Commentary

That's it from this match, the Gladiators get the much needed 2 points as the falcons lose their first. This is Divyansh signing off on behalf of my partner, Mohul. Stay tuned at Sportskeeda for more. Goodbye for now.

Post Match presentation-

Tanuka Dabare (Player of the Match)- He spoke about the partnership and he planned to score around 45-40 runs.

Wanindu Hasaranga, Kandy Falcons skipper: Not much (on whether the toss was important or not), but we got 4 wickets in the first 6 overs and none after that and it resulted in out loss. We gave away too many runs in the middle overs as well.

Kusal Mendis, Galle Gladiators skipper: It was an important toss. Was the same track we used yesterday, so we knew it will be slow. It's a good pitch for slower bowlers and they did the job for us.

Match Summary-

Galle Gladiators win by 12 runs.

Kandy Falcons: 141/7 (20.0)
Ashen Bandara 41* (30) | Chamika Karunaratne 32 (15)
Lakshan Sandakan 2/22 (4.0) | Nuwan Thushara 2/26 (4.0)

The first 6 overs of the first innings belonged to the Falcons, after that it was not a great performance by them. They gave away the pressure they had and that resulted in a total of 150+ for the Gladiators. Then they were off to a poor start with the bat as well.

They lost 5 wickets for just 29 runs and their top and middle order collapsed. With more than 70 runs required off 5 overs, Karunaratne and Bandara tried their level best to chase it down. They almost pulled it off as they lost by just 12 runs.

If Karunaratne would not have given up his wicket in pursuit of a risky double, they could have chased this down.

But brilliant bowling and fielding performance has awarded the Gladiators them their win. Sandakan and Thushara took 2 wickets each, while Wasim took one wicket. 2 run outs in the innings as well.

19.6 Nuwan Pradeep to Ashen Bandara, yorker on middle and leg, Bandara somehow keeps it out and takes a run to square leg. The Gladiators beat the Falcons by 12 runs!

19.5 Nuwan Pradeep to Isuru Udana, full on middle and leg, Udana works it away to long on for a run. 14 needed off 1 ball now!

Just 2 legal deliveries will be enough for the Gladiators now.

19.4 Nuwan Pradeep to Ashen Bandara, yorker on middle and leg, Bandara keeps it out to deep square for a run.

16 required off 3 now. They need atleast 2 sixes to win now.

19.3 Nuwan Pradeep to Isuru Udana, full on off and middle, Udana smashes it to long on for a run.

19.2 Nuwan Pradeep to Ashen Bandara, full on off and middle, Bandara pushes it to long off for a run.

18 runs required of 5 balls now.

19.1 Nuwan Pradeep to Ashen Bandara, SIX! Pitched right in the slot on middle, Bandara gently lofts the ball over long off and sends it for a MAXIMUM! Just 18 runs needed now! Bandara is taking the Falcons close.

They are penalised for having a slow over rate. 5 fielders inside the circle now.

Nuwan Pradeep (2.0-0-23-0) is back.

Karunaratane gives away his wicket after hitting back to back boundaries. They need 24 from the last over.

18.6 Wahab Riaz to Ashen Bandara, yorker on middle and leg, Bandara somehow keeps it out and takes a run to retain strike.

18.5 Wahab Riaz to Ashen Bandara, JUST SHORT! At a length on the stumps, Bandara HEAVES it away to long on and deep midwicket for a couple of runs. The ball lands just short of the fielders. A couple is taken.

18.4 Wahab Riaz to Isuru Udana, full outside off, Udana drives this uppishly to long off for a run.

Isuru Udana, RHB, comes to the crease.
