Pitch Report

This looks a dry pitch. This will be not be a wicket on which spin won't come into play. The good length area is the one for the faster bowlers to target. But in the power play, the batters should have a field time on this deck. As reckoned by Russel Arnold.

Commentary

That will be all from us here at Sportskeeda, and we hope that you enjoyed this last-ball thriller as much as we did bringing it to you. Until next time, see you and take care. The LPL action continues and stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more live action coming your way!

Niroshan Dickwella (Galle Marvels' captain): I want to thank the Lord first. When I spoke to Hales when we walked out to bat, I told him that we should go for it and build a partnership as well. I wanted to target the leg-spinner. We dragged the game till the very end but managed to cross the line. We played well.

Charith Asalanka (Jaffna Kings' captain): I think we had enough runs on the board. The spinners bowled really well, but I feel that the pacers could have been more effective. Their openers batted really well, and I congratulate them.

Alex Hales is the Player of the Match: It was a different surface than the ones I am used to back in the UK. It took me a bit of time but I managed to cash in when I got settled. Dickwella made my job really easy. I just wanted to keep going. It did not happen in the powerplay but later on I managed to get some momentum going my way.

Galle Marvels beat Jaffna Kings by 5 wickets!

Alex Hales 65 (47) | Zahoor Khan 3-34
Avishka Fernando 59 (48) | Dwaine Pretorius 2-23

This game saw a lot of topsy-turvy events till the very end but eventually it was the stronger team that kept its composure and won quite convincingly.

Jaffna Kings bowled well till the end but were not able to convert it into a positive result even as Galle Marvels chased the target down, albeit with a tad discomfiture towards the end.

They will be immensely proud of their efforts here and hope that they can carry this momentum further into the tournament. Defeating a team as decorated as Jaffna is not easy and it must give Galle a lot of confidence.

One can only hope that this confidence is not misplaced and they carry this momentum throughout the tournament. They will be looking forward to putting up many such showings for their legion of fans throughout this tournament.

The solid knocks played by Alex Hales and Niroshan Dickwella played a massive role for Galle in the end, as did the brave scoop shot that Sahan Arachchige played to seal the deal for his team.

Arachchige takes the dangerous route but picks up a boundary nonetheless! GALLE MARVELS WIN THIS GAME!

19.6 Asitha Fernando to Sahan Arachchige, ARACHCHIGE WINS IT FOR GALLE MARVELS! Good length slower delivery on off-stump. He moves across the stumps confidently, brings out the lap-scoop and connects beautifully to get this one over short fine-leg and away to the boundary! That is some shot under such pressure, that too second ball!

19.5 Asitha Fernando to Dwaine Pretorius, OH HO! Full and fast on middle-and-leg. Pretorius moves across the stumps and tries to ramp it away. All that happens is a single to the left of short fine! 2 runs to get off 1 ball now!

Four needed off two now!

19.4 Asitha Fernando to Sahan Arachchige, good length ball around off-stump. Knocked around to deep mid-wicket off the back foot for a single to bring Pretorius on strike. 4 runs needed off 2 balls!

Sahan Arachchige, LHB, is the new batter.

Just when Galle looked like cruising to a certain victory, they see the dashing Liyanage depart!

19.3 Asitha Fernando to Janith Liyanage, STRAIGHT TO BACKWARD POINT! Short and slow on off-stump. Liyanage backs away and cuts off the back foot. But he wasn't in control on that occasion. All he ended up doing is find the man perfectly, on the full!

Janith Liyanage c Pathum Nissanka b Asitha Fernando 25 (13b 3x4 1x6)

Liyanage has got that one away for a boundary!

19.2 Asitha Fernando to Janith Liyanage, THIS IS FOUR! Low full and with pace on around off-stump. Liyanage opens the bat face and swings the bat hard. The ball finds the gap past the right of short third for a boundary!

19.1 Asitha Fernando to Janith Liyanage, yorker around off-stump. Liyanage steps out and tries to squirt it out to point but fails to connect! Dot ball.

Behrendorff bowled a fine over but conceded a six off the last delivery to undo all the good work. He will be displeased with the way he conceded a loosener. Galle now need nine runs off the last over.
