Commentary

So that ends things for LPL today. Also the last game here in Hambantota. We move to Kandy now and there's a day's break before we go there. So join us day after for all the action. Till then follow all the info and news on this platform. Till next time take care. Escape now!

Angelo Mathews: Was a decent total especially after the bad start. Niroshan was always looking to score and the seamers were brilliant. They bowled exactly what the conditions wanted them to do on this. On one side the breeze was blowing and we wanted the batters to hit to that end. We had a shocker in the last game but it can happen. We are all trying our best.

Dasun Shanaka: We did not start well, 165 was a good total to chase on this wicket. It is all about partnerships, I asked my mates to stay with me but they did not listen I guess. Two fast bowlers got injured before the tournament started and that has hurt us.

Niroshan Dickwella is awarded the Player of the Match for his knock of 62(41b). Let's hear what he has to say: I think I took enough risks. It was a tough pitch, had to take calculated risks and build partnerships with Ravi (Bopara). I want to be available for the team, I want to perform and win matches for the side. (On being asked whether the plans change with the format) It is the same approach, I will be focused ball by ball and will take any catches that come my way

Excellent comeback from Colombo to snatch a win after that whirlwind opening stand between Jordan Cox and Shevon Daniel. The right-left combination blasted away at the top and by the halfway stage of the 5th over had 50 on the board.

But a sensational catch from Drakes brought an end to Cox's innings and Colombo came back through their spinners into the game. Mathews cleverly rotated his bowlers and increased the asking rate.

Daniel and Rajapaksa holed out to in the deep and Lakmal came back to dismiss the dangerous Abell. Sikandar Raza too disappointed as he fell for duck and that put too much pressure on Shanaka.

The strike was not rotated at the end and Shanaka was left to do too much. Janat held his nerve in the final over to close out the game.

Dambulla will feel this is a game they should've won after the opening stand and considering they were chasing just 166.

Match result: Colombo Stars win by 9 runs

19.6 Karim Janat to Dasun Shanaka, COLOMBO STARS WIN! Length delivery on the line outside the off stump, Shanaka hits that one down towards long on for a single. That's that for this match as Colombo Stars win the match by 9 runs.

19.5 Karim Janat to Dasun Shanaka, SIX MORE! Back of a length delivery, was a slower one from Janat. Shanaka hits that one a long way over the deep square leg boundary for a maximum

19.4 Karim Janat to Dasun Shanaka, SIX! GETS A HOLD OF THAT ONE, BUT ITS A LITTLE TOO LATE! Full and on the off stump, Shanaka makes a little bit of room and hits that one hard and down the ground, all the way over the ropes for a maximum

19.3 Karim Janat to Dasun Shanaka, full, quick and straight at the middle and the off stump. Shanaka hits that one towards deep square leg. He doesn't run though

19.2 Karim Janat to Dasun Shanaka, short from Janat. Shanaka has a play and a miss. No run and Dambulla Aura need 23 runs in 4 balls

19.1 Karim Janat to Dasun Shanaka, slower short ball dug into the pitch. Shanaka looked to pull that one away but fails to dispatch it over the ropes. No run

23 needed off the last over and Shanaka rightly sent back Ratnayake off the last ball as he wanted to be on strike. Tall order but can he do it?

18.6 Naveen Ul Haq to Tharindu Ratnayake, short of a length delivery on the middle and the leg stump. Ratnayake pulls that one towards deep square leg but it lands aloof of the two fielder on the legside. The pair decide they will not take a run. 23 needed of the last 6 deliveries and it will be Dasun Shanka on strike

18.5 Naveen Ul Haq to Dasun Shanaka, DROPPED! Full and outside the off stump, Shanaka hits that one down the ground but the fielder shells it and the pair only manage a single. Colombo Stars won't mind that one

18.5 Naveen Ul Haq to Dasun Shanaka, full and wide outside off. The ball goes over the tramline on that occasion and it is called a wide by the umpire

18.4 Naveen Ul Haq to Dasun Shanaka, full and wide outside the off stump. Shanaka throws everything at it but fails to get a connect between bat and a ball. No run

18.3 Naveen Ul Haq to Tharindu Ratnayake, back of a length delivery on the line of the middle stump. Ratnayake looks to go big down the ground and only manages to hit it as far as the man at mid-off. The pair take a single
