Right then, that is all we have from this game. The second game of this Super Sunday will start at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) and we have Kandy Falcons going up against Dambulla Aura in that game. It is a big game for Dambulla Aura, So, just switch tabs and enjoy the coverage of that game. Cheers!
Thisara Perera, the skipper of Jaffna Kings says that he is happy to seal a spot in top 2 and tells that this venue is better that others as their batting has done well at Colombo. Tells that they have more power hitters and they can do even better in the death overs.
Kusal Mendis, the skipper of Galle Gladiators says that they don’t feel the pressure but they need to win their next game. Mentions that if they do the basic right they can win the game. Feels that they give away 15-20 runs extra with the ball and they would like to do better in the next game.
Afif Hossain is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says that he was playing on this surface after a long time. Tells that he was thinking to take time in the middle and teammates helped him a lot. Mentions that pitch was quite good to bat on and adds that on the ball he got out was timed well but he found the fielder. Hopes to do well in the coming games.
Time for the Presentation.
Earlier, in the game, Jaffna Kings got to a par score courtesy of a fifty by Afif Hossain and important cameos by some middle order batters. Wahab Riaz after some disappointing games, stepped up with the ball for Galle Gladiators and picked three wickets while Nuwan Thushara was again among the wickets with two wickets. However, the score of 170 turned out to be enough for Kings in the end as they have notched up a win by 16 runs.
Jaffna Kings bowlers, on the other hand, were able to find timely breakthroughs throughout the chase and credit should also be given to Thisara Perera for the way he rotated his bowlers. Binura Fernando provided early inroads as he picked two wickets in the second over and then Maheesh Theekshana made the Powerplay even more fruitful by picking up a big wicket of Asad Shafiq. Vijayakanth Viyaskanth the young leg-spinner too impressed again and got two timely wickets when the partnerships were building up. The death bowling too was brilliant and overall it was a complete bowling effort from Jaffna Kings.
Galle Gladiators will be disappointed with this batting effort. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals thoughout the chase even though their skipper held one end up and that has cost them the game in the end. Three wickets fell in the Powerplay but Mendis stitched some productive partnerships with Nuwanidu Fernando, Iftikhar Ahmed and Imad Wasim. However, they lost all these three batters at the wrong moment and that build more pressure on Mendis. The wicket of Wasim made things very difficult for Galle Gladiators as Wahab Riaz struggled to rotate the strike and Mendis was stranded at one end which took things away from Galle in the end.
A comfortable win for Jaffna Kings in the end and with this win, they have confirmed their spot in the top 2 of the points table. However, a loss for Galle Gladiators now means that Dambulla Aura are still in with a chance to qualify here and Galle Gladiators have their task cut out in their next game now.

Strategic break. This game is going right down to the wire. It is evenly poised at the moment with the wicket of Imad Wasim now and Galle Gladiators need Mendis to bat till the end here. Jaffna Kings have done well to take wickets at regular intervals and if they get one or two wickets here quickly, they can wrap up this game. Interesting last phase of the game coming up as Wahab Riaz walks out to the middle.

Strategic time out! Kings have started quite well here. They have got three big wickets and if they get one of Kusal Mendis or Nuwanidu Fernando early now the pressure will increase further on Galle Gladiators. Mendis and Nuwanidu Fernando though are looking quite good in the middle and from Galle's point of view they need to continue in the same vain. 109 still needed from 72 balls and we have an interesting chase on the cards.

However, the ball catches the outside edge of his blade and loops up in the air right of short third man where Vijayakanth Viyaskanth runs to his right and dives to take a fine catch.
