Alright, folks! That is it from the coverage of this game! The Qualifier 2 will be played on Tuesday, 21st December, 2021 at Hambantota between Dambulla Giants and Jaffna Kings. That game will begin at 7.30 pm local time (2 pm GMT). We look forward to your company for this game! Cheers!
Bhanuka Rajapaksa, the victorious skipper of Galle Gladiators, says that when you bat on good tracks, it is completely different and credits his batters by saying that they did a great job. Tells that he likes the combination of his side and he does not want to make any changes. Mentions that the credit must go to the bowlers as they held their nerves in such a crucial game.
Thisara Perera, the skipper of Jaffna Kings, says that they gave away 20-25 runs more. Adds that his team players are doing a good job but they will come back stronger in the next game. Mentions that it is difficult to adjust to the good pitches in Hambantota, as compared to the turning wickets at Colombo.
Kusal Mendis is the Player of the Match. He says that this pitch was very different from Colombo and he had a very good partnership with Danushka Gunathilaka. Tells that he did practice very hard, his coaches helped him a lot and is grateful for this opportunity.
Stay tuned for the Presentation...
Well, nothing much to talk about the batting of Jaffna Kings. They lost their opener in Avishka Fernando early but Rahmanullah Gurbaz held one end and ensured that runs kept coming for them. However, he did not get any support from the other end and the Kings kept losing wickets at regular intervals. He was their lone warrior who kept his side in the game but once he perished, it was all over for Jaffna Kings. Although Wanindu Hasaranga played a scintillating cameo at the end, the asking rate kept creeping up for the Kings and that brought wickets for the Galle Gladiators. All in all, it was a disappointing performance from the defending champions and they will need to pull their socks up going into the Qualifier 2!
Galle Gladiators continue their dominance over Jaffna Kings. They were scintillating with the ball as well. They played as the conditions demanded, and used their pacers perfectly. Nuwan Thushara was certainly the pick of the bowlers as he managed to pick a five-wicket haul and demolished Kings' batting lineup. A flawless performance once again, and they are through to the final of the Lanka Premier League 2021.
What a comprehensive win this has been for Galle Gladiators and they have now defeated Jaffna Kings for the third time this season! The Gladiators storm into the final while the Jaffna Kings will have one more chance to redeem themselves against Dambulla Giants in the Qualifier 2.

Nuwan Thushara To Maheesh Theekshana OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! There it is! Nuwan Thushara bags a five-wicket haul and Jaffna Kings are bundled out for 124! Good-length ball, outside off. Maheesh Theekshana looks to go over covers but he only manages a thick outside edge towards the keeper. Kusal Mendis behind the sticks, makes no mistake and Galle Gladiators WIN THE QUALIFIER 1 BY 64 RUNS!

Nuwan Thushara To Wahab Riaz OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! What an outing it has been for Nuwan Thushara! He serves a slower ball, on a length, around off. Wahab Riaz has a wild swing at it but he misses and the ball cannons onto his off pole. Thushara punches the air in delight!
Normally, when things go wrong for you, plenty of questions are asked. One such question that would be asked of the Jaffna Kings would be the leaving out of Jayden Seales. After doing so well in his previous game where he took a 4-fer, it was really surprising to see him being left out. Also sometimes, you want to strengthen your batting firepower and for that, you end up sacrificing someone. Jaffna do like to chase but who knows, if Seales had been playing tonight, Galle might not have got to 188 in the first place.

Anwar Ali To Wanindu Hasaranga
Anwar Ali misses his length, serves a low full toss ball, on the pads. Wanindu Hasaranga pushes it to long off. A single taken.
Strategic Time-Out! Galle Gladiators are bossing this game right now. One just feels that the wicket of Chaturanga de Silva was the last nail in the coffin. The Kings now need a special knock from Wanindu Hasaranga to see them through. It is a very tough ask for Hasaranga though as he is running out of partners as well. The Jaffna Kings have lost 4/39 in the last 5 overs and that has derailed this game completely. Wahab Riaz comes out to have a swing.

In the air..but safe! A slower ball, into the pitch, around middle and leg. Chaturanga de Silva looks to pull but he miscues it and the ball goes in the air towards the deep mid-wicket fielder. It falls just short of the fielder and the batters take a run. 68 runs needed off 30 balls. The Kings need to get a move on here after a couple of quiet overs!

Message sent out. Umar Gul, who is the bowling coach of Galle Gladiators, walks forward from the dugout and yells out a message to Mohammad Amir, who we suspect will go all the way and deliver it to the captain or the bowler. The Gladiators know that they are not out of the woods yet.

Mohammad Hafeez To Wanindu Hasaranga
SIX! WOW! Even better this time! On a length, around middle. Wanindu Hasaranga clears his front leg and sends it sailing way over long on for a massive biggie. This must be annoying Hafeez. His anger over Thushara would have reached boiling point now and even the latter would be feeling dismayed. Who would have thought that a simple misfield could be so costly?

Mohammad Hafeez To Thisara Perera
On a length, around off. Thisara Perera stays back and taps it towards Nuwan Thushara at backward point who fumbles and concedes a run. Hafeez is not happy with Thushara. But I guess, one can excuse the fast bowler. He has just finished a steaming over and hence, was not able to be alert.

Nuwan Thushara To Wanindu Hasaranga
Short in length, outside off. Wanindu Hasaranga makes room and swings hard at it but fails to get any connection on that.
Interesting point from Russel Arnold on air. He opines that as per him, Jaffna Kings seem to be only thinking about power. Hence, they get either boundaries or nothing. To this, Aamer Sohail agrees and adds, when Galle Gladiators were batting, Kusal Mendis was the difference in this case. He did clear the fence with ease but even when the ball was not reaching the fence, he was quick between the wickets and running plenty of twos. T20 cricket is not just bashing.

Nuwan Thushara To Rahmanullah Gurbaz OUT!
OUT! Nuwan Thushara gets another one! It is the big-fish, Rahmanullah Gurbaz who walks back to the hut. Nuwan Thushara takes the pace off, very full and outside off. Rahmanullah Gurbaz looks to heave it over the leg side but fails to get the middle of the bat and miscues his short to the man at deep mid-wicket. Sahan Arachchige there, runs forward, settles under it and takes a good catch. Jaffna Kings are in deep trouble now as they lose their set batter in Gurbaz.

Isuru Udana To Rahmanullah Gurbaz
Slower ball, full in length, outside off. Rahmanullah Gurbaz lunges and pushes it towards point. A quick single taken. This might be the plan from Udana. He might be a tad quicker to Malik, but to Gurbaz, he will be mostly bowling slower balls and keep the length short of full, away from Gurbaz' hitting zone.
Strategic Time-Out! The game is pretty evenly poised right now and it could go either way from here. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been around for a while and we could witness his explosive batting abilities now. Galle Gladiators will need to make sure that Gurbaz doesn't take the game away from them.

Pulina Tharanga To Rahmanullah Gurbaz OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! Ashen Bandara's struggle comes to an end! But what an unfortunate way to get out! Having said that, good presence of mind from the bowler! This was a full ball, around off. Rahmanullah Gurbaz pushes it back to the bowler. Tharanga collects the ball cleanly and just back-flicks it towards the stumps at his end. He scores a direct hit and Bandara is found short of his crease. Galle Gladiators appeal and the umpire sends the decision upstairs. The TV umpire confirms that Bandara is short of his crease and has to walk back to the hut. A body blow for Kings!
Is that a run-out? Yes, that is! The replay rolls in and shows that Ashen Bandara is short of his crease and he has to walk back.

Samit Patel To Ashen Bandara
BEATEN! What happened there? Turn and bounce! Did someone say that spin has not made its presence felt? Flighted, slower through the air, around off, Ashen Bandara lunged to defend but missed. The ball dipped onto him, after looping in the air and then bounced, to spin past the outside edge, as Bandara tried his best to get away from the line. Patel was glaring at the batsman while umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge was all smiles. However, skipper Bhanuka Rajapaksa was interested in the caught behind. He asked the bowler and keeper and claimed to have heard a noise, which then reduced to a query. However, on not getting enough support, he dropped the idea of the review. Nothing in the replays.

Samit Patel is brought back into the attack now. Just get a feeling that the Kings might target him. Spin has not quite made its presence felt in Hambantota, after running riot in Colombo. Especially watch out for Gurbaz, who is excellent against spin.

Mohammad Amir To Avishka Fernando
SIX! WOW! What a way to start off the chase! Amir starts with a full ball, on middle. Avishka Fernando whips it way over the deep mid-wicket region for a biggie. Fernando and Jaffna Kings are making a statement straightaway! Massive discussion after that shot. As many as three people are right in the ear of Amir. Meanwhile, the umpires are waiting for the ball to be returned to sanitize the same. Oh wait. It has gone horrendously out of shape. Just the one hit and gone! Did not even look like a powerful hit. Getting a replacement ball now, which is as good as new.
