That is it from this game. There is one more game to come before the Kandy leg of the tournament comes to a close and that game is between Colombo Stars and Dambulla Aura. You can simply switch tabs and catch the build-up to that game which starts at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). Cheers!
The skipper of Kandy Falcons, Wanindu Hasaranga says they are playing very good cricket with the bowlers doing their job and batters also contributing. Claims that they have good batters towards the end and they can hit the ball hard. Adds that he wants to bat till the 14th and 15th over so that they can play their natural game. Credits Carlos Brathwaite and says he is very experienced and has played a lot of T20 cricket. Explains that he bowls good lengths and that is what brings him success.
Thisara Perera, the captain of Jaffna Kings mentions that winning or losing is all a part of the game. Explains that there was a good stage when they were bowling but they need to learn from this situation and come back stronger. Informs that he felt 170-180 was achievable on this wicket but they didn’t click otherwise they could have chased down the target.
Fabian Allen is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH! Allen says it was a difficult moment when he went out to bat but he backs himself and he wanted to execute his shots which came off for him today. Claims that they are playing good cricket with the bowlers doing a decent job. Credits Carlos Brathwaite and says he has been outstanding. Ends by saying that even with the ball he wanted to get out there and execute.
The presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Wanindu Hasaranga opted to bat first which didn't turn out to be the best of decisions as they struggled against the spinners in the middle phase. The likes of Dunith Wellalage and Waqar Salamkheil showed good control and didn't let the Kandy batters get away from them. This was however undone as Fabian Allen played an explosive cameo and Chamika Karunaratne too got in a few lusty blows to take the score to 160. It was still a decent enough score to chase down but Kandy Falcons were just superior with the ball and in the field to seal the double over their opponents.
Kandy Falcons will be delighted with that win and boy, they look like a solid team. They recovered well with the bat and took that momentum on the field as the pacers got them a couple of early wickets. Then came a phase where their bowlers seemed to be receiving a bit of stick but Fabian Allen and Wanindu Hasaranga bowled in-tandem and put the Falcons right on top. The man with the golden touch, Carlos Brathwaite then came back to pick up crucial wickets and ended up with a four-fer as well. This all-round bowling performance took Falcons over the line and two points clear at the top as well.
Jaffna Kings did bowl well but conceded a fair bit of extra runs toward the end and that has cost them dearly. With the bat too they had a poor start as Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Dhananjaya de Silva two experienced batters fell early. Then came the stand between Avishka Fernando and Sadeera Samarawickrama that got them back in the game but once Avishka got out, their innings completely derailed. Sadeera Samarawickrama tried to hold fort from one end but ended up getting out himself and in the end, their lower order just didn't have enough to get them over the line.
The battle of the top two sides has proved to be a good contest yet again but this time around, Kandy Falcons have managed to win the game a bit more comfortably than they did last time and have gone outright top of the table. As for Jaffna Kings, their second loss of this campaign comes against the Falcons yet again and they will be mightily disappointed.

TIME-OUT! This has been a brilliant match so far and it seems to be going down to the wire yet again between these two sides. With 41 needed off 24 balls, the batting side has more chance but it is the wickets that are a concern for Jaffna Kings. The Kandy Falcons spinners were simply brilliant with skipper Wanindu Hasaranga leading from the front. Can they pick up the remaining wickets and get the win?

Carlos Brathwaite To Dunith Wellalage OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another one bites the dust and Carlos Brathwaite has turned the game on its head. This is bowled a bit fuller and close to the off stump. Dunith Wellalage tries to hang deep and swing across the line but doesn't move his feet. Wellalage almost falls over as he tries to get bat on it but the ball takes the inside edge and is easily grabbed by Andre Fletcher behind the stumps. 62 needed now off 36 balls as James Fuller walks out to bat.
Jaffna Kings have been under the pump in the middle overs and now are staring in the face of defeat as wickets continue to tumble.

Carlos Brathwaite To Thisara Perera OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Carlos Brathwaite gets the better of Thisara Perera and picks up a huge wicket for his side. Keeps bowling it full and wide and nails the wide yorker on this occasion. Perera looks to jam it up but ends up hitting the ground with his bat. Perera does also seem to get an outside off as the ball deflects on its way to the keeper Andre Fletcher who takes a simple catch. The third umpire checks for the bump ball and finds that there was a clear deflection after the bat hit the ground. Perera has to walk back. Also, Dunith Wellalage walks out to bat now.
Umpires have gone upstairs. They want to check for a bump ball and the soft signal is not out. The umpire is unable to determine if the disturbance on the UltraEdge is due to the ball hitting the bat or if it is the bat grazing against the ground. The reverse camera angles show a clear deflection though as the ball changes direction and the decision has to be reversed.

Wanindu Hasaranga To Shoaib Malik OUT!
OUT! LBW! Wanindu Hasaranga gets the breakthrough for his side and Jaffna Kings lose their fourth wicket. This is dragged down by Hasaranga as he sees Shoaib Malik coming down the track. The ball is bowled flatter as well and it is the googly. Malik is well down the track and looks to block but misses and gets hit on the back leg. There is a huge appeal and the finger is raised. Malik does review it but there's nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking shows the impact as umpire's call and the wickets are hitting. Malik has to walk back.
Wanindu Hasaranga has brought himself back into the attack and will be looking for a breakthrough.

Time-Out! This has been a fast and furious start to the run chase. The two frontline bowlers picked up a wicket each to put Kandy Falcons right on top. Since then though, Avishka Fernando and Sadeera Samarawickrama have found a way not only to occupy the crease but to counter-attack as well with the former taking Chamika Karunaratne to the cleaners. The game is nicely poised at the moment and it will all depend on which side can control the middle phase better.
