Right then! That is it from this game. The action continues though as we have another match lined up for you where Colombo Stars will take on Galle Gladiators at 1930 Local (1400 GMT). So switch the tabs and do join us for the same. Until then, Adios!
Thisara Perera, the Jaffna Kings skipper, says that every time they play, it rains so maybe God is helping them. On asked how he knew it would rain, he jokes that they have those weather forecast apps.
Angelo Perera, the Kandy warriors skipper, says that they were sitting pretty till the rain came in. Adds that they wanted to bowl first for this reason and it will be Colombo Stars vs Kandy Warriors now for the final spot in the playoffs.
Shoaib Malik, the Player of the Match, says that he still enjoys the game and he knows that he can still play cricket. Mentions that the league keeps on growing and is becoming bigger and bigger and says that it is growing in the right direction.
Stay tuned for Presentation ...
Kandy Warriors bowlers had a tough task in front of them but credit to them that they chipped in with wickets in the first five overs. But once Thisara Perera came in, it became very difficult for bowlers to keep a check on the scoring rate and it meant that Kandy Warriors were handed another defeat. Jaffna Kings, on the other hand, are looking in red-hot form and backed up a disciplined bowling performance earlier in the day with another strong batting display.
A rain-curtailed game and with the firepower Jaffna Kings have in their lineup they were always going to be favourites. A positive start in the first two overs was followed by a couple of wickets in the next few overs. But the required run-rate was never out of their reach and in the end, the experienced duo of Shoaib Malik and Thisara Perera completed the chase with not much fuss in the end. They win by seven wickets!
