Commentary

That would be all from the coverage of this game of LPLT20. We hope to have your company for all the cricket coverage from around the glove. Goodbye for now.

A lopsided match. How well have Colombo Stars responded on the return of their skipper Angelo Mathews. They bowled well to restrict Galle Gladiators in the chase. Kusal Mendis scored a brave 60 and was the lone fighting effort in the Galle Gladiators' chase. The wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals for the Gladiator and as a result, they were skittled out for a mere 121. The Colombo Stars bowlers were exceptional. Naveen-ul-Haq bowled a fine spell of 3/27. Ravi Rampaul and Seekkuge Prasanna had two wickets each.

Earlier, Colombo Stars ended with a healthy 162/7. Colombo Stars' captain Angelo Mathews won the toss and opted to bat first. Mathews on his comeback into the side after an injury layoff promoted himself at the top of the batting order, opening the innings alongside Pathum Nissanka. The Stars has a slow start as Nissanka was dismissed early and Mathews failed to connect the first few deliveries of his innings. But once Mathews got the hang of the things, Mathews made the opportunity count as he blasted 73 from 57 balls, completing his 10th T20 fifty. The wickets kept tumbling from the other end. But lower down the order, Dinesh Chandimal continued from where he left last night and played an entertaining cameo of 36 from mere 14 deliveries. It was a tough night for the Galle Gladiators' bowlers. The two bowlers who stood out were Samit Patel and Dhananjaya Lakshan. Both bowlers picked two wickets each.

Right! We are ready for the post-match presentation.

Dinesh Chandimal is the Player of the Match.
Chandimal: Over the moon about my performance. I was left out of the first LPL draft. So happy and thankful for the team to have trust on me. I went back to the old Chandi. A bit of mindset from me. I will donate my prize money for the charity.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa (Galle Gladiators captain): It was a 140-run wicket. We gave some 20 runs extra. The due is an excuse. We did not bowl well. We have to adapt to the conditions. Chandimal played well today.

Angelo Mathews (Colombo Stars captain): It was brilliant. It was a good team effort. I am still not 100 percent hence I could not run well in between the wickets. I was able to run a little bit.

Colombo Stars complete a rout over Galle Gladiators. The Stars win by 41 runs to notch only their second win of the season. They are still a far way off from qualifying for the knockouts but this win could boost their confidence. The Stars move to the fourth spot on the points table leaving Kandy Warriors behind on the fifth spot. The return of Angelo Mathews has surely made a lot of difference in the side. Stick around as we shall bring to you the quotes from the post-match presentation.

17.0

16.5 Naveen-ul-Haq to Mohammad Amir, OUT! CLEANS HIM UP AND SEALS THE GAME! Full and slanting across middle and leg at full pace, Amir clears his front leg and swings across the line but to no avail. 'You miss, I hit' and that will be all for this contest. Colombo Stars beat Galle Gladiators by 41 runs!

Amir b Naveen-ul-Haq 1(4)

16.4 Naveen-ul-Haq to Mohammad Amir, sharp bouncer as he takes pace off and slants it across the batter just outside leg, Amir shapes for a pull but he fails to get bat on ball.

16.3 Naveen-ul-Haq to Nuwan Thushara, slower delivery on a length just outside off, Thushara makes room and pushes his bat away from his body with an open face towards point as he gets off the mark.

16.2 Naveen-ul-Haq to Mohammad Amir, backs away well outside leg before punching this good length delivery through mid-off from his crease as he picks up a single.

Nuwan Thushara, RHB, is the last man in for the Gladiators.

It is wicket no. 100 for Naveen-ul-Haq in T20 cricket.

16.1 Naveen-ul-Haq to Noor Ahmad, OUT! THERE GOES ANOTHER! Length delivery outside off, Noor stands his ground and creams it over point aiming to clear the sweeper in the deep. Nissanka in the deep back pedals though and pouches it reverse-cupped inside the ropes to give Naveen his 100th T20 wicket! Nine down now the Gladiators!

Noor Ahmad c Nissanka b Naveen-ul-Haq 0(2)

A wicket and only four runs from the over. Mere formalities remain now for Colombo Stars. This match has been a one-sided affair.

15.6 Ravi Rampaul to Mohammad Amir, slower delivery on a good length at the stumps, Amir makes room and flays it with an open bat face towards short extra cover.

Mohammad Amir, LHB, walks out to bat

15.5 Ravi Rampaul to Dhananjaya Lakshan, OUT! BRILLIANCE FROM NAVEEN! Excellent presence of mind there! Dug short at pace as it lands just outside off, Lakshan bludgeons it with a horizontal bat aiming to clear wide long on where Naveen times his leap to perfection and pouches it. He realizes that he is about to go off balance though and throws it up before hopping over the ropes and hopping back to complete the formalities. The TV umpire has a look and it is as clean as it can get. Top work that!

Dhananjaya Lakshan c Naveen-ul-Haq b Rampaul 6(8)

15.4 Ravi Rampaul to Dhananjaya Lakshan, FALLS SAFE! Pace off again on a good length on off, Lakshan hangs back and clogs it a mile into the night sky before the bowler turns around and runs after it into the direction of mid-on. The ball drops over him though as the batters race back for the second.

15.3 Ravi Rampaul to Dhananjaya Lakshan, BEATEN! Yet another deceptive slower one on a length, just outside the line of off and it lobs over to the keeper as Lakshan swings across the line to no avail.

15.2 Ravi Rampaul to Dhananjaya Lakshan, slower delivery on a short length, Lakshan fetches a hack over mid-on and into the deep before the batters hare back for the second run.
