Commentary

So, that will be it from this game at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium but do stay on and switch tabs as the second match of the day is coming your way with the coverage starting in less than half an hour. For now, this is the pair of Pradeep and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Dasun Shanaka [Galle Titans captain]: We didn't do basics right on this wicket, both batting and bowling, they stuck to the basics and executed well and credit to Wanindu's innings on that track. Back of a length and they followed that, that's the kind to go on any wicket. Once you lose, lots of concerns and attentions and we didn't do well on the field, we were very sharp in Colombo, looking forward for the games in Colombo now.

Wandindu Hasaranga is the Player of the Match! Here's what he has to say: This wicket is flat as I said in the toss, it's very good to bat and when were bowling, tried to keep it stump to stump. We missed Fakhar and Dushmantha in the first two games, but we bounced back well. One batter should go hard from the first ball, I got the chance to bat early and did well with my basics. Always try to stick with my basics, try to bowl stump to stump, whatever it is and keep bowling dot balls.

B-Love Kandy win by 89 runs with 20 balls to spare!

Wanindu Hasaranga - 64 (27) and 4/17 (3.4)
Lahiru Samarakoon - 36 (25) and 2/31 (4)

Chasing a score in excess of 200 was always going to be difficult and then Galle Titans had to contend with such a well-rounded bowling attack. But because this is a good pitch to bat on, one got the feeling that a solid run chase was on the cards.

In the end, all that happened for Galle was the impressive 7th wicket partnership between Ashan Priyanjan and Lahiru Samarakoon. Everything else went against them.

This is the 4th highest victory in terms of margins. With this, B-Love Kandy move to 6 points and get up to the top of the table with the best net run rate of the tournament at the moment!

Lasith Croospulle and Shakib Al Hasan were the only two other batters to register two-digit scores. Samarakoon top scored with 36 off 25 balls.

Bowling from Kandy was high quality right through! Skipper Wanindu Hasaranga, Nuwan Pradeep, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Dushmantha Chameera were all among the wickets. While Hasaranga took 4, Pradeep returned with 3 wickets and looked in great bowling rhythm. Mujeeb took two early wickets, as usual and Chameera got rid of the dangerous Tim Seifert.

This has been a forgettable leg of the tournament for Galle Titans but a memorable one for the home side, B-Love Kandy!

16.4 Wandindu Hasaranga to Richard Ngarava, OUT! MILES UP IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! It's all over as Kandy thrash Galle Titans to make it three in three here. Length delivery on the off-stump, Ngarava has a wild swing and skies it down to long-off where Chameera finishes a sitter. Hasaranga completes the game with a four-for and a quick fire fifty. No prizes for guessing who'll be the player of the match!

Richard Ngarava c Dushmantha Chameera b Wanindu Hasaranga 0 (1b, 0x4, 0x6)

Richard Ngarava, LHB, is at the crease.

16.3 Wandindu Hasaranga to Tabraiz Shamsi, OUT! LEG-STUMP PEGGED BACK! Shamsi is a goner this time, googly to follow that spun back in with good pace. Shamsi has a big swipe across the line and misses, rattles the leg-stump. The day just keeps getting better and better for the Kandy skipper!

Tabraiz Shamsi b Wanindu Hasaranga 0 (2b, 0x4, 0x6)

16.2 Wandindu Hasaranga to Tabraiz Shamsi, OH DEAR! Shamsi shimmies down the track to have a wild hack across the line, he misses everything and past the keeper, they pick up a couple. Hasaranga wants this to be reviewed, that kisses the top of the back pad and flies off the first slip as shown on replays, that makes it a close call. Ball tracking confirms WICKETS MISSING by not much!

16.1 Wandindu Hasaranga to Kasun Rajitha, tossed up a length delivery on the leg-stump, Rajitha prods forward and clipped it into the on-side for one.

Wanindu Hasaranga [3.0-0-16-2] comes back into the attack.

Tabraiz Shamsi, RHB, is at the crease.

So, after a bit of a face-saving effort from Priyanjan and Samarakoon, Kandy come back with both their wickets in one over! Nuwan Pradeep has been superb today and three wickets is a fair reflection of his sound bowling rhythm.

15.6 Nuwan Pradeep to Ashan Priyanjan, OUT! STRAIGHT TO BACKWARD SQUARE-LEG AND TAKEN! Brilliant over from Pradeep, broke the back of Titans who were looking to play full quote of 20 overs. Short into the batter, rushes Priyanjan who swivels to pull but only to top edged it towards backward square-leg where Arachchige takes a sitter!

Ashan Priyanjan c Sahan Arachchige b Nuwan Pradeep 25 (23b, 2x4, 0x6)

15.6 Nuwan Pradeep to Ashan Priyanjan, WIDE! Oh dear, goes completely wayward. Might've slipped out of the hand and goes way down the leg-side, called a wide.

15.5 Nuwan Pradeep to Kasun Rajitha, OH! Searching for another yorker, comes out as a low full toss. Rajitha covers the line and clipped it to short mid-wicket, takes a sharp single. There's a direct-hit but Rajitha is well in.

Kasun Rajitha, RHB, is at the crease.

15.4 Nuwan Pradeep to Lahiru Samarakoon, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Pradeep gets his man, what a corker from him to remove the dangerous Samarakoon. Searing yorker, zipping through the defenses of Samarakoon who swings across the line and misses, through to rattle the off-stump.

Lahiru Samarakoon b Nuwan Pradeep 36 (25b, 1x4, 4x6)

This now is the highest 7th wicket partnership in the LPL!

15.3 Nuwan Pradeep to Lahiru Samarakoon, SIX! BOOM! What a shot, that is a monstrous hit from Samarakoon. Short into the batter, he took on Pradeep as he stood tall and dispatched it way over deep square-leg and goes miles over deep square-leg for a huge maximum.

15.2 Nuwan Pradeep to Lahiru Samarakoon, overpitched and Pradeep gets away with it. Samarakoon doesn't get the timing right also finds the mid-off fielder.

15.1 Nuwan Pradeep to Ashan Priyanjan, back of a length outside the off-stump, Priyanjan walks across off-stump and whips it to backward square-leg for a quick single.
