4:46pm A solid effort by the Falcons to get up to 175, given where they were after the powerplay. Fletcher, who was dropped on 2, made his life count and gave the Falcons the impetus through the early part of the middle overs. Once he was dismissed, captain Hasaranga took matters into his own hands. He played the situation at the start and worked the ones and twos, before unleashing at the death. In all, the Falcons 67 in the last five overs, which took them well above the 160-run mark.

Galle, for large parts, were good. Their powerplay bowling, especially, was pretty tidy. However, they were left ruing dropping Fletcher. Zahoor was perhaps the pick of the bowlers, while Udana also did well for his three scalps. Chasing 176 might not be an easy task on a pitch that has had just enough for the bowlers but Galle will hope they have enough firepower to get past the line. Join us in a bit for the chase!

Pretorius to Hasaranga, FOUR, four to finish the innings! Full and wide again, and Hasaranga is expecting it. Shuffles across, access the leg side and smears it past square leg!

Pretorius to Hasaranga, SIX, goes all the way now! Full and wide outside off. Hasaranga moves across his stumps this time and then clubs it over the wide long on fence!
