Player of the Match

Rahmanullah Gurbaz

69(40)

Right then, that is all we have from this game. Next up, we have the last game of the league stage and it will be a clash between Galle Gladiators and Dambulla Aura. That game will start at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) and it will help us nail down the final spot for the playoffs. So, do join us for the same. Till then, it’s goodbye and cheers!

Thisara Perera, the captain of Jaffna Kings says that they have already used 20 players in the league stages but know which XI to go with. Adds that it is also a bit tough to bench players who have done well. Adds that they try to play normally and take it one match at a time.

Niroshan Dickwella, the skipper of Colombo Stars says that when they have batted first, they have not clicked as a unit and they are doing good while chasing. Mentions that they need to step up as a batting group and says that while batting first, they have not been able to realise what is a good score. Feels that 150 would have been a challenging score on this pitch. Informs that their squad is injury free and again mentions that they need to click as a batting group and if they do that, they will do well in the playoffs.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (69 off 40 balls) is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He starts by joking that he was in a hurry due to lack of sleep. Adds that the wicket was not easy and he just took a bit of time before going hard at it. Mentions that a couple of years ago he wasn't consistent enough but tries to work hard and do well for whichever team he plays for.

Time for the Presentation...

Colombo Stars were without their regular skipper Angelo Mathews in this game and he would not be too pleased with how his team went about its business in this game. They were put under the pump right from the start and though they got near 130 in the end with some decent contributions from Dominic Drakes and Nishan Madushka but it was always going to be a tough task against a strong Jaffna Kings batting line-up. They needed early wickets with the ball but that was not the case. Instead, they were just blown away by the opening stand of 105 and have crumbled to a big defeat here.

Jaffna did most of the things right with the ball as they picked four wickets in the Powerplay and with persistent good bowling throughout the innings, they restricted Stars to a below-par total. Every bowler that was introduced got into the wickets column and then with the bat Gurbaz just came out all guns blazing as he usually does and Kings raced to 65/0 at the end of the Powerplay. It was a mere formality after that and though Gurbaz departed after a fantastic knock of 69 off 40 balls, Kings managed to reach the target with 25 balls to spare as Avishka Fernando stayed unbeaten on 40.

A dominating win for Jaffna Kings and once again they have shown why they are one of the best teams in this tournament. A complete performance and they would be upbeat about their chances in Qualifier 1 now. Colombo Stars, on the other hand, are going to play the Eliminator but they need to be far better than this if they want to go further ahead in the competition.

Nicely played and that's good running as well.

Dominic Drakes To Shoaib Malik OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! Soft dismissal and Shoaib Malik will not be pleased with that. Dominic Drakes serves a half-volley on the pads and this is angling down as well. Malik picks it up and clips it aerially but doesn't quite get the timing right. The ball flies down to the right of the man at deep square leg and Kasun Rajitha takes a good running catch as well. Another slim outing with the bat for Malik.

There is a huge appeal and after a while, the finger is raised. Gurbaz does review it but there's nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and Gurbaz departs after a sensational knock.

11.4

Jeffrey Vandersay To Rahmanullah Gurbaz

FOUR! Tossed up on off stump, Rahmanullah Gurbaz gets in position to sweep and does so powerfully as well. The ball races away into the square leg fence.
