END OF OVER:
20 | 14 Runs 1 Wkt | KAF: 160/8 | RR: 8.00

  • Chamika Karunaratne18 (9b)

  • Dilshan Madushanka3-0-41-2
  • James Fuller4-0-28-2

4:35pm An excellent finish for the Falcons. They started off fairly decently too, scoring 42 runs in the powerplay for the loss of just one wicket. In the middle overs, though, they lost their way, especially against Wellalage. In fact, it was not until Allen came out to the middle that the Falcons regained some sort of control. 160 is not as huge a score as yesterday, but it is not a bad total to have on the board as well on this used surface.

The Kings, meanwhile, would be ruing the number of runs they conceded towards the end. That said, they will back their powerful batting unit to chase this total down, despite the pitch turning and the Falcons' bowling attack. Do join us in a bit to see how the run-chase unfolds!

Madushanka to Karunaratne, 2 runs, sharp bumper at the batter on leg stump. Karunaratne is taken aback and the ball pings off his body towards the keeper. He sets off for the single and the keeper fires a throw at the bowler's end. The fielder backing up then misfields and allows the second

Madushanka to Allen, OUT, knocks him over! Full and straight. Allen misses and Madushanka hits. This might have been slightly fuller than the previous delivery, and the extra pace means that Allen is late on the stroke. Goes past the bat and rattles into the stumps!

The Falcons are within touching distance of 150 now. Can they get to 160? Allen and Karunaratne have been seeing them pretty well so far. Madushanka to bowl the final over
