That will be all from this ECS Cyprus game from Group B. The next one is coming up in a few minutes from now so do switch tabs and follow us there friends. This is the pair of Rajarshi and Bidipto saying good bye. Keep following Sportskeeda!
This was a tremendous defence from Sri Lankan Lions in the last over to get their second win of the day! Roshan Siriwardana need to defend 11 runs, he gave away 9 and won his team the match! That too, against a dangerous hitter of the ball in Managala Gunasekara!
Black Caps kept themselves in the hunt all the time and did not let the asking rate climb too high at any stage. There were some noteworthy contributions from as many as 5 batters but none of them could go on and get a 50. However, the cameo from Tejwinder Singh threatened to take the game away from the bowling side then and there.
With the ball, none of the bowlers gave more than 15 RPO and kept chipping away with wickets. They did bowl a few wides too many and were sloppy at times in the field, but on the whole, did a fine job in restricting a gun batting line-up!
So, with this win, Sri Lankan Lions register 4 points from 2 matches! Black Caps have to wait a bit longer to get on the board.

9.6 Roshan Siriwardana to Managala Gunasekara, SIX! Doesn't matter, the Sri Lankan Lions take the game by 1 run! This was full outside off stump, Gunasekara got right under the ball and thumped it over the ropes at long off! Too little, too late, as it turns out!
Last ball to go, 8 runs to get! What a last over this has been from Roshan!
9.5 Roshan Siriwardana to Tajinder Kumar, full and straight, Tajinder looked to play this one over cover but inside edged it towards deep mid wicket. Just a single
9.4 Roshan Siriwardana to Managala Gunasekara, DROPPED! This was full and there to be smashed, Gunasekara looked to heave the ball towards deep mid wicket, got more height than distance, the man out there ran across, got under the ball but let it through! Just a single, and Gunasekara is off strike!
9.3 Roshan Siriwardana to Managala Gunasekara, full, outside off stump close to the blockhole once again, Gunasekara had a swing at it but missed!
9.2 Roshan Siriwardana to Managala Gunasekara, full and outside off stump, Gunasekara looked to smash it over cover but missed!
9.2 Roshan Siriwardana to Managala Gunasekara, wide, the leg stump yorker again but well down the leg side this time
9.1 Roshan Siriwardana to Managala Gunasekara, full, right in the blockhole, Gunasekara looked to smash it away but inside edged it onto the pads
Roshan Siriwardana [1.0-0-12-1] comes back into the attack.
Black Caps need Gunasekara to power a couple of sixes here! The kind of hitter he is, he can easily muscle those out of the park twice! He must back himself to do so. 11 runs to get off 6 balls.
