance, with Avishka Fernando and Pathum Nissanka forming a crucial partnership that propelled them to a total of 218/5, the highest in the tournament. Despite early setbacks, they recovered well with aggressive batting. Azmatullah Omarzai's late fireworks, including back-to-back sixes, added vital runs in the final over. Avishka Fernando's knock of 57 and Pathum Nissanka's 88 were key contributions. The Dambulla Sixers struggled with their bowling and failed to break the timely partnerships, ultimately conceding a challenging total.
A late surge in the last 5 overs with the bat from Jaffna Kings followed by a clinical bowling performance from their bowlers, helps Jaffna Kings win this by 30 runs. And with this win, the Jaffna Kings make their way to the top of the league table! It was certainly a good display of bowling from them. They just kept on picking timely wickets and never let the Dambulla Sixers settle in the game. Reeza Hendricks, though provided a slight hiccup for them but it didn't bother them much as the required rate kept on climbing for the opposition side. Asitha Fernando and Tabraiz Shamsi stood out by claiming two wickets each while maintaining impressive economy rates. Azmatullah Omarzai picked one but was very expensive for his likes. That 19th over where the Jaffna Kings took down Nuwan Thushara for 32 runs has cost Dambulla Sixers this game.
Dambulla Sixers now lose three games in a row. They will be wretched with their efforts, especially with the ball. Coming to chase a mammoth total, was always going to be a difficult task for them. Reeza Hendricks kept on batting at one end but the other batters failed to contain with him. They kept on losing wickets whenever a good partnership was brewing for them. The partnership between Reeza Hendricks and Mark Chapman of 47 for the 4th wicket was their best attempt as a batting unit. Once Mark Chapman was out, things kept on getting downhill for them. Reeza Hendricks played a lone hand of 80 runs and he was also the top scorer for them.

Fuller on the stumps, Reeza Hendricks tucks this away towards mid-wicket for one.
End of the Powerplay. Dambulla Sixers would be happy with the start they have got. Reeza Hendricks has walked into this Dambulla Sixers side and started timing the ball like he was never out of touch. Nuwanidu Fernando too has looked promising and the side would be hoping these two take the game deep for them. For Jaffna Kings, the wicket of Reeza Hendricks in particular is much needed at this point to attain a distance between them and the opposition. What a contrast this has been. From a struggling World Cup campaign in the Caribbean, to a sizzling start in the Lanka Premier League. From one island nation to another.

Asitha Fernando To Nuwanidu Fernando
CLOSE CALL! On a length angling into the batter, Nuwanidu Fernando looks to tuck on the leg but misses. The ball goes on and strikes his pads. Asitha Fernando started to celebrate like he had the number of Nuwanidu Fernando but the umpire was unmoved. Charith Asalanka asks for a review for LBW and the Ball Tracker suggested an umpire's call on the ball hitting the stumps. A leg bye taken.
Wow, what an appeal this is by Asitha Fernando. It was all going the way of Asitha Fernando and Jaffna Kings till the last detail that suggested it is an umpire's call on the ball clipping the stumps.
The struggling Danushka Gunathilaka departs and he is replaced by Nuwanidu Fernando.

DROPPED! Peach! Back of a length, shaping away from the batter. Danushka Gunathilaka looks to block it but gets an outside edge. The keeper dives to his left to take the catch but shells it. The ball squared up the batter and it appeared to the naked eye that Danushka Gunathilaka had edged this. Kusal Mendis made a trigger movement to his right and then had to dive to his left which caused the drop.
Danushka Gunathilaka walks out next.

Asitha Fernando To Kusal Perera OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Asitha Fernando gives Jaffna Kings a breakthrough in his very first over! Touch short and angling away outside off. Kusal Perera slaps it off his toe end as the ball carries straight towards mid off. Rilee Rossouw goes low and completes a smart catch. The umpire goes upstairs to have a look and replays show that Rilee Rossouw had his fingers beneath the ball. Kusal Perera's cameo comes to an end.
Has it carried? Rilee Rossouw is confident that it did. This is closer than we anticipated. The ball was dropping on the fielder and Rilee Rossouw took this being unsighted but his fingers seemed to be underneath the ball when he grabbed this. The third umpire confirms that the catch is taken fairly and signals OUT.
