Thanks a lot for joining us- Mohul Bhowmick and Pradeep- for this game. We hope you enjoyed watching Dambulla Aura beat Galle Titans and go on top of the league table. All is not over for the Titans- they can still come back strongly. Until next time, ciao and take care!

Kusal Mendis [Dambulla Aura captain]: Better surfaces will help the tournament. I am not sure what a good score would have been in this game. I am happy with the way the lads performed today. We need to keep doing well and winning games.

Dasun Shanaka [Galle Titans captain]: I expected the wicket to play better, thought it's high scoring and we didn't bat well either and its part and parcel of the game. We expected the surface to help the pacers and then spinners didn't bowl expected. We need to play well in all three departments and it's been a concern, we need to bounce back quickly. As a captain, when you lose, you know you can always come back strongly.

Avishka Fernando is the Player of the Match! Here's what he has to say: Wasn't an easy pitch, he spent time in the middle and tried to accumulate the runs right from the word go.

Dambulla Aura beat Galle Titans by 7 wickets!

Avishka Fernando 70* (49)|  Dushan Hemantha 2-31
Dasun Shanaka 36 (26) | Binura Fernando 1-14

As was expected, Dambulla Aura managed to chase these runs down at a canter and defeat Galle Titans. Openers Avishka Fernando and Kusal Medis laid the groundwork for them while Sadeera Samarawickrama and Dhananjaya de Silva followed it up. 

Opener Fernando played a brilliant knock to remain unbeaten till the end and see his team home. He was assisted well by de Silva in the end. Dambulla Aura go to the top of the table by winning this game. This will give them a lot of confidence. 

Galle Titans, on the other hand, will feel that they should have done much better than they did with the bat in hand. Although they are not quite out of the competition just yet, they need to do a lot of hardwork to progress further. 

Their skipper Dasun Shanaka will rue the fact that their batters got starts but could not go on to convert them into a big score. Although Shakib Al Hasan and Lahiru Kumara tried their best to defend this total, there just were not enough runs on the board.

Dambulla go to the top of the league table by winning this game! Avishka Fernando was brilliant!

17.4 Richard Ngarava to Avishka Fernando, DAMBULLA  AURA THUMP TITANS! That is that, Dambulla Aura with that win go to the top of the table. Back of a length on the fourth stump, Avishka bunted it to backward point and seals the deal. It's a fourth straight loss for Titans and they have lost their way big time here and continue to languish at the bottom of the table!

17.3 Richard Ngarava to Avishka Fernando, FOUR MORE! Scores are level now. All class now from Avishka, back of a length outside the off-stump, he reaches for it and slices it over backward point for yet another boundary.

17.2 Richard Ngarava to Dhananjaya de Silva, back of a length on the fourth stump, DdS hangs back and guides it down to third-man for just one.

Just six more needed now!

17.1 Richard Ngarava to Dhananjaya de Silva, FOUR MORE! This is getting over quickly now. Short and outside the off-stump, DdS stood tall and just helps it over the keeper's head, runs away to third-man for another boundary.

Richard Ngarava [2-0-23-0] is back into the attack.

Dambulla are just ten runs away from victory here! Galle have thrown their lead away.

16.6 Lahiru Kumara to Avishka Fernando, FOUR! SHOT! What a night Avishka is having, sweet timing on it again for another boundary. Length delivery outside the off-stump, Avishka crouches and creams the drive and in the gap, through the covers and finds the ropes.

16.6 Lahiru Kumara to Avishka Fernando, FIVE WIDES! The wheels are coming off now for Titans. Bangs in the short delivery, goes way over the batter's head and so much so that the keeper fails to even get a glove to it, races down to fine-leg ropes for five wides.

That was brilliant from Fernando!

16.5 Lahiru Kumara to Avishka Fernando, SIX! SHOT AND A HALF! My word, what a shot that and is the shot of the match as well. Length delivery outside the off-stump, Avishka clears his front foot and absolutely clobbered it way over deep extra-cover as it came right out of the meat of the bat for a huge maximum!

16.4 Lahiru Kumara to Dhananjaya de Silva, back of a length on the leg-stump, DdS hangs back and clipped it off his hips to deep backward square-leg for another single.

16.3 Lahiru Kumara to Dhananjaya de Silva, back of a length on the off-stump, DdS presses forward to defend it into the off-side for another dot.

16.2 Lahiru Kumara to Avishka Fernando, back of a length on the off-stump, Avishka backed away and slaps it to deep covers for just one.
