That's the coverage from this game! The action in the Lanka Premier League continues as we have a double-header lined up for you on December 12, Sunday. First, Jaffna Kings will take on Kandy Warriors at 3 pm local (9.30 am GMT) and then we have Galle Gladiators who will battle out against Colombo Stars at 7.30 pm local (2 pm GMT). Do join us for those games. Until then, cheers!
Dasun Shanaka, the victorious skipper of Dambulla Giants, says it was very tough and credits Chamika Karunaratne for the final over. Mentions, he thought a spinner will end the game but in the end, thought Chamika would do wonders with his slow balls and that worked out. Adds, he will give a couple of players some chance and work out some combinations out before the play-offs.
Dhananjaya de Silva, the skipper of Colombo Stars says that it was an amazing fight by the boys. Mentions that the team has started to click now. Tells that the wickets are falling at regular intervals and that has to stop. Adds that the top order has to start getting some runs.
Tharindu Ratnayake wins the man of the match award for his exceptional spell with the ball. He says, he is really happy about his performance. Mentions, he missed a couple of chances and the pressure came to him but he overcame it.
... Stay tuned for the Presentation ...
Utmost respect to Dinesh Chandimal. Colombo Stars were never into this game until Chandimal came out to bat. Other than him, only Dhananjaya de Silva showed some fight but he too perished away. Dinesh Chandimal had a big task ahead of him and he singlehandedly took them almost over the line, almost because they lost by just one run. Colombo Stars failed to read the spins. They were 38/4 as no one managed to play the opposition. Chandimal was the last hope for the Stars and he fought extremely hard but they came out second best.
Spinners did the job for Dambulla Giants. It was turning sharply and the Giants bowled in probing lines and lengths. Imran Tahir was running all over the ground while Tharindu Ratnayake showed his skills. Both combined to take five wickets and sent half of the side back to the pavilion. It did not stop as Ramesh Mendis continued the process. Hiccups started in the dugout of Dambulla Giants while Dinesh Chandimal was batting and it needed some nerves from Dasun Shanaka to hand the ball to Karunaratne. In the end, he did the job he was asked with some cold nerves.
And breathe folks!! What a game, it was tilting after every ball. It went till the last ball and Dambulla Giants came out victorious. You gotta feel for Dinesh Chandimal for how hard he fought. He was just yards away to clear the fence but credit to Chamika Karunaratne to keep his nerve and bowl the final over. Applause and hugs to Chandimal from the opposition for his fight.

Chamika Karunaratne To Dinesh Chandimal
FOUR! Can you believe it? Dambulla Giants win by the barest of margins. Short of a length, on middle. Dinesh Chandimal stands tall and pulls it towards deep square leg. The ball bounces just in front of the ropes. Perhaps two yards short of taking his side over the line. Got to feel for him. DAMBULLA GIANTS WIN BY 1 RUN!

Chamika Karunaratne To Dinesh Chandimal
Two runs! Fuller, outside off. Dinesh Chandimal lifts it over cover. The long off fielder runs to his left and stops the ball. Two taken. Dinesh Chandimal is back on strike but Colombo Stars will need a maximum of the last delivery. Anything less than that and Dambulla Giants will win the match.

Chamika Karunaratne To Dinesh Chandimal
Length ball, on off. Dinesh Chandimal hits it to deep mid-wicket but doesn't take the run. 8 needed off 2. Can he do it?

Chamika Karunaratne To Dushmantha Chameera OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Plenty of drama already! Short of a length, on middle. Dushmantha Chameera goes for the pull shot. The ball goes off the top edge high up in the air. Chamika Karunaratne calls for it and grabs the catch. The pendulum keeps swinging and it could still be anayone's game as Dinesh Chandimal is still at the crease. 8 needed from 3 now!

Chamika Karunaratne To Dinesh Chandimal
Short of a length, on middle. Dinesh Chandimal miscues his pull to mid-wicket for a single. He wanted a boundary and is frustrated with himself. 8 needed from 4 balls!

Chamika Karunaratne To Dinesh Chandimal
FOUR! Chandimal wants to finish things as quickly as possible. Gamble gone wrong by Dambulla Giants? This was on a length, outside off. Dinesh Chandimal powers it towards deep cover for a boundary. Went like a tracer bullet.
Chamika Karunaratne to bowl the final over. This will also be his first over of the game. A huge gamble by Dambulla Giants.

OUT! CAUGHT! This should help calm the nerves of Dambulla Giants! Short of a length, on middle. Seekkuge Prasanna looks to pull. The ball goes off the top edge towards long on where Philip Salt completes the catch. A small victory for the bowler but Dinesh Chandimal is back on strike.

Nuwan Pradeep To Dinesh Chandimal
SIX! This is the over they were looking for! With spinners troubling them, Colombo Stars had to target the pacer. A full toss, on middle and leg. Dinesh Chandimal gets into the position early and hammers it over deep square leg for a biggie. Are we going to see something special from Colombo Stars? A great over for them. 21 runs off it.
