- BATSMENRB4s6sSR15.4 slides down leg and Nissanka misses the sweep. Dickwella instantaneously begins an animated appeal, but the umpire is having none of it. But the Stars review, and yes it does show some glove on the way through.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.6 Gone! Full ball on middle and off and it's flicked to Hasaranga at mid-on. He is quick to pick it up and throws the stumps down and finds him short at the non-striker's end. Early breakthrough for the Falcons 6/18.6 Hasaranga has his fourth! Tossed up on leg-stump and Mathews looked for the slog sweep. Doesn't connect cleanly and Fabian Allen takes a simple catch at deep square 50/71.3 Edged and gone! At a length outside off, just moving away from him and Asalanka went poking and gets a thin edge to the keeper. Stars are two down early 8/22.5 In the air and taken! Back of a length outside off again, Bopara looks to hit it over cover but is beaten by the bounce. Ball hangs high in the air and Hasaranga runs to his left from mid-off to take a good catch 11/36.3 Beauty! Tossed up just outside off, inviting Chandimal into the drive, but he can't read the googly and is cleaned up 39/46.4 Gone first ball! Hasaranga pitches it up full and it goes past Howell's attempted shot and pings him on the pad. Hasaranga is up in appeal and the umpire, after a wait, raises his finger. Howell reviews, and it's umpire's call on wickets, with replays showing it was just clipping leg-stump. 39/56.5 He's got him! Another googly as Prasanna looked to defend, but it hit him bang in front. Hasaranga has the first hat-trick in LPL history! Prasanna reviews, but in vain as it's three reds on the DRS 39/614.2 Another short one, and this one grabs him a scalp! It was a certifiable long hop from Allen, but this pull from Drakes goes high but only as far as the man at deep square leg 90/913.4 Chops this on, as Daniel gets his first! This was pushed through outside off, on a length. Paul looks to get back and cut this square but only manages a thick under edge 84/814.3 And that is that! This was pushed through flat on a length, and Lakmal is caught in the crease. He's rapped on the back pad, and the finger goes up. This looks pretty straight forward, but Stars have a review and they use it. But the decision is upheld as it's umpire's call on the wickets, as this is found the be clipping the top of leg stump. And with that, the Falcons complete a dominant 109 run win! 90/10Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL90 all out (14.3 Overs, RR: 6.2)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Niroshan Dickwella, 0.6 ov), 2-8 (Charith Asalanka, 1.3 ov), 3-11 (Ravi Bopara, 2.5 ov), 4-39 (Dinesh Chandimal, 6.3 ov), 5-39 (Benny Howell, 6.4 ov), 6-39 (Seekkuge Prasanna, 6.5 ov), 7-50 (Angelo Mathews, 8.6 ov), 8-84 (Keemo Paul, 13.4 ov), 9-90 (Dominic Drakes, 14.2 ov), 10-90 (Suranga Lakmal, 14.3 ov)
