That is it from the coverage of this game! We have another double-header coming up on 7th December 2021. The first game will be played between Jaffna Kings and Dambulla Giants which will begin at 3 pm Local (9.30 am GMT). The second game of the day sees a tussle between Kandy Warriors and Galle Gladiators and that game will commence at 7.30 pm Local (2 pm GMT). We look forward to your company for these games. Cheers!
Dhananjaya de Silva, the skipper of Colombo Stars is the Player of the Match. He says that it was tough from the beginning. Adds that it was decided that he will start with the ball and feels that everyone bowled well and chipped in at crucial times. Tells that they have to get their combination right going forward and also informs that Angelo Mathews would be back for the next game.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa, the skipper of Galle Gladiators, says that they aimed for a target of 140+ but they didn't get the start they wanted and fell 20 odd runs short. Mentions that he is very proud of his bowlers and credits Noor Ahmed for his bowling. Tells that it is always good to learn from the mistakes and will come back strongly in the next match.
Stay tuned for the Presentation...
Galle Gladiators would be pleased with their bowling effort as they gave it their all and did not allow the Colombo Stars to run away with the game early on, especially in the Powerplay. Their spinners were brilliant yet again and it was Mohammad Hafeez who once again led from the front. All the bowlers were very economical, apart from Nuwan Thushara and they hardly gave away any freebies to Stars' batters. Bhanuka Rajapaksa would be disappointed with this loss but he will be proud of the fight his boys have shown in the field.
Colombo Starts did not get off to a great start as they lost their openers cheaply and were put under pressure right at the start. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals and it was their skipper Dhananjaya de Silva who steadied the ship along with Dinesh Chandimal. Once the skipper perished, it was their experienced campaigner, David Wiese who took the attack to the opposition and hit a few lusty blows before getting out. In the end, it was Dinesh Chandimal who kept his calm and managed to take his team over the line.
It wasn't the most convincing of chases but Colombo Stars get a win under their belt nonetheless. They needed just 117 runs to win from 20 overs but they were made to work hard for it. Galle Gladiators' bowlers should be mighty proud with their effort as they were able to make a match out of it.

Nuwan Thushara To Dinesh Chandimal
FOUR! That should seal the deal for Colombo Stars! Short and on middle. Dinesh Chandimal looks to pull but takes his eyes off. The ball goes off the top edge over the keeper's head for a boundary. Just one hit away now from winning this match.

TWO WIDES! A full toss, way down the leg side. Seekkuge Prasanna leaves it alone. The keeper does well to dive to his left and stop the ball. The batters sneak a single as well.

Pulina Tharanga To David Wiese OUT!
OUT! TAKEN Is this another twist in the tale? Pulina Tharanga bowls it full and outside off. David Wiese thumps the ball over covers but hits it straight down the throat of the deep cover fielder where Noor Ahmad takes a good low catch. The partnership has been broken and this game could go either way from here on.
Strategic Time-Out! Colombo Stars are cruising along nicely now and they would hope that Dinesh Chandimal and David Wiese would take them over the line without any further hiccups.
