Well, what a woeful performance from Galle Gladiators in the field. They seemed completely deflated, with sloppy fielding, poor bowling, and a general lack of inspiration characterising their effort. Viiking didn't bat all that well to get to 207. But they will back themselves to defend this.

We'll be back with the chase in a bit, but in the meantime, here's a https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/30452036/lpl-2020-vijayakanth-viyaskanth-spins-jaffna-history-books" target="_blank">piece on 19-year-old Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, who became the first born-and-bred Jaffna local to play in an internationally televised match from Sri Lanka.

Fernando to Samiullah Shinwari, FOUR, awful fielding at deep point. Asitha is bent over at the bowling crease in disappointment. This is a wide yorker that Shinwari throws his bat at. The connection is good but it should have been stopped by that fielder, who just parries it across the boundary. Asitha has been incredibly unlucky this over, which has gone for 19.
