... TIME FOR THE PRESENTATIONS ...
Earlier in the day, Kandy Falcons were invited to bat first and got off to a flying start. Andre Fletcher and Dinesh Chandimal laid a solid foundation with a 54-run partnership for the opening wicket. Chandimal was particularly aggressive, scoring a rapid 32 off just 14 balls before being dismissed. However, the middle order faltered, with Mohammad Haris and Kamindu Mendis failing to make an impact. Andre Fletcher anchored the innings, scoring a valuable 69 runs and reaching his fifty in style. Angelo Mathews provided support with 29 runs, but a sudden collapse saw Kandy lose three wickets in as many balls, thanks to a brilliant spell from Prabath Jayasuriya, who took two wickets in his last over. Ramesh Mendis then played a crucial cameo, scoring 28 off 14 balls, which helped Kandy cross the 180-run mark. Prabath Jayasuriya was the star with the ball for Galle Marvels, finishing with three wickets. Dwaine Pretorius also chipped in with two wickets, while Isuru Udana, Maheesh Theekshana, and Kavindu Nadeeshan each took one. This win cements Galle Marvels' position as a formidable team in the tournament, while Kandy Falcons will need to reassess their strategies moving forward. The Galle camp will be buoyed by this dominant performance and look to carry this momentum into their upcoming matches. Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony.
In pursuit of 187, Galle Marvels got off to a sensational start. Openers Niroshan Dickwella and Alex Hales attacked from the beginning, putting up a 76-run partnership. Dickwella scored a brisk 25 before being dismissed by his opposite number, Wanindu Hasaranga. Alex Hales, undeterred, continued to build the innings with Tim Seifert. However, Hasaranga's introduction of Andre Fletcher into the attack paid off as Fletcher managed to trap Seifert for 16, breaking the budding partnership. Despite the fall of Seifert, Alex Hales continued to dominate, ensuring Galle Marvels stayed ahead of the required rate. His unbeaten innings, supported by strong performances from the middle order, guided Galle Marvels to a convincing victory.
Well then, the Galle Marvels have sealed the game comfortably with 4 balls remaining, thanks to an unbeaten brilliance by Alex Hales who opened the batting and finished on 86 runs off 55 balls and along with him, the batter who came in and finished it off for his team, Bhanuka Rajapaksa scoring a not out 46 off just 26 balls. Kandy Falcons were in the game till the 12th over but this pair took the game away from them in no time. What a game of cricket. A comprehensive victory for Galle Marvels as they thumped Kandy Falcons by 8 wickets with 4 balls to spare. Kandy Falcons, despite setting a challenging target of 187, could not defend it as their bowlers leaked runs at regular intervals.

Andre Fletcher To Bhanuka Rajapaksa
Desperate review! Fletcher darts one fuller and quicker down the leg side, Bhanuka Rajapaksa looks to flick but misses. The keeper spills it too and they run a single. Wide signaled. The bowler though, feels the batter has clipped this and convinces his skipper for a review. Replays show that the ball had brushed off the pads of Rajapaksa and the decision of the wide is overturned. The Falcons lose a review but save a run, though one feels it was more to slow the game down.

Andre Fletcher To Tim Seifert OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Andre Fletcher cannot do anything wrong today! Gets the breakthrough for his team. Brilliant change by Wanindu Hasaranga as he just tried something out of the ordinary. Normally, the Spiceman does not bowl except maybe for the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash under Glenn Maxwell's captaincy. And it has worked wonders this time here. Fletcher pitches the ball up on the stumps and invites Tim Seifert for a big shot. Seifert responds and slogs the ball but gets no timing on it. Finds Kamindu Mendis at deep mid-wicket who uses the reverse cup to take a comfortable catch.

Dasun Shanaka ran to his left from long off, dove to his left at full stretch and stopped the ball from crossing the boundary. The umpires wanted having a look at this as it appears that Dasun Shanaka has touched the ropes but has he done that with the ball in his hands is the question. The replays show the ball was in contact with the fielder as his foot was in contact with the boundary ropes. Four is the signal by the umpire.

Galle Marvels have gone off to a flyer thanks to Alex Hales and the skipper Niroshan Dickwella who put up 76 in 7 overs for their side. Kandy Falcons have been wayward with the new ball but have just taken the first wicket of the innings. Will this wicket bring in another? Let's see what happens after the break.

Kasun Rajitha To Niroshan Dickwella
DROPPED! A life for Dickwella. On the pads from Kasun Rajitha, Dickwella swings the bat hard and gets it going. However, to his dismay, he hits it straight to Shoriful Islam at fine leg. That should have been gobbled but there is more to add to the horrors. This time it is for the fielding side, as Shoriful fumbles the ball down. A comedy of errors, at the end of which, Dikka is the one smiling.
