Commentary

That's it for this game everyone!! We hope that you enjoyed this live coverage. Stay tuned on Sportskeeda for all the live cricketing updates from around the world. This is Navjeevan and alongside me, Pragadeesh signing off, till next time take care and stay safe!!

With that, both the teams will share a point and that means, the Gladiators will continue to remain at the top while the Giants take the second spot. The Kings are to play next and if the rain stops, they now have a chance to leap frog over both the Giants and the Gladiators to take the top spot.

The Gladiators seemed to had a decent start in the first over as Kusal found the boundaries in the first over. However, just after that over rain returned and this time it stayed on and is still on.

Just as we were entering the death overs, rain made its presence felt and that halted the proceedings. The delay of proceedings played in favor of the Giants as once the rain stopped the play resumed and Shanaka and Mendis went ballistic as they found boundaries. Bit of fireworks from them towards the end helped the Giants post a competitive total of 159 runs.

Dickwella tried to stick around for a while but decided to accelerate and lost his wicket. After that, the wickets just kept tumbling for the Giants at regular intervals and the Gladiators were able to keep things under control as the scoring rate was just around 7 per over.

Well, that was quite an interesting contest for however long it lasted. The Giants after choosing to bat first had a fine start as Salt once again got them away with boundaries. He was provided a life as well as Patel dropped him in first over. However, he could not stay around for long.

UPDATE 18:30 IST, Local Time: The match has been called off due to rain. This rain was rather persistent the second time and in the end, had its say as well.

UPDATE 18:15 IST, Local Time: Well the downpour is insane and the chance of finding a winner from this contest looks tough as time continues to fade away! This could affect the second game which was scheduled to start at 19:30 as well.

UPDATE 17:29 IST, Local Time: Oh no! This is really infuriating now as the rain returns and the covers are back on.

1.2 Tharindu Ratnayake to Kusal Mendis, tossed on the length and on the stumps, Mendis rocks back and ramps that away over point and batters take a couple

1.1 Tharindu Ratnayake to Danushka Gunathilaka, tossed on the length and outside off, Danushka cuts that away to short third and takes one

Spin from the other end. Tharindu Ratnayake comes into the attack

It's a fast aggressive start from the Gladiators. Kusal Mendis took on Nuwan Pradeep as 15 runs coming off it.
