- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.2 High up in the air and long on this time comes haring down and completes a good catch. Another wrong'un which is ballooned straight up. He holds it back seeing the batter come down the track. Daniel dances down and it through the shot early. Gets it off the toe-end of his bat with long-on securing the catch by running in 60/34.5 Direct hit from Mathews and looks like he has affected a run out! Oh, yes he has. Stunning fielding by the veteran. Another pacy good length ball outside off. He flat-bats to mid-on and runs immediately. But Matthews makes a clean collection and more importantly fires in a hard, flat throw to find Croospulle short. 33/18.3 Holes out to deep backward square leg and Jamal has struck a big blow! That is an excellent catch by Dabare running forward. On a length on the pads. Rajapaksa looks for a hoick, but ends up spooning it straight up. Dabare sprints in quickly and has to put in a dive forward to complete the catch. Jamal is a relieved man after going for plenty in his first over. 50/218.3
Another short one, but this was pace-off. Seifert top edges this and Hasaranga settles under it and takes a good catch, diving forward at midwicket 165/5 17.5 smacked down the ground, they scramble for two but the throw is good. Shakib slides in at the non-striker's and he is just short! Brings to an end a fantastic partnership! 155/4Extras21 (b 1, lb 12, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL180/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Lasith Croospulle, 4.5 ov), 2-50 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 8.3 ov), 3-60 (Shevon Daniel, 9.2 ov), 4-155 (Shakib Al Hasan, 17.5 ov), 5-165 (Tim Seifert, 18.3 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s WD NB Mujeeb Ur Rahman 4 0 25 0 6.25 11 1 1 1 0 I Udana 4 0 30 0 7.50 7 2 1 0 0 Aamer Jamal 3 0 43 1 14.33 6 5 2 5 0 Mohammad Hasnain 4 0 26 1 6.50 13 2 1 1 1 PW Hasaranga 4 0 27 1 6.75 11 2 1 0 0 PHKD Mendis 1 0 16 0 16.00 0 0 2 0 0

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.6 Straight up and mid-off gobbles it up with glee! Length ball outside off. Just couldn't get any timing on it, Dabare. Think that came on a bit slower, and he was through his shot much early. Spoons it straight up and Rajitha moves back a touch and pouches a safe catch. 26/40.3 A wild heave, a wicket! That's what scoreboard pressure can do. Poor shot I must say from such an experienced batter. Length ball outside off that continues to shape away. Chandimal has a massive swipe at it, can only manage a thin edge to Siefert who ain't dropping those, not today. 1/12.2 Flicked straight down the throat of deep backward square leg and Rajitha has two! Mendis swung his bat more times than the runs he scored and eventually falls for 3 off 9. On a length on middle stump, he gets good chunk of it but cannot clear Daniel who had to hardly move. 8/23.4 Chops it on, and now Mathews departs. This is utter carnage. Bangs the short ball outside off, Mathews looks for a half-hearted pull but all he can get is a thick inside-edge that disturbs his off pole. Ngarava celebrates. 16/35.6 Hasaranga departs and Kandy's innings goes from bad to worse! Angles the ball in and cramps the batter for room. He looks to clear mid-on but gets no timing on it whatsoever. Shamsi takes a couple of steps back and completes a comfortable catch, reverse-cupped. 36/514.2 No third time lucky for Bandara! Holes out at long-off! Tossed up by Shamsi and Bandara looks to scythed this over extra cover, but doesn't fine the connection he wants and only goes to Akila at wide long-off 84/88.1 Another one bites the dust and Shakib strikes off his first legal delivery! Asif looks to go downtown but Shakib pulls his length back outside off. Asif is beaten in the flight and can only mistime to long off, who runs in and takes a good catch sliding forward. Kandy six down and staring firmly down the barrel. 46/612.6 Through the gate! Jamal's pained stay at the crease comes to an end, as he plays all around this arm ball from Shakib. Stumps are disturbed. 63/716.5 Shamsi has the last laugh though! Traps Udana plumb in the crease with a leg break that was pushed through on a good length. Udana takes the review, but this looked gone for all money. Yes, it's clattering into middle stump and Kandy are nine down! 97/917.1 And that is that! Hasnain goes for a big heave across the line and top edges a simple catch to extra cover. Galle have won by 83 runs and go top of the table! 97/10Extras19 (b 8, lb 7, w 4)TOTAL97 all out (17.1 Overs, RR: 5.65)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Dinesh Chandimal, 0.3 ov), 2-8 (Kamindu Mendis, 2.2 ov), 3-16 (Angelo Mathews, 3.4 ov), 4-26 (Thanuka Dabare, 4.6 ov), 5-36 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 5.6 ov), 6-46 (Asif Ali, 8.1 ov), 7-63 (Aamer Jamal, 12.6 ov), 8-84 (Ashen Bandara, 14.2 ov), 9-97 (Isuru Udana, 16.5 ov), 10-97 (Mohammad Hasnain, 17.1 ov)
